BC vs PO - help me decide

[TheSouthernBelle]

I just changed my reservation! We will be staying at PO Riverside! Total savings is $2763.94USD or $3602.78CAD. With that extra savings I can book an all inclusive resort for a week in Mexico. It's really a no brainer.
We can save BC for when my kids are older.

Thank you so much to everyone who provided advice.

You'll have a blast. My kids have stayed at a number of deluxe resorts and my youngest still says POR is her favorite hotel by far. We've stayed at POR 3 different times and each stay it feels a little different depending on which section of the resort you're in. It's always a great experience for us. Enjoy!

Do you know if the resort will store our luggage? Im worried we won’t have space to put them anywhere.

Under the bed. The beds are raised so you can put suitcases underneath.

I've never heard of them storing bags for people who don't want them in their rooms. Plus even if they would, that's a lot of to-ing and fro-ing to take them to your room, take the empties back, pick up the empties, take the empties back to your room, and then take them for getting them moved or to your car to move them. Or a lot of time waiting on bell services - because I doubt they'll stand there and wait for you to empty them.

You made the best choice. My kids barely remember the hotels at Disney until they hit 7-9 years old and then they remember them vividly (and we are DVC members). And still in all of that, they LOVE Port Orleans FQ and the Carribean Beach Club Pirate rooms, which we used DVC points to stay 2 nights each. Moderate Disney resorts are Deluxe to kids 5-12 and even first or infrequent Disney visitors. Hope you have a magical vacation!
