POR or Caribbean Beach?

[HopperFan]

Two resorts that you will find big fans for each, that are less in love with the other.

Thoughts:
- Do not book Pirates rooms, they are double beds and your boys are older so I'd go with queens.
- CBR is the better pool for little kids but I don't see any advantage to older kids.
- Neither pool is really geared for older kids so I would look at pictures of both.
- POR does have the boat to DS if you think you'll head there. Nice perk.
- There may be some land disturbance construction going on at CBR this summer,
I would request a room as far from that as I could.
- CBR's rooms (other than Pirate) are a new renovation.
- POR has a great food court and POFQ has a new food court in walking distance.
- Two completely different looks so I would look at pictures and see which clicks for you.

Thats not a CBR problem. Thats a Trinidad South problem!! Not the area to stay in if its important to be close to the dining and pool.

This. You have to consciously book a Pirate Room. And if they "upgrade" you, you can always ask to be moved into what you booked.

They are both nice but I enjoy POR over CBR. I think the transportation is better at POR, the ability to pool hop with POFQ is nice and the boat to Disney Springs is convenient.

I agree with this. Both are beautiful resorts BUT I too enjoyed POR a little more. Fewer bus stops, boat to dis.springs, plus the ability to hop over to POFQ pool or food court is a nice perk. Plus its a beautiful lush resort.
