Go with the best, Port orleans. It has a unique theme and a nice food court with a great looking lobby!

Port Orleans-French Quarter. The resort is great and just got a little rehab when it was closed. It is small (1008 rooms) so you never have a far walk to anywere. We stayed there and loved it...DEFINATELY TRY IT.

If you need any more info. Private Message me...I will be glad to help.

If you can try to stay at the Port Orleans French Quarter. It's a small resort so basically all the rooms are close to the lobby, food court and boat service to Downtown Disney. All of the rooms have either a nice pool/river or garden view, and the French-style architecture is quite nice. Coronado Springs is also a very nice resort, but depending on your room you could be far away from the lobby and/or the pool. They offer an internal bus service, but that just takes time away from your vacation. Also remember that Port Orleans is more in the middle of the WDW action, so your bus travel times should be a little quicker (in theory) than from Coronado Springs.

I guess I am the only one here who likes the Coronado Springs Resort. The pool is the best part.

I'd go with Port Orleans over Coronado every day of the week....

I think you should be choosing between French Quarter and Riverside.....

Don't get me wrong I do like Riverside and stayed there back when it was Dixie Landings. If you choose between the two Port Orleans resorts, choose Riverside.

Coronado....but the food court stinks.. at least it did when i stayed there in 1997

I would have to go with Cornado Springs. I love the food court, especially their wet burritos:slurp:. The pool there is really cool also. I love the beneits at Port Orleans though!

No contest, Port Orleans all the way!!!!!
The Coronado food court is still lousy (went in February), in all aspects. As others have posted, the "magic" just doesn't live at the Coronado food court. It's the only Disney restraunt (or anything else) that the employees were just not happy. They never smiled.
Go to POR!

Guru....we are right....PO is PU.... The place is my favorite....I grew up in the southwest....I realy like the pool....slide and hot tub.....the main thing is a feeling that you are in the park but not "in" the park.... plus it is an easy in and out.... We like to eat on 192 at Outback and in the AM.... It is a 1/4 mile to Mc D's. I go get the girls the Big Breakfast....it is cheaper. I like CS so much that I chose it for my screen name

I agree. I love the pool. The theme of the resort is great. So what if the food is not so great, you are at WDW, go some place else to eat.
