Arggg...I wish July would get here already so I would stop thinking about this trip and stop changing my mind. We were originally planning to stay 7 nights at GF but then decided to do 3 nights ASMO and then 5 nights GF with AAA discount. We couldn't get the AAA discount for ASMO so we are paying rack rate.

I got to thinking...a moderate with AAA discount is not much more than rack rate at ASMO...so we're thinking of switching.

We've already stayed at CBR and didn't care for it. So there's CSR and POR left for moderates. Which one would you suggest. It will be me, my mother, and my DDs (3 and 4).

Thanks.
 
I have changed my package 4 times. Originally went for CSR, then changed to Wl, then split stay between WL and Poly, then called TA and wanted to add dining on and she suggested we stay at POR. I went to allearsnet.com and viewed their slide show Of POR and we decided to go with it. CSR just seems a little spread out and we're travelling with young children. So that's why we went with POR. Hope that helps.
 
I did the same thing - went from Contemporary (the bedspread pictures made me crazy) to Fort Wilderness cabins - our old tried and true resort- then saw pictures of Coronado that spoke to me.The great thing is my trip was less expensive with different discounts that became available.The trip(room only) went from 1500+ at CR to 1215.at FW-now with pin code we have 2 connecting rooms @CSR for 800+!! :cheer2: :cheer2: Hope your trip turns out great!
 
When my daughters were young they loved the pool slide at POFQ, and the resort is very easy to get around.
We also love POR :goodvibes
 

I haven't done any of the moderates, but I loved ASMo. It's very well themed and a lot of fun. Just enjloy it.
 
I'd say stick with ASMo. Your daughters will love the theming. Especially if you ask for the Toy Story section. Between the buildings it looks like Timmy's Bedroom (I think thats the right name, LOL its been awhile since I saw the movie). My 4 yr old great nephew loved it. Plus POR and CSR are very spread out. Not sure you want to do more walking then you have to.

Check out this site and it will show you some great pics of the resorts and the resort layout. Plus you can check out the menu of all Disney restaurants.

I think POR is the nicest of the moderates - and there is a lot to do there. There are also the boats to DTD. The River Roost Lounge has the Bob Jackson show which has great entertainment for kids. THat's what I would go for.

I'm having the same problems. We originally booked 2 nights at Nick, 15 nights at Gf. Then we changed to 2 nights at Nick, 11 nights at GF, and 4 nights at YC. Now I'm having second thoughts on YC since Stormalong Bay, while great, may be too much for my children at their ages. SO now I'm thinking do I stay at GF the whole time - switch to AKL or WL for a different theme, switch over to Poly to still be close to MK, or should I save some money and spend four nights at POR? Decisions will make you crazy. We're also going in July and I have to make up my mind because it's almost time to make my PS! Let me know what you decide. We should run into each other at GF.
