Which one would you choose?

Help me choose our resort for our next trip please
Assume that the cost is relatively the same for all 3 options.
Going in September with my 7yr old daughter. Our last trip was at CBR and we loved it!

Really really enjoy having the Skyliner right there! Daughter is a real fan of waterslides so AOA has a slight disadvantage. Although the theming of the resort gains some points back.
We will probably have Hopper if that makes a difference..

I would not stay at a skyliner resort during rainier months (Aug. Sept are the worst in my opinion). I know others will say they've never had an issue and that's great for them, but as much as we really enjoy the convenience of the skyliner; during stormy months it is not worth the hassle to us. We did it once and won't do it again. When it's working; it's great, but when it goes down (which is very oftem in Aug./Sept.) it's so disappointingly ridiculous and inefficient. For whatever reason Disney has not consistently had decent communication about it's status nor a good/fast alternative during the transition between skyliner/bus.

We'd do POR - slide and boat to DS and not as big as CS.

I would go Coronado if it was the tower. Skyliner and evening thunderstorms aren’t a great mix . I would go Riverside.

Wil you have lots of down time? I think you get access to both Riverside and FQ pools.

Will you take advantage of the free waterpark on check-in day? Maybe she won’t care a much about smaller slides is she goes to a waterpark- AOA looks so fun for younger kids!

Skyliner is Sept could be rough, I’d go POR or CSR.

To clarify a few things…

We won’t have much down time, it’s only a short 5 day trip this time. And yes, probably going to the waterpark on first day if all goes well.

I get what you are all saying about the skyliner going down. It didn’t last time but maybe we were just really lucky.

For those of you who have stayed at both, how do you compare CBR and CSR in terms of size of the resort? People told us CBR was way too big, but we didn’t find it that bad. Yeah the bus loop can take a few extra minute but no big deal..
