2 rms @ POP vs 1@ mod???

[beachgrl001]

in sept 08, it will be... me, my mom and my 2 kids 13&4 yrs. I have figured the prices to be the same for 1 rm at a mod and 2 rms at pop. which would you pick and why? I have only stayed onsite once at POFQ(really liked it I would really like to try another mod but feel like it would be smarter to spread out.
TIA

Two rooms at Pop would give you more room and two bathrooms. They just are not guaranteed to be adjoining.

I just got back from the POP and we had to adjoining rooms and found it to be a great way to stay! I initially used AAA for the rooms and had a rate of about 65 and then changes it to a code at 59.00 per night per room.

We loved having the 2 bathrooms as with 3 teenage daughters it seemed like one of them was always in use! I think the cost works out to be just about what one room at a Mod would be.

It was also nice to have the kids in the room next door which provided some much needed quiet time at night!

I would go with the two rooms also. The bedding isn't any bigger in a mod, and the rooms are only a tiny bit larger.

The mods have a few perks like a privacy curtan you can pull across the sink area, a ceiling fan, and a fridge. That is really the only advantage I see with the mods.

We opted for 2 rooms at POP for our stay this month. We have a 3 year old & a 4 year old. It was PERFECT for us -- I would not trade it for a "nicer" hotel room. We booked through Small World & they did guarantee us adjoining rooms, maybe because the kids are so young? I don't know, but we were guaranteed adjoining (obviously a concern for me with the kids). I can't speak to the moderates, but compared to many "nicer but not luxury" hotels I have stayed in, POP was fine. The lack of interior corridors didn't even bother me, and that is usually a HUGE dealbreaker for me when picking where to stay. I decided to suck it up for the space/money difference & I'm glad I did.

I was just thinking the same thing for this June. 2 rooms at POP or 1 At the Animal kingdom Lodge or a Moderate.
2 rooms, 2 bathrooms , 4 beds can't beat that.

DH and I stayed in a Family Suite at All Star Music ( a value resort) in Sept. of 2006.

We really enjoyed the Queen size bed, the kitchenette with the microwave, having a sofa and cushioned chair to sit on and relax after a day at the parks before retiring for the evening.

I thought the pullouts very comfortable.

They are designed so the back cushion and seat cushion of the pullout support the pullout. There is no metal bar to hurt the sleepers back.

I just booked our room for April. I ended up booking 2 rooms at POP instead of 1 at a mod. We did this last year too and it worked out better. We loved having 2 bathrooms and it gave the kids more room to spread out.
