OOOO...your day three looks like so much fun, I wish I was going to be there....wait...I am! 
At least for part of it! I have to forward that to my mom so she can see the drinks! I would love a mojito and some sunshine right now.
Its funny about what appeals to people about different resorts. I, too, would love to stay in a tower room (or even a garden wing room) at CR and we almost did this trip...in the end though, without any guarantee of a discount, there was no way I could justify the expense. When we were looking at mods for our last trip, I remember wishing that there was a resort with more modern-styled rooms, like at CR. I have this thing about icky polyester bedspreads!
I had been leaning toward POFQ because the grounds are so pretty and I've always wanted to go to New Orleans, but the sight of the rooms stopped me in my tracks. No way. To me they look like the Holiday Inn around the corner. In other words, every other decent hotel in the U.S.. Then I saw pictures of the rehabbed rooms at CSR and I fell in love! 
There was exactly what I was looking for: reasonable price with modern room interiors. The grounds aren't too bad, either! 
We actually liked the Disney busses and thought transportation from CSR was amazing, which had been one of my concerns. Some guidebooks make it sound like its in another state, practically.
OKW looks really pretty, but I think without a car (and we like NOT driving at Disney) it would be kind of tough. We really want to stay at AKL someday, though.
Sorry that was so long!
I'm just so excited and when I'm down and suffer a small setback (as we did today...long, boring story that is a certain part of my life) I can come on here and read another outstanding update from you!

Even more excitement! I don't know if I can manage any more! 
another one who approves of my Day 3 plans! Yeah, sleeping in sounds good, doesn't it! I need to add that we both get up real early in real life. Tom gets up at 3.30am and I get up at 5,15am, so sleeping until 8am IS sleeping in for us! 
And that is still early enough to get a few things done at WDW! 
You need to work harder on him, Yuki!
