No. I like Carib Bch, but I can think of a lot better use of $700, mostly food

You have to ask yourself how much time do you spend at the resort, if all your time is in the park and just sleeping at the resort an extra 700 bucks can go along way towards other things.

It totally depends. My husband and I love to spend time at the resorts so I would choose CB but for most people POP would be perfect!

It depends on your group/family size. Caribbean gives you slightly larger space, I believe double beds in Pop vs. queens in Caribbean. Also, Caribbean gives you a sit-down restaurant option, and a more formal lounge. As our kids became teenagers, we found the value resorts to be a little too cramped when it came to sleeping arrangements, and the moderates a little more accommodating. Also, on an extended trip, claustrophobia started to set in with the values 
. If it was just my wife and I, the values were ok.

It would depend on how long of stay. If this is $700 for less then a week I wouldn't do it, but if this is for 10 days or more I'd pay the extra. I love the corner rooms in CBR with the extra window and the extra food options and better pool would be worth it on a long trip. A week of non stop park hopping, give me the cheapest bed you can.

I'd vote Pop. We recently stayed at Pop for the first time and it quickly became a favorite for us. The money saved would be worth it for us.

No. 700.00 is too much. POP is a great resort.

Just think what an extra 700 dollars could buy-- 100 WDW soft pretzels-- ~123 Mickey bars-- ~140 Dole wipes--~170 bottles of water
Back to this decision again. I have booked Pop many times but always upgraded to another room. This time it would be $533 more.
It is my niece and I for 4 nights. We are thinking about CB because it is the skyliner hub, larger room, & easy access to Riviera for lunch or dinner. Also, we would probably use the skyliner a lot just to bum around.
This is for a trip in late October, so will probably be busy for the 50th.

I just changed over my reservation today to Caribbean Beach from POP... I love them both, but I am hoping Port Orleans Riverside opens up before my December trip, if not, Caribbean Beach it is... I tend to stay at POP for quicker trips or when im pairing WDW with a cruise

I understand saving money, but I love walking the grounds at CBR in the late night or early morning, sitting on a bench, and enjoying the theming and island music background. CBR would be my choice. Pop is nice, but a people machine. CBR is a bit more spaced out and not as crowded, if that makes sense. More room to spread out. Pool is amazing.

Just want to point out that normally, 170 bottles of water costs at Walmart: $4 per 40 pack, so about $17.

CBR looks a lot fancier, like you really are in the Caribbean without bothering to go there, with beaches and quiet pools and shorter gondola trips. Pop is a value and look it. But be careful that the CBR pirate rooms only have double beds, whereas Pop rooms now have 2 queen beds. CBR buses take longer, being that they have to go around the hotel. Pop buses are more direct. And of course, with the Skyliner, you can just fly over to eat at CBR's restaurants, or walk across the bridge to eat at AofA's food court. CBR's food court used to be pretty bad before the remodeling. Afterwards, it was worse.
