Moderate Resort: which one???

[jmmiller]

My family is going to Disney in January with another family. They've been a lot, but this is our first trip so we get to pick the resort. We have decided that we want to stay in a moderate resort but which one??? My kids like the Coronado, but the pictures are conflicting...Which one is the best for the price as far as luxury goes? Thanks.

we have stayed at csr and pofq. we loved both. csr is a bit fancier as it has queen size beds and a more elaborate pool and full service restaurant, but we actually are going back to pofq because it is so small, quiet and convenient. csr had a really long walk to get from some parts to others and it is much larger than pofq. at pofq it is very easy to run from the pool to the food court or the room, and the walk to your room from the bus is short as well. also there is the boat to dtd if that interests you. both resorts are great but depends upon your preference. good luck!

I prefer CSR especially since the rooms were so recently updated. I feel the POFQ and PO are a bit in need of a rehab. CSR is a bit bigger of a resort, but I have never had an issue with walking especially at CSR where the landscaping is beautiful and grounds peaceful. We have stayed at CBR too, but were so put off by the bus transportation we have no desire to go back. I do feel CSR has the better food court since there are so many more options, but I am sure others will disagree. It really comes down to what you prefer in size of resorts, location to parks (CSR is more centrally located), and theming.
