Just out of interest, were you pleased with POR? I don't want to chance CBR with its refurbishments - I've reasearched POR and I think it will suit our needs.

I spoke to kenwood and my magic holiday and both were more expensive for 14 night stay with tickets and ddp (exclusive of flights).

Am I missing something as i assumed booking direct would be cheapest?

Topcashback have 4% off but the offer ends tonight for Disney direct bookings

I've booked with Charter before but wanted to do DIY this time. I asked for accommodation only and they said no. Depends on who you book with I think. Orlando Attractions will be cheaper I reckon. Booked with them for this May.

We've done 2 accommodation/free dining only holidays with them (on the second now) and they're great. I'd highly recommend them. If you find it cheaper elsewhere, it's worth asking if they can match the price. I like booking with them as they offer such great customer service too

Used OA twice - cheaper than Disney, great service, deposit and no cr card fees.

Yes really pleased, such a beautiful resort. Great food court. We were in a block closest to the rear of the complex but right next to a quiet pool. We loved it here easy to get to the buses and we actually enjoyed the 10 minute stroll to the food court. Fab entertainment in in the bar. Loved the boat to Disney springs for a night out.

I want to try a different resort for our next visit but DH and DD's would happily go to POR again.

I got a quote from OA and they were £163 cheaper for me than booking direct with Disney. But booking direct with Disney through Quidco means cash back of nearly £100 so I've booked direct with Disney through Quidco since the difference is bearable for me

I emailed OA last Thursday, heard nothing, decided to ring this morning, Tony said that hopefully I'll get my quote either today or tomorrow. They're running a few days behind because of the volume of enquiries they've had! I'm happy to wait, as long as it's cheaper than Disney, then I'll book with them. As Vickie said, they give a great service.

Thanks for the reply. Last year at CBR we really enjoyed our evenings lazing by the bar area. Youngest DS and I played/swam in the pool on and off all evening whislt DH and eldest DS enjoyed a few beers! Is that something that we can still do at POR? I've looked on YouTube and I can't tell if there is seating at the pool bar.
