Which Moderate and why
Hi all
I am looking into all my options this year. I'd love to see a vote on the Moderates, and why you picked that one. Thanks!!

Re: Which Moderate and why
I like POFQ for the small size. No matter where your room is you are close to everything.

Re: Which Moderate and why
I'm going to POFQ in July for the first time, for its size and atmosphere. Everything I've heard about it makes it my choice among the moderates.

Re: Which Moderate and why
I have stayed at both the CBR and CSR and although they are both beautiful resorts they are HUGE!! I keep hearing what a nice, quiet, small resort the POFQ is and I've seen the resort pictures on allears.net so even though I haven't stayed there (yet!!) my vote goes to POFQ.

Re: Which Moderate and why
POFQ hands down. They are all nice, but POFQ is small, very quaint. You do share a bus stop with POR (still Dixie's Landing to us), but you are the first stop on most of the runs, so seating is not bad. The food court is good, and the pool is nice. POR and POFQ also share boat transportation to / from DtD, which is very convenient. CBR and CSR are nice, but just too big and spread out for us.

Re: Which Moderate and why
We have stayed at POR and CBR, and we enjoyed both very much. POR is a family fave and we continue to go back to wallow in its greatness...
However, we have been to POFQ, and it is absolutely terrific. When you stay at one PO resort, you can enjoy both of them, which is a nice treat. Great boat service to DTD, and we enjoy the bus service. CBR puts you in teh tropical vacation mood as soon as you pull in. We stayed in the Jamaica buildings, which was perfect. We have visited family at CSR, and we found the resort and the restaurants were not to our liking, though it has a lot of fans.

Re: Which Moderate and why
I'am a CSR guy, but I have also stayed at POFQ and understand why more people pick it.

Re: Which Moderate and why
We like PORR because mainly of it size. The Alligator Bayou is quiet at night and when you stroll thru the area you feel that you are in the bayou with all the cricket cripping. Even through it beening fed thru speakers. There are more things to do there than there are at POFQ. We love strolling around the resort at night.

Re: Which Moderate and why
French Quarter is only around 1000 rooms while the other three are all over 2000 rooms. The downside to French Quarter is that they share all of their buses except Magic Kingdom with Riverside but at least you're the first stop when you return, except for the DTD bus which runs the 4 Riverside stops first and then does French Quarter. Also, currently French Quarter does not have a table service restaurant, only the food court.
