CBR vs Artof Animation Little Mermaid room ...

Family of 3 with a little 4 year old princess, and 2 sets of grandparents.

Pros/cons of each? What would you choose?

CBR preferred rooms. CBR is a moderate resort with larger more comfortable rooms, a great pool/water play area for your little princess and a table service restaurant. each room will have two queen beds rather than the two doubles in the AoA. If you get a preferred room you will be close to the themed pool and dining.

AoA LM rooms are quite distant from dining and bus stop. They are cute, but smaller and less comfortable than the rooms in CBR, IMO. AoA has a good food court, but that is it fro dining options.

I would stay at CBR and go visit AoA, if desired, for a meal and a few photo ops.

I agree! We've never stayed at AoA, but we loved everything about CBR and wouldn't hesitate to return as it's a beautiful resort.

CBR! I find the value rooms too small, even for 2 people. Plus the pools are nicer at the moderates IMO.

I'd have to agree with the opinions above, with grandparents and a little one the walk to mermaid rooms will seem long at the end of the day. Our daughter, at about the same age, loved the theme of the room and overall resort at AOA, though. As adults we liked it, but didn't love it, mostly due to the walk and single bus stop. This is one of the reasons we've chosen to stay at moderate resorts with multiple bus stops since then.

I know you only asked about 2, but for the little one, a Royal Room at POR is pretty magical.
