A few questions??

[kendo43]

Me and my wife are planning on going to DW December 9-15 2012. We have not yet booked our trip yet but are leaning heavily toward staying at Port Orleans Riverside. We went for our honeymoon (aug 7-13 2011) and stayed at the Kidani village and had a blast. We have heard great things about PO Riverside, and about going in early December. Is it worth spending a little extra cash to stay at Riverside versus Value resort? and typically how are the crowds for early Dec? I know it varies from Yr to Yr but usually how are things around that time? Thanks!
