What Moderate resort do I choose

[jujube]

Jujube, it is Cabanas 8A and B; Casitas are 1,2 3,4 and 5

Thank-you for the correction.
I also meant to tell the OP that we loved Casitas 5A

If choosing POFQ due to the "one" bus stop - keep one thing in mind. The bus also goes throughout POR after it picks up FQ - so you are on the bus for a loooong time before you even get out to the main road.

We only stayed at FQ once due to this. If sharing buses, therefore combining with POR, it's now a BIG resort. The wait might be good, you do get a seat, but you have to circle the entire POR.

We've stayed at POR, POFQ, and CSR for moderates. I like CSR the best. The beds really are comfortable, the grounds are lovely, and the pool slide is great. It is very spread out, but we always rent a car so this isn't an issue for us.

These are the resorts we have stayed at too and I agree 100% with your assessment.

Thank you all so much for all the information it looks like I have two spots to look at. This is the first time I have had so many people respond and I think you so much.

Let it be known that both times I went to these were during Jersey weeks in Nov.

CSR- Resort Grounds: The theming here is really nice. All 3 areas are unique to its section and very well maintained. A nice walk around the whole resort is roughly 15-20 minutes or so.

POR- Resort Grounds: The theming here is also very nice. Just a little different. Southern feel. Both gorgeous grounds though. I'd say just a tad longer to walk around the grounds, but a pleasant stroll again.

CSR- Rooms: Stayed in Casitas 4 which had renovated rooms & was a perfect location. Queen Size beds too.

POR- Rooms: Stayed in Magnolia Mansions. Also Beautifully redone, w/ queen size beds as well.

CSR- Pool The main Pool is awesome. Really nice slide. Plenty of lifeguards on duty. Never Ever,ever crowded. I think the most amount of people there while we stayed was maybe 20. The quieter pools are very nice too.

POR- Pool: This Pool Is very nice as well. Slide is just a tad smaller than CSR but equally nice. the pool always had plenty of people around , but never felt like overcrowded. You always had plenty of chaise loungers to sit at. a lot more kids it seemed too. quieter pools were just that very quiet..

CSR- Food Court: aka. pepper market. I know not many people like the idea of being escorted to you seat, but literally u wait maybe 5 secs, honestly. Never is it packed, the market itself has a nice array of food too. A small gratuity ( maybe $5 ) should cover your server.

POR- Food Court: Although the food selections here are awesome, the way it's set up is like the values. And yes the seating area is bigger, It was always busy, no matter what time of day. Mornings are Chaotic though. Worse lines here than the darn parks...LoL

CSR- Bus Service: The best hands down: Although there are multiple stops, It seems most people grab it at the main one, to go to the parks. Never di we wait for more than 1 bus which were sooo frequent. NEVER did we have to come close to standing either, Going to the parks or returning..

POR- Bus Service: This one was just Eh. Imho. At least heading out to the parks in the morning. I think we waited for an extra bus 3 days going to parks. Coming back from DTD we waited for 3 buses, & forget coming back from Fantasmic. That was like 7 buses... But when we do return, the west stop ( i think) was very close to our mansion, which was nice.
Also POR, Has the Boat ride to DTD, which is a pleasant ride & convenient.

I didn't eat at either of the 2 TS restaurants here, but have heard very good things about both. Also POFQ is just a smaller version of POR, but the New Orleans theming & closer feel, just didn't do it for me. Also the pool is a lil on the kiddish side. CBR I'm just not a big fan of. Layout, Theming, buses. The pool is good though. If I want to get a tropical theme ,then I'll go to the islands, not here. Thats just my $.02. Sorry. Don't mean to offend all of the CBR lovers

My suggestion, ( although its a hard one ) would probably got to CSR. It's a convention hotel , so it's never too crowded.

Either one you pick I'm sure you won't be disappointed.. Have a fun time choosing and once again...Sorry for Rambling here. LoL

I've stayed at CBR several times and it is my favorite. We stayed at CSR last year and while it wasn't terrible, it just wasn't for me. The kids did like the slide. There was a big convention going on at the time but the resort is big enough that it wasn't that big of a deal. I love the beach feel of CBR. It is a good relaxing feeling for me after a busy day at the park!! As for the beds...I passed out so hard at night...I honestly didn't notice whether CSR beds were more comfy that the ones at CBR!! OOps! Enjoy whichever resort you choose!!
