Mobile POFQ or cheaper OKW studio

First time staying on site. Already booked French Quarter for next Aug with upgrade to DDP and was happy with the decision. However, an Old Key West studio is now available at £260 cheaper direct with Disney ( we are with Charter but probably be similar price difference I guess, not checked yet ).

Any thoughts! We are a family of 4, kids 9 and 13.

Cheers

Check Charters T&Cs as sometimes the saving can be swallowed up in amendment/cancellation fees. I haven't stayed at either but didn't want to read and run

To be honest my gut feeling is to stay with POFQ as it ticks all the boxes I think. Or am I wrong!

I’ve stayed At Okw twice and the studios are bigger rooms if you want more Space however I know FQ is smaller and more intimate
OKW doesn’t have a foid court
It depends what your priorities are - I would go for OKW if i had that choice for the bigger room
Also check what charter would charge you to cancel?

:thumbs- We have just changed our three room at French Quarter for 3 Deluxe studios at OKW ,for the same reason the rooms are so much bigger . I have been ringing Disney for the past two weeks trying to get 2 x 2 Bedroomed villas but so far still nothing available for our dates , but I will keep trying

£260 cheaper, even if they were the same price I would change.
Moderate to Deluxe hotel for the same money, easy decision.
Bigger rooms, better location.

Saw this and thought it looked interesting so went on to Disney to check the prices for our 10 days next summer. £16,500!

Er, no maybe not.

YIKES! Perhaps that was for a Villa rather than a Studio?
