CSR or POFQ?

[cadburysmom]

My 10 yr old son and I are trying to decide between CSR and POFQ for the first week of June. From everything I've read, both are really nice. I'm leaning towards CSR because of the great pool and waterslide and also because I understand the buses are quicker. We will mainly be in the parks but I like the option at POFQ to take the boat ride to Downtown Disney.

Help!.....your suggestions would be most appreciated!

Both are fine places to stay. You will find people who like one much more than the other. My personal opinion is that POFQ is the least interesting of the 4 moderates but there are others who will stay no where else. The pros of the POFQ resort are that it is small so there is, possibly, less walking to get food and drinks. The rooms are newly remodeled. I thought the boat to Downtown Disney was nice but not enough to lure me back.
I like CSR because it is spread out and has big views across the lake. I like the three themed areas and the food court is my favorite in terms of the food. The look of the food court is just okay. The pool at CSR is more impressive and adventurous while the pool at POFQ is really cute. The slide at CSR is much better.

I prefer the POFQ because the resort is a lot smaller, and easier to manage. It's an easy walk to the food court and bus stop from any room. CSR is a lot more spread out.

I do not like the way the food court is run at the CSR. When you go in the food court, a host or hostess will seat you, and will get your drinks for you. You get your own food (which is served on real plates instead of paper), and bring it to your table. The host or hostess will clear the table when you are done. For this service, you are charged an extra 10%. That adds up over the course of the week.

I've never had a problem with the buses at the POFQ in the three times I've stayed there. They've always been quick rides everywhere.

One thing I noticed about the CSR is the walls seem paper thin. We could hear our neighbors constantly, and they weren't even yelling. We could also hear the footsteps of the people above us. We never heard a sound at the POFQ.

Either way, I'm sure you'll have a great trip
