Okay, I finally have it narrowed down between these two parks. There are 5 of us going (one under 3), so we'll either stay at Port Orleans Riverside Alligator Bayou bldg (which has the extra trundle bed) OR we'll stay at Carribean Beach and have someone campout on the floor, which isn't a big deal, really.
I have read that Carribean Beach is a little bit rundown and showing it's age, and that it is too big. However, I love the idea of the 'beach' but is it truly a beachy atmosphere, and will the water be warm enough in mid-October?
I love the reviews the PortOrleans resort is getting, but keep going back to the "beachy" love of mine. But I don't know which has the more elaborate pool areas, playground, etc. I would like to spend at least all of one day just hanging around the resort and avoiding the parks - where is the best place to do that with a 2, 4 and 13 year old?
On another note, I read another discussion going on about going during Columbus weekend and it was referred to as a nightmare... wahhh!! Is this really true? I didn't even realize that's when we were planning for. We're going the Tuesday before Col weekend and coming home the Tuesday after Columbus day. Is this a mistake - we hate crowds and long lines.
Thanks DAnielle
