Ok, I know 9/06 is a long way away, but I'm a planning freak!! We stayed at CBR in 1989, remember it being a hassle for the busses. Stayed at DL in 1999 and loved it especially the boat ride to DD. Although I think maybe we should try CS, I sort of want DL (or POR now, why did they change it?) any thoughts?
 
I have stayed at POR, POFQ and CSR. I did not like CSR's theming and being at the back of the resort which was a 10-15 minute walk to the front building. I preferred the landscaping at the PO's resorts much better. They also have the advantage of the boat ride to DTD and POR has an entertaining piano player in their lounge area some evenings.
 
THE PROS
No sharing bus service with other resorts
Centrally located with short rides to the parks
Largest hot tub on WDW property
Awesome main pool area with bar, snack bar, playground and kiddie pool
3 quiet pools
New shuttle service eliminates long walks to any of the villages
High speed internet service
WiFi available too
Free use of the gym
Spa
Fridge in the room
Coffeemaker in the room
Iron and ironing board
full room service menu
2 arcades
beautifully landscaped
central air, not a noisey wall unit

THE CONS
Full size beds (kings size beds are available)
one sink

IN THE MIDDLE
The Pepper Market is either a love it or hate it place. We love it but some folks just don't care for it.

Convention resort - some guests don't like seeing other guests at work. Doesn't bother us and helps keep the buses empty. GF, Cont, BW, Y & B Club are also convention resorts.

I don't think you can go wrong at any of the WDW resorts -- provided it's where you want to stay. I found CSR to be more like a deluxe resort than any other moderates based upon services provided (all-day room service, spa, golf carts, etc.). However, most people don't take advantage of these extras, so they might not make a difference to you. If you want to stay at POR, stay there!! I think the theming is fantastic.
