Whats your fave Moderate Hotela nd why???

[NHBelle]

We have graduated from the all stars to deluxes over the years, but this year we are back on a tight budget and am trying to plan a trip in late August to take advantage of the Dining pkg. My question is that its been a while since we stayed at a moderate resort. We know we did not like the Carribean Beach (way too big) and we have also stayed at POFQ, which we did like, so should we just stay there again or try POR or CS??? (just to get an idea of what we like our fave resort is AKL). Any suggestions would be appreciated. ( Oh all stars are out, rooms are just to small for fam of 5....2 adults 3 kids ages 1, 5 and 9) Thanks again!!!!

I'm a big fan of the POFQ because it is a lot smaller than the other moderate resorts. Even the most remote rooms are only about a 5-7 minute walk to the food court and bus stop. I like the atmosphere there--it's so vibrant and whimsical. The boat ride to Downtown Disney is nice, too. It seems so peaceful there--I often feel like I have the resort to myself when I'm walking around it.

I am a big CSR fan-amazing theming, beautiful grounds, best themed pool and food court, clean comfortable rooms, great bus system, friendly cms, and it is in a good location-not too far from anywhere.
CBR is our second favorite for its fun tropical theme!

We just took our 8th trip to CSR and we still love it just as much as our first time back in 1998.

IN THE MIDDLE
The Pepper Market is either a love it or hate it place. We love it but some folks just don't care for it.

Convention resort - some guests don't like seeing other guests at work. Doesn't bother us and helps keep the buses empty. GF, Cont, BW, Y & B Club are also convention resorts.

I usually choose Coronado when booking a moderate resort. I like the themeing and colors there. It's a large resort, so if you are not in one of the buildings close to the main check in area you have a bit of a hike to get there.
