Ok here's my situation.....I upgraded from POP Standard Room (wanted a room in the 60's building facing the lake) to a POR Preferred room. I've only stayed on property once and that was at POP back in 2009. My family is me, DH, DD(7) and DS(4).
Pros to POR:
1. Queen size bed
2. Beautiful grounds
3. Better pool than POP (at least from what I can tell from pictures)
4. It's something different - never stayed there before.
Cons to POR:
1. It's $600 more expensive
With that in mind, we will be spending a little more time than usual at the resort. The weather is going to be insanely hot and mid day breaks for swimming or resting is going to be a requirement.
Am I crazy to stick with POR? Should I save that money, apply it towards a savings account for the next trip? Or are the grounds and queen sized beds really worth it? My husband and I are both small people, but I can't imagine squeezing into a full bed when we sleep in a queen at home.
Also, we will be in Disney for the first week of Free Dining. I'm not sure how crowded POP is going to be the first week....how about POR (since they did offer it that week, I'm sure the majority of people went there if they had the opportunity)?
