First Family Trip - Which Moderate??

[Lilolvr]

Who prefers Coronado Springs to Caribbean Beach and why? What amenities, other than meeting space and suites, does Coronado offer that Caribbean does not? Does Caribbean offer amenities that Coronado does not? I am not interested in using the pools and don't mind how far I have to walk to the buses.

CSR offers a spa, a salon, a fitness center (free to its guests), and four lounges (one with live entertainment). CSR also has elevators.

I am prejudiced as I have only stayed at POR and POFQ. The reason that is where I stay is the boat to DTD. I too have small ones and your 3 YO will love not only the boat ride but also DTD itself. There is a small train ride and a small carousel for them to ride there. Also you will not be able to get him/her away from the "spitting" water at the entrance to one of the stores. I forget what store it is but I think it is stitch that spits out onto the walkway and the kids love it. Besides POR-POFQ do share busses, but remember it all used to be one big resort, so if you look at it as POFQ being the first stop it is not that bad, besides sometimes they do not share busses it depends on crowd levels.

We vote for PO Riverside. We typically stay offsite because we have an off-site timeshare but for Thanksgiving a few years we back we stayed at POR and absolutely loved it! We highly recommend it! Happy planning!

The Dolphin or Swan?
These will I believe run about the same as a moderate. They are excellent IMO and are within walking distance of Epcot & MGM Studio, or you can take a boat.
Try going directly to their website, and checking rates. (I've found they are less expensive that way) It's worth a shot. Their service is great and the pool and grounds are excellent as well.
Good luck and HAVE FUN no matter what you decide.

I would recommend CSR! Nice pool, good transportation, and terrific atmosphere.

Thanks everybody for all of your feedback! I can tell from the responses that we really can't go wrong! We have decided on the POFQ for a couple of reasons. First it is a little smaller and I think that will fit our 3 YO better. Also the bus pick up and proximity to DTD are a plus. I have also booked the Princess Storybook Dining breakfast at Epcott during out stay in May. Is there anything I need to know about that.

I will continue to roam the DisBoards are y'all are the most informational group I have ever seen!

Thanks for the help, it made the difference!
