I don't believe there is any bus sharing currently...they have tinkered with it in the past.
Hi, can you send it to me also? I'd love to learn how to get that good deal at the Poly. Thanks in advance.I sent you a private
curious how you got GF for this price. Website shows nothing under $579.50 (+tax) per night for GF that week.What dates in sept? Look around, I got the GF for $240 a night the first week in September. It's slightly over, but skip a snack each a day and it's doable...

POR sometimes does share with POFQ. We were there in Jan and we did share buses a couple of times mid day.
Technically they call them the same "resort"...but at 3,000 rooms that was always a stretch. They never should have changed the names.
Same with all star...but that creates a lot of logistical inefficiency.
They consolidated a lot of the hotel staffing into groups Circa 2002...in the future they may do it even more or just bite the bullet and outsource hotel operations all together
Yes, I preferred Dixie Landings as the name for POR, as well. That was when they closed the TS restaurant at POFQ. I always thought that by calling them one resort, they were trying to get away with fewer amenities at POFQ and still be able to call it a moderate resort instead of value.
I found great rates through my travel agent. I am sorry, I am not allowed to name them or discuss how to find them. Discounts are available, just do some searching
Wow! That's great! I Qualify for multiple Disney discounts and I have never been able to find any significant discounts like that.
Just wondering how POR is Disney in your face? I've never thought so and have stayed several times.For our family, I'd do Coronado Springs. We were just there and we REALLY liked it there. I will say, it is not a resort that is "Disney in your face" like others can be, and honestly we were fine with that. What we really liked about it (and was high on our list of priorities) was that it does not share buses with any other resort to go to parks and Disney Springs. I kept notes while we were there....6 minutes to HS and AK and EP, 17 minutes to MK. I requested (and we did get it), to be in Casitas 4, which is next to the first bus stop for going to the parks. We also liked the Pepper Market for breakfast (which we only used 2 times out of our 9 night stay). Microwaves are available on a first come, first serve basis.
I've heard good things about POR and from what I've seen in pictures, they are more "Disney in your face". I do not know if that resort shares park buses, but for some reason my brain is saying it doesn't. So, those would be my 2 choices for that price range.
In all reality, how much time are you going to spend in your room or at the resort? If you are going to be mostly at the parks, I don't think I'd be too picky about where you want to stay.

POR & Pofq only share during non peak times, like mid day, but park opening & closing they don't share.
I've seen pictures of their rooms and see that they have pictures from movies on the walls above the beds. We were going on our first trip and I knew my hubby would tolerate Disney, but I wanted to make sure that the resort we stayed at didn't have Disney everywhere we looked. I realize to alot of people, POR is not Disney in your face, and compared to other resorts, it's not. But to be in a room with a large movie scene on the headboard or pictures on the wall was not going to work. That is why we chose CSR. It would give my hubby a much needed break from all things Disney if he needed it. Now that we've done Disney once and I know hubby enjoyed it, we would try POR and I think it would be just fine. We are just a family that likes to give our senses a break.
