Advice: 1 room at Contemporary v. 2 at PO Riverside

[Disney Anna]

I want everyone's opinion. Am planning a trip this October 13-18. 3 adults (my sister, her boyfriend and me) and 2 kids (my neice who is 12 and nephew who is 10).

We are debating btn getting 1 standard room at Contemporary and 1 at PO Riverside. They say each room can hold 5 people. So my first question is: Is that really true? Will we be like sardines in either?

2nd debate: 1 room at Contemporary v. 2 rooms at PO Riverside.

It costs $507 overall more to stay at Contemporary than PO Riverside when you compare one room to one room.

If we got 2 rooms at POR, then that would cost about $280 more than just the one room at Contemporary.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

POR will give you 2 bathrooms (double the showers and changing areas!) and 4 sinks as well as 4 beds and 2 trundles.

If you don't mind a split stay, I think I'd do 2 nights at CR just to see what it's all about and the rest at POR. You'll feel like royalty with all the space

Having just returned last night from WDW, I would say get two rooms at POR. We visited the CR to have breakfast at Chef Mickeys and I liked the location to MK but I like the feel of POR better. My kids ages 16, 7 & 9 loved staying at POR.

We stayed POR in May.

My kids missed the monorail and closeness of those resorts!!!

Never again will I take my kids to anything but a monorail resort!!!

Don't get me wrong, POR is pretty but not for us.
