Need help deciding, getting frustrated & confused???

Ok, I've already booked a trip staying at the Pop Century Resort. As it stands for the time being I will be traveling with my friend and my Mom. There's a chance my sister and my 4 year old niece may or may not come along as well, but we arent sure yet. The reason I booked value is to try to keep costs down. Im not planning on renting a car, we will rely on Disney Transportation. We booked a Dream Maker package for October 23rd - October 30..Im thinking about bumping up to a moderate resort..I dont know which one???? Or if I should just stick to PC? Ive stayed at the CBR before so I would rather the stay at one of the other two this time. I have to consider some things, like can they accomodate us with location close to the buses, pool and foodcourt (because my Mom has a hard time walking long distances), also how fast the buses run, do they run more frequently at a moderate as compared to a value resort? Also. who has the better food courts? It looks as if CS has alot of "Mexican style" like tacos, but no hamburgers?? I know I probably sound so stupid, but I want to make everyone happy and sometimes that is the hardest thing to do..Please help...

Thanks
Chris

Calm down, enjoy your planning! Its half the excitement!

As far as the resort goes, you have a lot of time and waiting time to see what kind of discounts might materilize for you. By october you might get a price / code for a moderate that would be comparable to your price at the values. Just keep watching the boards & www.mousesavers.com .

To check for food, I like deb's web site: www.wdwig.com she was menu's listed including food courts & room service. So you can see what is actually available. That should help. I have stayed at both PORS & the CBR I think cbr is maybe a little more spicey but not anything to crazy. I thought coronado had more mexician food / spicy /food for my taste. But for american down home cookin there ain't nothing like po-rs! The rice and beans with ham / chichen/ or ribs will keep your "american" taste buds very happy! I like the look of the resort too. Very olde deep south, thought we where on a plantation called "tara". Well before I become policitally incorrect > CBR does give you the "resort" vacation feel of the islands. They play the caribean music and the pool bar is lively. very fun, and active resort! Try to stay near olde port royal thou, pretty spread out.

Why not book two rooms at Pop if you have the other two joining you? It would be two bathrooms, two sinks, two TV's and lots of room. It would cost you about the same as a moderate (without an AP or special rate) and has lots going for it for kids and adults as well.

If you book without the dreamaker package and get park hopper+ passes you will save money, I booked a moderate with the Disney Visa for 99$ a nite with tax, plus about 250$ a person for parkhopper+ passes, btw new discount codes are going to be posted at mousesavers.com on tuesday
