Hi All!

We are here, having an awesome time at Disney. We are thinking about booking the bounce-back for next year, and I need some advice: what is the best pool (other than Stormalong Bay)?

We LOVE POFQ, but it is blocked from the discount. We are really enjoying the cabins at FW, but I hate the crazy shallow pool.

So, out of the moderates or values, which one has the best pool? Any with a decent "deeper" section?

Thanks,
Heather

Well, we have little ones, so the splash pool area at CBR was perfect for us. And I'll have to say I was impressed by the resort as a whole- our room looked alot like the Poly rooms, for much less. My hubby tried out the fort slide at the big pool, and really had a blast. I would definitely stay there again for the pools alone. My favorite pool area is AKL, but for moderates I thought CBR was pretty awesome.

Coronado and CBR both were great pool experiences.

You say FQ is blocked for the discount, but is Riverside? Then you could still use FQ pool if you want.

Depending on your room at CS you may have to walk a mile .... I'd pick Riverside. 'Ol Man River is a very nice pool and if it's crazy crowded, then you could pick one of the other quiet pools to play in .... you have tons of choices at Riverside, then maybe one day walk over to the FQ to use their pool .... enjoy your stay !! Wish I were there ... November bound tho !!

I think Coronado has the nicest pool out of the moderates. It has a Myan ruins theme with a 123' slide.

We like PORS. Is it still the only mod with a hot tub?

All of the moderates have hot tubs.

All of the moderates have hot tubs.

I suppose its been a while...I didn't recall CBC having a hot tub back in '95.

Thanks All! We've booked POR, but I may have to visit Coronado, and check it out for the next visit after the next one. :)
