We have stayed at many of the deluxe hotels. I have done Poly GVC, GF, YC twice, CR, WL twice, and the dolphin. Last year with the new baby we wanted to go for a longer period of time to take it slow and with the new baby, a long stay in a deluxe wasn't in the cards. Besides, with free dining the moderates were a great deal. We did POFQ and loved it. As compared to the wilderness lodge, you won't notice the room size difference. POFQ had a lot of features we liked - a great pool, the wonderful boat ride down the sassagoula to DTD, a good and inexpensive food court, nice grounds with a great path to walk down to riverside. We do feel you need a car there, but we like to have a car anyway. You wont feel like you are missing anything. It was a great vacation at a reasonable price.
