We've stayed at both. CSR is quiet and beautiful, the pool is awesome, water slide, kids pool. Th only bad we saw was the food court was very limited. Almost to the point we said we may not go back. POP was fun, loved the theme, and had a great food court with a wonderful selection. We were honestly deciding between the two this time to qualify for free dining, and we went with CSR. The main reason, we are going thanksgiving week and figured with the crowd levels high, it is a quiet resort to go back to. Even when it's 100% booked! you can't tell. We just decided to time our counter service meals someplace else. CSR also has queen beds compared to doubles at POP.
