I'm making the right decision...right?!?!

[momtoprincesses]

I am in the middle of planning our second family trip to DW. We were there in December 2014 to celebrate my oldest daughter's 5th birthday. We are returning in February to celebrate my middle daughter's 5th birthday. Last time we stayed at WL for five days and loved it. However, we have since added our third daughter to our family and so we are looking to do things a little less expensive this time.

I considered a Lion King Suite at AoA and the cabins, but both ended up being on the higher end of what I want to spend. I also considered CBR for the pull down bed, but the theming isn't necessarily my cup of tea (and my youngest daughter can sleep in a pack and play as she'll only be 16 months when we travel). I also looked at POR and POFQ but ultimately decided on POFQ (even though I think I would enjoy the theming of POR more) for these reasons: small resort would fit traveling with three small children and being close to the main building no matter where our room is, having access to POR and the extra food options, the boat to DTD, and the cheapest price tag. If a discount comes out later or a free dining option arises then I may reconsider one of the more expensive options.

Does this sound good? Anything I am missing? Thanks for your input!

I definitely think you are on the right track.

with your youngest at 16 months you can still stay at WL - or you can rent a reservation thru a DVC member or broker and stay at VWL (or any DVC resorts) I think for cheaper than the moderates. (now a 1-bedroom may be more)

I would still love to stay at WL but not in the budget this time

It's going to be under construction by then too.

That sounds wonderful to me! You will really enjoy either POFQ or POR!!

I didn't realize that. This makes me feel better that we can't stay there this time

Thank you! I really think we will like it. We are going with an open mind and we are excited to try something new!

I think that's a good choice.

 

[Aliceacc]

ANYTHING you choose will be the right choice.

Friends stayed at POFQ and loved it.

POFQ and POR are both lovely resorts.

now there is NOT a restaurant at POFQ - just a food court (quick service) - there is one at POR. which is not a long walk away

POFQ would also be my vote.... and the access to POR a real bonus!
