So this is the back ground. My husband just started a new job so he is not eligible for any vacation time for a year. I am a teacher so my travel time is limited to Easter week, X-mas and Summer and we hate FL in the summer.
So earlier this year I planned a 9 night trip to WDW for ME, DH, DS 8, DS7, DD5 for Dec. 16-25, 2010. It was to be our 4th trip in 3 years. So we know the place well and I am comfortable going without him. We have free dining on our package.
In the past we have always stayed at POR because it is the only moderate that sleeps 5. I have no desire to stay at a value and deluxes are to expensive. We love POR.
Now that my husband is not going I am thinking about trying a different moderate resort that we could never stay at in the past because we were a family of 5.
These whats important to me in selecting a resort: We are looking at either CBR or CSR.
1. I will be traveling with 3 kids alone so I do not want to have to walk a mile to get a bus - a reasonable walk is fine but 3 tired kids at night by myself would be tough.
2. We will be booking a standard room - no pirate theme - I want to keep the price the same as 4 people at POR.
3. At POR we really enjoy the small pools. When I travel alone with the kids it is easier to have a smaller pool rather than a large pool - to hard to watch 3 kids at once. I would like a small pool closer to the room - I know at POR all the rooms are reasonalble close to a small pool.
4. Good food court - we are on the dining plan so we want a nice one. I know POR has a great one.
Which would you pick for us - CBR or CSR and why.
Thanks everyone for your help.
