We've done both resorts... POP was an escape resort from Wilma shutting down Amtrak, we were fi is he'd with our stay at the Poly and wanted a resort to ride out the restarting kf Amtrak to go home, cheaply .... We're not value fans, too much in the face icons and rectangle plain pools are not our bag either... We would never schedule a vacation at a value..
Moderate, same again we're deluxe fans and prefer the interior halls, themed pools and restaurant setting type resort.... Got a deal one for CSR and must say was not impressed one bit... Too sprawled out end to end, crossing the parking lot to the bus stations not ideal and the conventions are too on going and noticeable...like I said, if you're on the wrong end of the resort, it's a long walk to the pool or mug refill area, and after spending all day walking in the parks, I don't want that at the resort too.. And as for paying extra for preferred area... Might just as well pay a little more and stay deluxe....
We chose resorts on location, what park we're closed to, which we like and prefer with a couple of options of getting there....
