Best Moderate for Honeymoon

[PryncessChrysty]

My DH-2-Be and I will be at WDW from 10/2/05 - 10/14/05 for our wedding/honeymoon. Neither of us have even seen any of the resorts in person. For the first four nights we'll be staying at the Boardwalk, which is the resort I'm most excited about. The next 8 nights we'll be staying at one of the moderates. I've looked at pics of all four of them and with the help of my mom (who's been there numerous times) I'm pretty set on POR, Alligator Bayou. I'm just wondering what other people think of the moderates, which is your favorite?

POR is the only moderate i've ever stayed at and it's my favorite hotel. we will be staying there for our honeymoon.

wildernessbride52105 - I'm so glad to hear that you love POR!

The results seem to be pretty even so far, except for Coronado Springs, I guess no one really likes it? From the pictures I've seen, I think I would like that better than CBR.

Does anyone have any particular thing they love about any of the moderates? I know some of you have stayed there, please share some of your insights!!

p.s. I know this would be good for the Disney Resorts board, and I've searched it on there, but I thought that since you all are wedding/honeymoon experts, you might have some good info.

Thanks, everyone!

We stayed at POFQ this past June and it is really nice and intimate and extremely clean. We had a waterview room in Bldg. 1 and would wake up every morning at sunrise and drink coffee watching the sun rise from our balcony. In fact, that is where DH asked me to marry him again! Its very romantic. Since we have been to POFQ, for our 2nd honeymoon after our VR in June, we think we may try POR, since it is the sister resort and the mansions seem very romantic also.

We really wanted to stay at S/D since that's where our VR is being held, but after seeing the lowest price of $325 for our dates, we started to rethink that idea. We really did enjoy the moderate last year.

We stayed at POFQ for our honeymoon and it was a nice quiet hotel and we were on the water so it had a pretty view. Before that we stayed at the CBR and it was very loud w/ screaming kids running you over at every turn and doing cannon balls into the hot tub. We like the hotel itself, but it was not very romantic.

I know this is old, but I thought I'd stand up for Coronado Springs. It is beautiful! It's very quiet and peaceful. Before I stayed there, I thought it looked tacky, but I loved walking barefoot through the sand and relaxing on a hammock. We stayed in the cabana and loved it.

We're staying at Riverside on our honeymoon, though, based on the recommendations of other.
