I feel the other three mods (CSR, CBR, POR) are all overly large. Let's face it, of the 4 mods, only POFQ has a single bus stop while the other three have 4 and that alone should alert you to how spread out they all are. At CBR and POR our rooms were on the opposite side of the property from the main building while at CSR, we were in the first group of buildings to the left of the main building (building 2).
The downside of POFQ is that they don't have a sit down restaurant.

Re: Favorite moderate?

I remember the old days when POFQ DID have a sit-down restaurant...and it was pretty good too. Ah well, things change. I'd still prefer POFQ over the others - although the rest of my family would vote for POR.

Mine is New Orleans- Riverside. It has the best food court, and a OK sit down resturant.I love the grounds and the activities too. In the French Quarter there are streams that really smell bad. Espcially on really hot days!
We tried the Coronado this past March and really liked the main pool area the slide was a huge hit w/ my daughter, but the food was not!! You must love Mexican/Southwestern style food I do, but most of our family didn't, so lots of whinning on that!!
Good luck!! robyn

Nothing that has 2,000 rooms could ever be mistaken for small.

Re: Favorite moderate?

sorry to differ but the fact that it has six pools ....and especially the fact that you can hide somewhere and feel like it is small ....the lounge although small is a lot of fun especially the entertainment ,the fact that you have the food court manager and others there remember your name and take an interest in you and yours ..then that is small....the rooms don't make a place it is the atmosphere and ambiance ...but like I said sorry to differ.......

Re: Favorite moderate?

Our fav is POFQ. Our close second would be POR in the Bayou section. CS and CBR (pirate room) is a tie for third.

Re: Favorite moderate?

think i may have already voted, but I love the CBR b/c of the island theme. . . though I think we might try POR- French Quarter this year - last time we stayed at POR-riverside - it was called Dixie Landings! And, really liked the food court.

Re: Favorite moderate?

my fave will always be POR for the moderate. Esp the Magnolia bend side. Yes it's a big resort but it never feels crowded at all. Lots of smaller pools surrounding it, lots of bus stops and a big food court. The only time this was ever crowded was during the uk summer hols in August, this was all due to the free dining giveaway. Other than this, no troubles

Re: Favorite moderate?

CSR and POR top my list.

POR has been beautiful and quiet on all my stays. Lovely views and the boat ride to DTD is very scenic and relaxing.

CSR has gorgeous buildings and landscaping. The only issue I've ever had with the size of CSR is a longer walk to the big Dig Site pool. There was a quiet pool right next to our building, so we didn't HAVE to walk all the way to the big pool... but I love sitting under that pyramid waterfall.
