We are planning on going in December, and I am not sure where I want to stay yet, so what are your favorite moderate resorts and why. Thanks for the help...
Looks like I'm going to have to dare to deviate from the popular CSR, and vote for POFQ!!!
We stayed at POFQ from Dec. 8 thru the 15th in 2007 and fell in LOVE. It is a small resort, so nothing is far. The pool was fun, the hot tub was LOVE. You are the first ones on and the first ones off of the bus, which I appreciate! It is intimate, adorable, and the boat to DTD is a dream.....
1)Beautiful grounds: water everywhere, large trees, bushes, flowers, wildlife.
2)Boat access to Downtown Disney
3) Location: very convenient to downtown Disney; short easy drives everywhere else
4)Nice rooms
5)Boatwright's for breakfast (sweet potato pancakes to die for)
6)Fulton's store
7) Carriage rides
It's just a great place. The overwhelming reason I love it is the theming. Just a beautiful setting. Hard to believe it's a moderate resort.
POR! I love the long, winding, tree-lined paths. I love the boat service that will take you to DownTown Disney--much nicer than riding the bus! The food court is good, the gift shop is one of the largest at a Disney resort, and Piano Man Bob is always ready for a good time!
CSR for us. We'll be staying for the 7th time this September. Love the landscaping, the Casitas, the Dig Site Pool, Hot Tub, Quiet Pools, the gift shop (one of the largest), Pepper Market, the spa, etc.
If you can get a good rate, the Swan and Dolphin are comparable price. Plus more deluxe amenities like room service, movies on demand, walk to Epcot/Hollywood Studios, lots of dining options, balconies (not all rooms).
