Hi Karey!
While I do give a small nod to the pool at Caribbean Beach Resort, I have to say that my favorite moderate resort is
Port Orleans French Quarter
and one of the main reasons is due to its size.
French Quarter is the
smallest of the moderates, which means that everything is within a quick
walk (a huge perk at the end of a long park day!!). Another asset of
this resort is its incredible New Orleans theme that just envelopes you
in the feel of the "old South".
Perks of this resort (besides being beautiful)
include boat transportation to Downtown Disney, use of the pool and
amenities at Riverside (included since French Quarter and Riverside are
sister resorts), and a great quick service restaurant featuring Beignets
for breakfast! YUM!!
You and your family will have a ton of fun exploring the grounds of both
French Quarter and Riverside and checking out the pools and slides at
both resorts. Don't forget to hop a boat to Downtown Disney for a nice
way to send a few quiet moments traveling down the lazy river!
January is a great time to visit. Typically, crowds are fairly low at this time of year.
Hope this helps!
