You didn't mention the lack of seats at the Value bus stops.

Thanks everyone!! This is all great info! We were planning on a trip this year and staying at the Poly but a family cruise came up (with tons of extended family) so we are opting to do that and save DW for next year. And since the girls will be older next year, we are thinking we'll save the money we'd spend on the convenience of the monorail and stay a longer time but at a less expensive property.
Question about fridges - if you're on the meal plan and if you have the resort mugs, do you find much of a need to have the fridge?
One more thing - I'm leaning towards Pop Century or ASMovies for the Values or if at a Mod then probably POFQ or POR. Do any of those (or ALL) have splash areas for the kids or toddler pools or playgrounds? Is there anything about one over another that would stand out as more enticing for a 3 and 4 yr old? THANKS!!
Ok, here is why I like the moderates over the values, and it won't be popular, and it will paint me in a bad light, but whatever.
It isnt the rooms, it's many other things. Well, OK, it's a little bit the rooms -- moreso, it's the entire grounds of the moderates versus the values. With the mods you have some beautiful landscaping. You have shaded bus stops (and that matters after a 20-minute wait in the Florida sun, you have water and ducks and just a more serene atmosphere than at the values. It's a more relaxing environment.
You will hear people say they "just sleep at the values," and I would say "Well, yes, and there is a reason for that." Who wants to spend a day hanging out there? The moderates are quieter beause when you pay that extra money you get more than a bed and a place to relieve yourself. You get a resort, a complete resort at which you can relax, let the kids play in a nice big pool with big slides (and we all know how important those are).
When you pay less you get less, and you are put with people who are expect less. Sounds snotty, but there it is. Tar and feather me.
Yes it does sound snotty- mission accomplished.
It wasn't the wait times because imo, they're all essentailly the same at any resort when it comes to buses. Every resort can be hit or miss at different times... but it was getting there and having like 5 bus stops until we got to the main building that I didn't like. I don't like it about other resorts also so it's just not CSR. I don't like it about CBR especially since it's the most spread out, more than CSR. Which is too bad because I like the theme of both resorts... but oh well.
I just really like only having point a to point b bus service at Pop, it's the ONLY resort that doesn't ever share another bus with another resort or has more than on internal stop.

lol. yes, but i do notice you're staying at CBR.
Good call.
Actually I have stayed values and moderates and like them both. For our upcoming trip we are staying at POP!! My favorite resort is AS Sports so there you go. I didn't pick CBR for our trip next march because I am a "moderate resort snob" I picked it because we have never stayed there before and want to give a shot.
Excellent. You have found something that works well for you and your family, so that is a huge part of the experience. I am happy to acquiesce. Enjoy your trip. I don't think I am a "moderate snob," I think i have found something that works well for MY family.
Enjoy!
