We are booked at POR for september. I just realized this will probably be our last trip before the baby turns 3 and disney counts her. So after that our only option will be POR. So would you stay somewhere else knowing this? Ive stayed at CBR and absolutely loved it. It will be dh, me and 3 kids ages 6, 5, and 2. And as much as i love the values, dh will never stay again bc he hates the busses and bus stops. Thats probably the biggest factor in a resort for him lol So is POR worth it to be our only resort forever after this trip lol
 
Stay where you will enjoy yourselves. If you loved CBR, then stay there again since you won't be able to again with the size of your group.
Buses are a non-issue for me. If a resort has multiple bus stops, within the resort, it's pretty much the same as a resort that is on a route with other resorts. And I have to say that the value resorts have some really good bus service...especiall Pop Century. Now, who knows what will happen once the other half is opened and functioning...guess we'll have to wait and see.
 
Absolutely. You can definately hop on over to the POR thread, but with a new refurbishment under way, I would think the possibility of getting a brand new room in the mansions, before you move over to the AB section would be perfect.
 
POFQ is nice because it is smaller than the other Mods. and you can stroll over to POR to check it out. But you could get a princess room at POR the next time you go your DS will be older & not like a princess room;)

Tough choice. It really depends on what your family prefers. POFQ is all refurb'd now, queen beds, one bus stop(sometimes shares with POR). We recently stayed there again & was super quiet, & boat to DD was awesome. POR has some refurb rooms, but more bus stops. However, CBR has a zero-entry pool, my kids are little & this is a huge plus for our family. Good luck with your choice, any of the three will be amazing! :)
 
personally i would try another one before you cant anymore!

Go back to CBR if you want, or if any of the other resorts seem like something you are interested in go there! but i would definatly try a different one becuase next time you wont be able to and you can go back to the place you know you love and is your only option :)
 
This would be my list..
1. CSR
2. POR
3. POFQ
4. CBR & this is why

1st off: Pool . Each resort's main pool is nice, but the POFQ is a lil bit on the kiddish side. CSR nice theming & never ever crowded at all. POR Very nice as well w/ a nice side crowd during all hours. Same w/ CBR. POR's is nice and close to the main bldg, which is very convenient too. CSR a lil far but worth the beautiful walk.

2nd: Rooms. This fairly even for all. It all depends on your taste. I believe all have updated rooms now. I was fortunate to saty in them for POR & CSR. I loved both. POFQ I didn't stay in for more than a day. CBR never stayed inside.

3rd: Food area. I think by far. CSR Pepper Market. Never a wait to be seated. no more than 15 seconds .honestly. Also they bring u the drinks for a really small tip. (not a big deal) All the others were so darn packed & it really discouraged me. I felt like I was back at the values.

4th: Transportation. CSR definetley gets the nod again. Never once did we wait to or from any park or DTD. The fact that its a convention hotel helps. But Both the POR & POFQ have a nice boat ride to DTD. Bad side is the buses there. LOng long wait, especially from HS Fantasmic show. Both buses returning to the resorts from there were a minimum 7 or 8 buses. CBR felt just about average.

5th: Grounds. All are beautiful. POR & CSR stand out IMHO. CBR is spread out and the theming to me doesnt feel like Disney. Plus main Bldg is no where near anything. Check in area. POFQ is very small. Kinda claustraphobic if you ask me.

Lets put it this way: This is Disney, No matter which you choose, they will make it a magical time regardless. Have fun choosing & enjoy!

My choices would be in almost the same order, except:
1. CSR
2. POFQ
3. PORS
4. CBR

I'd go with CSR because of the nicer main pool (longer slide), biggest hot tub on property, and the much nicer playground for the kids, plus they consistently seem to have better bus service than the other mods. The kids might also like the white sand beaches and hammocks in the Cabanas section. The beds at CSR are also more comfortable.

We like POFQ because of how small it is and the fact that it's the first bus stop, when it shares with PORS (except the DTD bus, which stops at PORS first). We also like the boat to DTD.

PORS is a beautiful resort, but you have the rest of your lives to stay there and once the little one turns 3 y/o you won't have the same options you do now.

CBR is a pretty resort, but we've never been impressed with the housekeeping, buses, or food court.
 
I would go with CSR or POR. I would NOT stay at CBR ever again!

I feel like CSR is the best of the moderates I have stayed!
 
I would totally try another resort while you have the chance...we like CS and had no problem with CBR.
