Pop or Carribean Beach

I’ve always like Caribbean Beach. There or Port Orleans Riverside is usually my go to
I feel like a lot of people prefer FQ but for some reason, Riverside is my jam
Not really. It is a 3 minute trip from POP to CBR via the skyliner and other than at rope drop, there is rarely a line to get on. Even then it doesn't take long for the line to move.
Obviously with CBR being the hub, it will be a little more efficient, especially if your room is closer to the hub.

Just depends, for me from pop it was 15 minutes of waiting just to get to CBR and then another 20 or 30 just to get onto the gondola to the park.
I'll be honest, I am in the same boat but substitute All Star Movies and CBR. I hold CBR in a fond place in my heart and it is such a nice resort, but looking at the current rates, it will be about $1000 more for me to stay at CBR vs. ASM. I am hoping for some great discounts which may put it closer to the ASM rack rates, but time will only tell.
Yes, I am hoping for discounts too but I booked to get the reservation. We are going the last week of October and there is usually no discounts then.
My niece, who is meeting me, is from Tampa and we are hoping for a Florida Discount!
I actually did the same thing. I recently changed the reservation from ASM to CBR to have the reservation and not need to worry. I am comfortable with the rack rates and if I get a discount great. I have never been more anxious for Disney to release a discount. Trying to continue browsing the Disney website in the event they release pin codes.
I switched to CB from Pop, but I really want them to open up Port Orleans Riverside. Ill make the switch to that if they do. Caribbean Beach isn’t a bad back up though

I think POP is really nice so just my personal preference is I would spend that extra $$$ on other things. I am one to not spend a ton of time at the resorts either and spend my time in the parks.
Just keep an eye out for the Gators on the beach!!!!
Valid but isn’t the water blocked off since the incident at MK a few years ago?

I LOVE Caribbean Beach but it is more expensive and it is a really big resort compared to others. However you do get the sky liner. Pop Century is great too. It’s in a good location and it’s higher quality value resort. However, it could definitely use a face lift. I would introduce a third option and go with Art of Animation. The price point is right between these two and it has some newer amenities and facilities.
