    Which Moderate resort do you prefer and why??

    Seems that CBR is the only mod where you get 2 sinks plus lots of counter space! With POR/POFQ you get 2 sinks but only a shelf above the sink for your stuff, and at CSR you get more counter space but only 1 sink.

    Which Moderate resort do you prefer and why??

    All of the mods, with the exception of CSR, have double sinks. My fav is POR. We loved the landscaping, the wildlife, the peacefulness of the resort after a hectic day at the parks. We loved the boat to DTD, too. The busses were fine. We never used our car and had very little wait times...

    Port Orleans Riverside or French Quarter?! Advice please!!

    I loved POR, and the AB rooms do remind me of the WL, too. BUT.....requesting AB is just that-a request and not a guarantee-so I wouldn't choose POR unless you would be o.k. with either AB or mansions. We were fortunate enough to get an AB room, but the mansions were also very nice, so it...

    Transportation from the Coronado

    We always rely on Disney transportation and have never had any problems. Going from resort to resort will take you longer, but if you just give yourself plenty of time you shouldn't have any trouble. I would only rent a car if I was going outside of The World.

    Coronado Springs versus Port Orleans

    I've seen it mentioned on the Disboards many times, but just to make sure I went to Allears.net and under the fact sheets it shows the rooms at CBR ro be 340 sq. ft. as opposed to 314 sq. ft. I don't really know if that's a sizable difference, but maybe others can tell us if it's a noticeable...

    Coronado Springs versus Port Orleans

    Just wanted to add that CBR rooms are a little bigger than the other 3 mods, which are the same size. Also, CSR is the only mod that only has 1 sink. The others have 2 sinks. (in case any of that matters yo you!) If you are a guest of either PO resort, you can use all the amenities (pool...

    questions on moderate hotels.

    That's why I added "that I'm aware of" ;) My point was just that every resort has some amenities that are exclusive to that resort. You just have to do your homework and pick one that has the things you like and that are important to you.

    questions on moderate hotels.

    Most resorts have some amenities that others don't. POR/POFQ has the boat to DTD, carriage rides and on-site fishing, while none of the others do, that I'm aware of. So you're getting just as much for your money there as at CSR.

    Bedbugs @ CSR, too!

    On the thread about bedbugs at POR, someone posted that they just got back from CSR and had bedbugs there also. So for all of you who were thinking of changing your POR reservations, as you can see it can happen anywhere. Just be sure to check thoroughly before opening any luggage. Like...

    Port Orleans French Quarter yes or no?

    Although no one can guarantee that you will love a resort or have nothing go wrong, I honestly believe you will enjoy POFQ. I recently stayed at POR but visited at POFQ and thought they were both lovely resorts. If the theming appeals to you, then it is probably the right choice! We didn't...

    The Honeymoon Question: POFQ or CSR?

    I'd have to vote for POFQ, also. Reasons: the carriage ride, the boat to DTD, the jazz entertainer at ScatCats, and the rooms are nicely decorated. It seems like a very intimate, romantic resort. Congratulations!

    Just back from POR and marathon weekend!

    I was a little surprised by that comment also. I understood your trip to be enjoyable and that you were just noting some observations and things that could use some improvement. Congratulations on the marathon! What a great achievement! :thumbsup2

    How does POR or CSR make you feel...."Ahh, so nice!" or "Hmmm, kinda motelish?"

    I don't think any of the moderates seem motelish! I think they are all very lovely and well-themed. I think the mods are an excellent value, too.

    Just back from POFQ

    Holy smokes, you are right! I went to tripadvisor.com and found the reviews you cited, and this review was definitely borrowed. Here is the link: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34515-d120305-r12173917-Disney s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter-Orlando Florida.html#TOPC We...

    Just back from POFQ

    I was going to mention that same thing. Other than CBR, all mod rooms are the same size, so the room size shouldn't have been a surprise. And the beds at ALL the mods are double, or full size, so that shouldn't have been a shock either. As for all the other problems, sorry you got such an...
