AKL - Free Dining and my guys don't want to stay there.

My son's favorite resort is AKL! He is 8 now. We've stayed there twice. The pools are awesome, the activities for kids are great, and the resort if beautiful. It really makes you feel like you are on vacation when you stay at AKL, and the Disney magic is still there :) GO AKL!!
 
Mostly, they hate that the buses as the only transportation option.
The bus back to the parks at closing time is absolutely horrible for POR. They get really long lines and need several buses in order to get everyone back to the resort. We had to wait for four buses one night at DHS and three buses at Epcot, and we had left before Illuminations started.

You just can't compare a deluxe resort to a moderate. We really like POR and would not hesitate to recommend it. But in the case where buses are the reason someone is using to select a resort, AKL wins over any moderate or value, and even a few deluxe resorts.
 
My boys would choose POR too unless we weren't going to the parks much. I know it's weird.
 
POR vs. AKL? And they want POR? I'm just scratching my head about that because they don't like buses? POR - with it's multiple bus stops that take forever?
 

While we've stayed at both and loved both, AKL wins hands down for us too. It's beautiful, not like going to a zoo. Besides, it's like walking thru a zoo vs spending the night in deluxe accommodations in a zoo where you can walk out on your balcony (which po doesn't have) and see the animals. The accommodations don't compare.
