CBR or PO-R

We are taking a family trip to Disney Aug. 2022. It will be 4 families, with 2 kids, ages 12 and 9. They need a room with a 5th sleeper. If we stay at CBR, are there rooms with a 5th sleeper near the transportation & food? I know the resort is huge. Would PO-R be a smarter option? I've never stayed at either hotel. I love POFQ but not big enough for 5 people. My husband and I (the grandparents) don't want to walk far to eat or to go to the Gondola, especially in August. I'm a HUGE disney person, been there lots of times, but I'm having trouble picking a hotel that is good for all involved. HELP!

Haven't been to POR (going in February). CBR is pretty large but we loved it. The busses were busy but that was pre Skyliner.

I don't know figures, but I don't think POR is THAT much smaller than CBR if at all...

I’d look into getting a preferred room at POR.

we made a decision -staying at Caribbean Beach for the skyliner. Thanks for your help!

Both of these hotels are huge and could require a lot of walking.

If you want to be near the gondola, you might consider the Nemo suites at Art of Animation. The buildings are themed, so they have to be together, and they are centrally located to the gondola bridge and the buses. The AoA suites have two bathrooms, and privacy in the main bedroom. I'd rather do that than cram in a fifth sleeper, and it's about the same cost.
