Best moderate for little ones?

[glocon]

Thank you - we are waiting for the new Disney offer to be released on April 25th (and keeping everything crossed its a free dine offer!),

Wait- do we know that there will be a new offer released on 4/25? Tell me about this .....

I’m still new to WDW relatively speaking (only going for two years now) but has there been free dining offered in January? I imagine yes at some point just not recently?

I cannot remember if the pool is zero entry but there is a very small kid’s pool at POR that does have zero entry and will be great for your little ones if you feel like making the trek.

We stayed at POR last summer and I'm pretty sure there was no zero entry pool (kiddie or otherwise) there.

You are right, the toddler pool is at French Quarter, not Riverside.

I was just at POR in January and I swear I saw a small toddler pool just across the pool (like across from the slide) that was zero entry. Guess not. But it’s super shallow either way little ones should be fine.

Thanks all, we are having a hard time choosing but looks like it will be POFQ or Coronado Springs. I like that FQ is so small, but also really like the look of Coronado

Yep, there is a small, shallow kiddie pool, it just doesn't have zero entry. (Not that that should be a problem since it is very shallow.) Found a pic for anyone interested:

CBR is the only moderate with a zero entry pool. Considering the ages of your children, i'd say this is a big deal. They have the best kids pool area IMO.

As far as buses go, yes its a big resort but to me CBR buses wasnt a big deal as each village has a bus stop. Its not so bad if you have a room close to the bus stop.

Thanks, unfortunately CBR is coming in most expensive by quite a bit for our dates - guessing as the skyliner will be open by then. Have just seen a pic of the kids splash area at POFQ and it looks amazing! That said, we are going in January so may not even use the pool if it isn't warm enough

Good point! Might not even be warm enough to swim. POFQ is a great resort....nice and compact.

In the UK were are waiting for Disney to announce anew offer on April 11th, that would be bookable from April 25th for stays in 2020. In previous years it has been the free dining offer, so keeping fingers crossed!

French quarter, not crowded and small foot print.

Ok so the UK free dining offer was announced this morning
It's now definitely between Coronado Springs and POFQ. Surprisingly Coronado is coming in as the cheapest mod for our dates, and is £350 cheaper for the 2 weeks, so that has us swaying towards staying there. Pretty much everyone is recommending POFQ though so really don't know what to do! We are coming in January so the pool I guess we may not use at all. Just need someone to make the decision for me I think!

Don't forget about Art of Animation. More of a moderate by price. It is very kid friendly in design and has the largest zero entry pool of all resorts.

We like Coronado Springs too. I don't think you will be sorry staying at any of these resorts. Save the money and use it for more souvenirs.

We loved PO. And are staying at CSR next trip to try something new. They both look great!
