Pop Century or Coranado Springs?

I see that you already made your choice, but just wanted to add my thoughts. On our last trip, we were definitely on a strict budget, so I really was torn between a value to save money or a moderate for a more "luxurious" stay. For the amount of money we would be saving, it just didn't seem worth it and we chose CSR. We were lucky enough to get a free dining offer as well. Hands down, the best choice we made for our vacation. I'm a penny pincher and I just don't see myself ever staying at a Value resort. The savings just isn't worth what you give up. I'll probably never stay in a Deluxe either, because I can't justify the expense when I can get the opportunity to stay in a gorgeous Moderate with everything I need and then some.

Great choice! You will be glad you chose CSR.

I am the same exact way with staying in a Moderate at the extra cost.. it is like a mini deluxe to me with all that they offer. POR and POFQ are like my home away from home. I just love them both. This year the only reason I am staying at Pop is because my sister loves it there and was only gonna go if we stayed at Pop and saved money. I will never stay at a deluxe (except maybe WL) because the prices are just rediculously too high! I can't get over how overpriced they are, but that's a different topic.

Try to get in a building close to the main building. The pool isn't a bad walk from there and then the bus stop won't be far off.

For us, the Pepper Market has been the best resort dining location. There are so many choices and all the food was amazing. We really missed it when we stayed at the GF last year.

Id go pop every time over any moderate.. sure the theming is nice at a moderate and its a kick to be in a princess room for example but the moderates are just way to spread out for me. I've tried them.. but waiting for your bus to stop at like 5 spots before yours at the end of the night is a drag. It's all about transportation and convenience to me. The Pop is one stop and boom your there.. and if you pay for preferred there its one stop and boom your at your room! Also it's nice to be able to just walk from your room to the food court or arcade in like 1 minute instead of a 10-15 minute journey. The pop century always has a nice happy disney vibe going on too.. love it!

I find waiting on an air-conditioned bus for 5 stops to be more tolerable than standing in a queue line in the blazing sun or pouring rain for 30 minutes while the 3 bus loads-worth of people in front of you get on buses.

I HATE the bus situation at Pop. Having only 1 stop is the only benefit.
