Some new information. I'm going to Disney again October 30 -November 7 with my boyfriend, so I have purchased the annual pass. The annual pass rate difference between Poly and Pop is $1700. My boyfriend and I no doubt will stay at Port Orleans Riverside. It is his favorite resort.
My kids and I have always appreciated the beauty of resorts. The walkways, the trees, flowers, whatever the case may be. We chose all star music in the past because it has some trees. That being said when we stayed at the animation suites in the cars area, we felt like it was just a big slab of cement. That was in August of 2016. Being at Disney in August requires a great place to hang out in the middle of the day. We like the pools, but especially the quiet pools. We love shade. Remember we are from Minnesota. We wilt.
I don’t think getting 2 rooms at Pop is necessary. I’d be too worried they wouldn’t be together.
