I never stayed in AB Tishy . I heard the rooms are even bigger than the mansions and can fit a family of 5 . How far from the main building are they ?

Depends which block you are in, we were actually closer in AB than the mansion!!!!
The only downside to it was the walk from the car, I had to do it a few times at night on my own when I had dropped my parents or nephews off at their hotels, I used to run through the complex because with all of the trees it gets a bit creepy (although it never occured to me I could have parked in the reception carpark and walk that way past the wheel but nevermind)
I thought the inside of the rooms were to a better standard, because in the mansion rooms everything is like a brassy metal it looks tarnished and worn very quickly but in AB it was all wood.

Hey Cooks123,

I had the exact same dilemma, but we just came back from FQ and toured POR, and I did not regret it at all!
The rooms are clean and cute, the pool is great and so is the food court.
Everything is reachable in a 3 minute stroll.

But as someone reminded me, how much time do you actually spend at your resort?
I'd say 7 hours; sleeping
;-)

Edit:
Oh, and we never had to share buses with POR, guess we got lucky.

When we were choosing, i was leaning towards Riverside, but when we booked that was booked, so we had to have French Quarter, but after reading this , I'm happy with the choice we have , can't wait, so excited and i think the hotel, as someone said, how much time are we going to be in there?? lol

. Can't wait, I know it's a long time, but my counter is going down

I don't think you can make a bad choice, when it comes to POR or FQ. Both are really good and you will have such a great time.
