I have heard that the Moderates are not as bad, and I imagine the Deluxes are even better. This past visit (not during Pop Warner) we stayed at the Fort Wilderness Cabins and I don't think I'll stay anywhere else again! I loved it.

Pushing in, parents acting like their children are A listers, lots of chanting and cartwheeling squeely girls. Football players trying to show off. Not all the kids were bad, but enough were to mar the experience (kids in wheelchairs to save their legs for competition - please!!!) Needless to say, if you can avoid WDW during that time, I would advise it.
