I just can't decide where to stay in August. We are currently booked at POP. It will be me, DH, DD (8), and DS (2). We are booked MYW with dining.
I am excited about POP , but POR looks so pretty.
I'm thinking the pros of POP are less money, one bus stop, new, and looks fun. I love pop culture and trivia so I think I would really enjoy the whole theming. And I think the kids would enjoy Goofy's pop jets.
I think the cons would be a longer bus ride to MK and Epcot and smaller rooms. The smaller rooms concern me. Since having DS, we have stayed at AKL, WL, and CSR. We usually put his pack 'n' play over by the sinks kind of separate from our beds so we can watch a little TV and not disturb him. I didn't realize until yesterday that there really won't be a separate area to put him. And DD will miss a pool slide.
POR looks really beautiful and I really like the theming, but I don't like having more than one bus stop and either being picked up last and it being standing room only with a stroller and small kids or being first and having to drive around to several bus stops (I know a rather small, petty concern). I'm thinking that even though the drive may be further from POP, by the time you drive around to several bus stops at POR, it will take just as long to get to MK from POR as it does to get there from POP. DS can be a major pain on the busses- we will have our own car though.
As you can see, I can see good and bad about both. The money matters only a little. I'd rather spend an extra $390 and be happy than lament not upgrading to POR.
