Help deciding b2tween PORS. CBR, POP, or ??

[2BoysMomma]

Please, help us choose where we should pick this year. We have only stayed at CBR at WDW. The problem we have is that we know the hotel, we are comfortable with it, and like that. We would like to try a new place, but we are unsure what would be a nice fit for our family. We do spend a lot of time at the parks and Downtown Disney. We needs comfortable sleeping arrangements for 2 tired boys plus mom and dad . A decent pool for them to play and swim because they are no where near petite. They are only 7 & 8, but they are only about a little under a foot shorter than myself and I am 5 foor 9 inches!! Any information that you can help us out with would be great! Thank you in advance! It is very much appreciated

Momma, we've always enjoyed our stays at POR and POFQ. If you like CBR, you might find that POR is similar in size, number of pools etc. POFQ is a lot smaller than CBR and POR and POFQ only has one pool. Also, the food court at POR is comparable to the food court at CBR (although CBR's might have a slight edge?), while the food court at POFQ is relatively small. The nighttime entertainment offering at POR is a lot of fun (YeeHaw Bob), while the entertainment at POFQ is more subdued (very talented one man act). The good news is that both have boat service to Downtown Disney (very nice ride down the river). Plus, POR and POFQ are next door to each other within a very short walk - you can visit both food courts and pool hop with no problem.

We have stayed at all 3 mentioned in your title. I do like the mods better, but you can't go wrong with any of them. We liked all of them. You have stayed at CBR twice, I say it's time to try something new. We like PORS. It was so pretty. We were in the mansions. There is the boat to DTD. We didn't have trouble finding our way around the resort, and I am not real good at navigating! The beds were fine, actually I think they have queens now?

We are staying at POR on our upcoming trip- if you stay in the alligator bayou section (which you are not guaranteed since you aren't a family of five, but you can request) you have two queen beds AND a pull down Murphy bed. This gives you an extra bed so your family can spread out a little bit if that's important to you. Whatever resort you decide on- have a wonderful trip!!

I want to thank you for reminding me of the pool hopping option! I am sure the boys would like that! I am not sure, honestly have no idea, how much my DH would enjoy the night time entertainment. I will have to look into it! I do have to admit I like the boat service though!! That is a plus!! Thank you so much for the help, I appreciate it.
