We usually stay in an Epcot hotel.What is you preference and why? I was leaning towards CS or CBR but I can be swayed in another direction. CS has a direct bus to the Boardwalk which I like but many people think CBR is very attractive. Is one better at Christmas...is one better in March? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

You will get a lot of different opinions here. My husband and I would say CSR for a more grown up feel and POFQ for a small romantic feel.

Also, I do not beleive that the direct bus from CSR to the BW area runs anymore. I know that it ran after 4pm when CSR first opened but I thought they had done away with that sometime ago.

Keep in mind that people are more likely to post a negative visit than a positive one. You will find many people that are very happy with CBR. If you do a search on the DIS you will find many satisfied guests at CBR.

Iv'e decided to stay at either CSR or POFQ or POR. Anyone of these better for Christmas season and or New Years? Anything happening at the resorts themselves for those holidays? Thanks

CSR is decorated beautifully for the holidays.

When it comes to the moderates there's such a range of opinions. I honestly think they are all great (though CSR is the best) and it is merely a matter of personal preference regarding layout and theming.

We were a bit disenchanted with CBR last year. I paid extra for a beach front room and I will never again because we had no idea that you wouldn't be able to get in the water. Another downfall was that the transportation was very slow. It seemed like for every two busses to other resorts there was only one for CBR.

IF we were to stay there again I would request a room close to the kiddie pool and food court. After walking all day in the park who wants to walk a half mile to get a drink refill or cart the kids down to the pool with all the gear and strollers?

We're going to the Swan this year with the RN discount. Hopefully it will be nice.
