I like your answer about PORS or Beach Club. How can I choose which one is best? 6 and 3 year old girls. Pool, one kid's club night, good food. 5 nights at Beach or 7 a PORS royal room with water park opt”
Thanks so much for the question and the positive feedback, Alison! I truly believe that your daughters would love both of these amazingly, unique Disney Resorts! I won't lie...Disney's Beach Club Resort is my favorite Resort on property! If you are looking for a Resort with a great pool, amazing dining locations at your fingertips, and a Children's Activity Center onsite (Sandcastle Club), then look no further than the Beach Club Resort.You will have fantastic dining options at the Epcot Resorts and easy access to the World Showcase in Epcot. Don't miss dining at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop for their delicious burgers, fries, and ice cream desserts while listening to classic jukebox favorites. An ideal day for our family when staying at the Beach Club Resort is spending the day at Stormalong Bay, dinner at an Epcot Resort, roasting marshmallows over the beachside campfire followed by a Movie Under the Stars.Stormalong Bay, a beachside water park, offers up three acres of aquatic fun and features a sand-bottomed pool, lazy river, and "Shipwreck," the tallest slide on property.When choosing a resort for each vacation, I consider which parks I will be visiting (convenient location), how much time we will be spending at the resort, and the recreational activities and amenities that are offered at that resort.To be perfectly honest, it would be difficult for me to pass up a longer vacation when it's at a great resort like Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort.With young children, it is nice to plan an extended vacation allowing a more relaxed pace with a "Resort Day" (non park day) scheduled in the middle of the trip. At Port Orleans Riverside Resort, you can also enjoy riding the Sassagoula River Cruise to Downtown Disney. At this resort, you can look forward to old-fashioned cane pole fishing, carriage rides, and six pools to choose from! I am out of room, but please don't hesitate to write me back with any additional questions. Best wishes for a Magical Trip, Alison!
Happy Planning,
