Pop or POFQ for Mom and DD trip?

[minnieandmickey]

I have stayed at what was the former Dixie Landings and loved it. I am surprising my DD (12) with a Mom and DD trip. I am biting the bullet and getting a package with the magic dining option, but I don't know what to chose. There is a $300 difference between POFQ and POP, just to let you know I will be exclusively using Disney Transportation.

Hmm...well. FQ is a great resort but FQ and Pop are not in the same catagory. PopC is a value and FQ is a moderate. Would you use the bit of extra ammenities at FQ? Such as a hot tub at the pool or the waterslide at the pool for DD? The value resorts won't have either. Slightly larger room? Boat to DTD? Sit down restaruant at POR (you can walk over or hop the boat over). If not, you may be happier staying at PopC and saving the $300. I can say that bus transportation was excellent when we stayed at FQ last June. FQ is the first to get picked up before heading over to POR and then to the parks and also first to get dropped off coming back from the parks (so getting a seat was never a problem) and buses ran frequently without alot of waiting.
I don't know about POPC but there bus transportation may be good as well. But if the little bit of extra ammenities appeal to you then it may be worth the extra $$.

HTH's. Best of luck deciding!

I vote POFQ. I think POFQ and POR are the nicest of the moderates. You will have more dining options available to you at POFQ and can easily go to Boatwright's for a sit down meal.
