My favorite is POR. I've stayed there, POFQ, and CSR. My favorite
things about POR are the pool, the food court, and the beauty of the
landscaping. That resort feels very peaceful and comfortable to me.
The 4 bus stops make it easy to get a room near one.

POFQ is as nice and attractive but not as large. You have to walk over
to POR to get some amenities like bike rental, playground, fishing,
table service restaurant, and horse-drawn carriage rides. Not a problem
if you don't care about those things. I don't like the food court there
nearly as much as the one at POR. And with just one bus stop for the
whole resort, it might end up being a hike for you depending on what
room you get. But it's easy to request something near the main
building.

At least in years past, the bus service downside for both POR and POFQ
is that their stops at the parks are often the furthest down the line.

My favorite thing about CSR is, like POR, it's beautifully landscaped.
The pool is nice and has a good water slide. And the hot tub there is
huge. The playground is quite different and my kids thought it was
pretty great. The downside to the pool is that the deck isn't very
shaded, meaning it can get quite hot. The playground has a water mister
spray going during the hot part of the day. Because it houses
convention facilities, the resort has amenities you can't find at other
moderates, like workout facilities.

(Some people don't care at all about the fact that it's also a
convention hotel, but seeing conventioneers at the hotel sort of blows
the fantasy of being enveloped in Disney for me. We stayed in the
Cabanas, not where conventioneers usually stay, so we only saw them at
the main building, but I did see a few instances of people behaving as
though they were not in the Disney vacation frame of mind. Saw one
woman loudly argue with and complain to a front desk CM because there
wasn't a Burger King at the hotel.)

I'm not a huge fan of CSR's food court, but I find it acceptable. I've
never eaten at the table service place because I'd heard it wasn't very
good. We never took the buses during our stay at CSR, so I can't
comment there.

Hope some of this was helpful!

attention abbreviation malfunction
I typed CBR andit should have been Coranado springs and pepper market with
the gratuity for quick serve.

CBR on at least 20 visits.
Always pleasant and lush.
Love the footbridge to OPR.
Love to rent bikes and boats
Love to walk it and run it.

Tried Coronado but it didn't have the "feel". It was like the CBR in the desert.
