Stick with CSR or twist to POFQ?

Currently booked to stay at CSR next year but I'm thinking it may not be Disney enough for my daughter.
For those that have been to either resorts (or both) can you please give me pros and negatives?

if you're talking Disney themeing, there is no comparison in my opinion. POFQ grounds and pool area are super-Disney-themed (sooo cute

.

CSR, as far as I can tell from the many vlogs and videos I've watched of the public areas and grounds, isn't Disney-themed, and has a generally more grown-up feel to it.

Totally agree SK.

If you want Disney then CSR is not the moderate for you.

We have done the �ports� and they are lovely

I haven't stayed at CSR but stayed at POFQ last year and fell in love with it. This year's a bucket list stay at Beach Club but next year onwards it'll always be POFQ. I've booked POFQ for next September

It's very small, great fun theming, love the pool, big food court with a lot of choice. I had the jambalaya there most evenings last year

Thanks everyone. My first choice was always POFQ however CSR was much cheaper, Riverside is coming in at a good price though, ah decisions decisions!

I have stayed at both, and both me and OH love Coronado! James was 2 when we went and it was Disney enough for us

I've enquired about switching and now waiting for Virgin to hear back from Disney, something about opening the booking again if Disney allow. If the price is right I will swap to POFQ but if not then it's fine, CSR still looks good.

POFQ or PORS are fantastic. FQ is small, but amazing and the best rated moderate for a reason.
Disney will allow changes for free if something is available and the same price or more. They may charge you �50pp if the overall price goes down.
If Virgin say otherwise, then either ask for a supervisor or call back. The only reason is no availability, but remember, thats availability for POFQ on the free dinning plan, not on any other offer, and FQ usually sells out fast. Doesnt mean you cant try again in a month or 2.

This is great thank you, they haven't any of the standard rooms but the garden view is available so I'm hoping they come back with a decent price. If they dont I will, like you say, check again in a month or so.
I appreciate the advice and will make a note of it.

I've changed to POFQ! No charges and Virgin were very helpful, had a lovely woman that sorted it for me. Very happy!
