We will be taking our daughter to Disney for the first time next fall. She will be 6 years old. Which is the best moderate resort for kids as far as theme and pools and such?
I would suggest Port Orleans French Quarter or Caribbean Beach Resort with a request to be located near the main pool.
Both have decent kid friendly food and good pools for kids... and you will be located close to the pool in POFQ and can get reasonably close with a decent request being granted at CBR (look at a map, choose any of the villages that are next to the pool or over the bridge). Both have theming that kids find appealing.
I would avoid Coronado because the food is unusual and the pool a long walk. Port Orleans Riverside may be a long walk to the pool. Neither is themed especially great for kids.
