We are working on plans for our October/November 2025 trip. We will be a family of five, with a 7 year old, 4 year old and 6 month old.
Right now, we are booked at the Beach Club with a BB offer for 6 nights. I am thinking of switching resorts to POR - even at rack rate, the pricing right now is coming out similar and if any future discounts apply, it would likely be less. Given that we will be traveling with a baby, we are planning for a slower trip with more resort and pool time.
Pros of BC?
Pros of POR?
If you were the planner, which would you choose? I'm also thinking of POFQ to improve the transportation/busing situation but we love the theming and food court at POR.

Pros of BC?
- Definitely convenience! It would be great to be able to walk to two different parks without folding a double stroller. Also so nice not to worry about waiting for Disney buses with little ones.
- The pool. We have stayed at the BC in the past and the kids absolutely loved the sand bottom area. It really made the trip feel like a vacation.
- Skyliner! Our kids also love the Skyliner and on our last trip we had to make a number of special visits just to ride it around.
Pros of POR?
- A longer stay means the ability to plan resort days in between park days and this would be great for everyone's energy and stress levels.
- Food court! We definitely prefer CS over TS with the kids' ages and POR has a fantastic food court.
- Nostalgia. POR was the first resort we ever stayed at and we have great memories.
