"BEST" Disney Moderate accomodation?

Well, after saying this year we wouldn't be returning anytime soon, we've decided to book up again for next July.
Never stayed on-site at Disney before so looking for opinions (either way) for their moderate accommodation.
We're sort of rushing things as we'd like to take advantage of the free dining offer that's currently on.
We're a party of 2 adults (ish) and one 14yr old. We have a choice of CBR, CSR, POR-FQ, POR-RS we also have the option of choosing OKW, all for similarish money.
Anyone have any thoughts?

We're staying at POFQ for the first time next year. Pros for us are mainly that it's smaller and a short boat or bus ride to Disney Springs as well as being close to the parks. It also looks really pretty!

I cant say enough good things about Port Orleans Riverside. Have been twice and going back for a third time next year. Just a lovely place. I will Pop a video I took of the Alligator bayou area and there is an unofficial site portorleans that has loads of info and pictures of the resort.
I have also a resort review to the left under the screen name.

I have stayed at POR twice and really loved it. Small pools dotted all around and also a lovely main pool. The food court is one of the best, of the moderates, if not the best. It never seemed crowded at all, it was very peaceful. We stayed in the Aligatour Bayou section preferred room, which was only a few minutes to the main food court and bus stop. We are going in 2018 and going to stay in POFQ, the sister resort to POR, only because we wanted to try another moderate. Another good reason to choose one of these hotels is you can use the swimming pools at both these resorts. I don't feel, you would go wrong with either POR or POFQ. Good luck on deciding.

We stayed at POR in April and absolutely loved it. Would have booked for next year too but we're on a tighter budget so are trying CBR instead

POR for sure is the best! In fact sat at Gatwick premier inn waiting to go back "Home" to POR tomorrow. Can't wait.

Same as lovestoplan, we love POR stayed there twice but booked cbr for next year due to price. POR is a beautiful resort. very relaxing, lovely quiet pools and fantastic food court. Hoping we like cbr as much next year.

We are currently coming to a end to a 12 nights stay at POR, we have love it, we are staying in a room in magnolia terrace. A couple of mins walk to main pool and restaurants. The QS restaurant is good and we have eaten there a few times. Would definitely come back, we have stayed at old key West and love that also but I think I would chose POR if given the choice.

POR is definitely the best moderate out there. So much so the we consider it the same bracket as many deluxe accommodations, just half the price!

We like to stay at GF, Poly, YC & BC yet we have stayed at POR several times and are returning for 3 nights next month too.

We've stayed at CBR twice and it's a lovely resort but are trying POR next year for something new. We really like the look of it and it's so popular there must be a reason!
Our usual "go to" resort is OKW though. We really love it and considered it for next year but want to be trying different Disney resorts rather than going back to the same one all the time. With OKW you get a balcony and a small kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and toaster. It also has small pools dotted about. The only negative is the QS option is poor but if you have a car POR/FQ are nearby.
