We've stayed at every moderate except CBR. (POFQ and CSR were only for one night each.) We recently returned from POR and LOVED it! We'd like to try CBR next time. Will we be disappointed or does it compare to POR? If you have stayed at both, which did you like better and why?

Thanks!

That is a tough one... CBR is wonderful and relaxing, but so is POR. Entirely different feelings when you stay at each. CBR is a like a little escape to the islands and POR is an escape to the deep south. Rooms and service were comparable. Both resorts are large and potentially include lots of walking to the main buildings, pools, etc.

We live in SC, so POR is sort of like home, but different because it is more of LA feel. Loved both resorts and feel they both have many positive things....

I am not sure where you live, but would you rather have a Caribbean vacation or a Bayou vacation? That is your personal preference. Both options were great....
 
They are both nice...I say stay at the one you have not stayed at yet!
 
Our favorite is POR. Although CBR was nice too. But each has a different feel, as mentioned by a previous poster. I think the "Mansions" side of POR is definately that feel of being in the deep south. I think the Alligator Bayou section, at least for us, is the feeling of being in northwestern Michigan in the summer time, with lots of trees, landscaping, and the river. We've stayed in an area in NW Michigan, near Lake Michigan, and there is a river that runs through it, and POR has that same feel, which we love. We liked POR food court better than CBR (although the last time we stayed at CBR was about 6 or 7 years ago, POR was January of this year). Thought POR has more of a variety of food court items to choose from. We rented a car while staying at POR, which was very convenient. We did use the bus service to MK once, and it wasn't too long of a wait going or returning. We like that POR isn't a very long drive to Epcot, HS, and DTD. We really didn't have any problem in finding our way around the area, driving our rental car. Most of the road signs are prettly clearly marked, including arrows pointing towards the WDW attractions too. I don't think we would go back to WDW in the future and not rent a car. We don't like relying completely on the WDW bus service while there....a car just seems more convenient for us. So for us, we would recommend POR, and renting a car while there.
