Which Value Resort?

It's great for kids, but as an adult, I couldn't stay there more then a day or two without them. The food court is excellent and the pool is huge. Try to stay in one of the building close to Animation Hall so you are close to everything.

I've stayed in Movies, Music, and Pop Century. Honestly, I didn't see a huge difference between them. Art of Animation looks very cute, and might be nicer since it's newer, but I haven't stayed there. If it was up to me, I'd stay at a moderate to deluxe range hotel, but my kids just go gaga over the theming at the value resorts and when you're running around with kids all day, it's just not worth it (at least to me), to pay for a pricier hotel.

You might look into the bus schedule and how it relates to the individual resorts (if that matters to you). I think movies is the last drop off, which, after a long day at the parks is not fun!

I forgot to add that the Art of Animation has its own bus, that's always a plus too...

We prefer Pop Century. It is a little cheaper than Art of Animation. I guess there is a little $ premium since it is newer. Pop Century has it's own bus which is a little nicer than the All-Stars. But really, the difference is so small I'd try to rotate each one in over the years.

We are POP people. They are all nice though.

We've stayed at all the values except AoA. Our preference is POP, larger food court & no bus sharing.

Pop gets my vote, though we've enjoyed staying at Movies.

Same for us. We love POP.

If you are going to stay at the All Stars, I prefer All Star Sports since it is the first bus stop. Those 3 resorts share busses and it can get to be full rather quickly.

I like POP and All Star Music.
The busses are fantastic no matter what resort you use and they all have pretty nice food courts.
I just like Music the best concerning the all stars:thumbsup:
While at all star music i have never got on a full bus headed to the parks....We have headed back from the parks. But thats a non issue. Its not that long of a ride and what the hay..its free.

Our preference is POP, have stayed at AoA which was nearly brand new at the time, but I don't think it's worth the price increase from POP. Perhaps because it's larger POP seems less crowded to me.

We typically only have stayed at the values on our first or arrival night and if I drop the DD off for her seasonal work. We really like POP the best. The food court is good and the busses are great, no sharing at all. The AoA costs more than POP. The hourglass lake is a great run trail if you like to run. :mickey:

We have stayed at all the values and prefer POP. To me it has a great feel. It is also nice to be able to walk over to AofA to eat. The food is much different then other resort food courts.

Only ever stayed at music and sports. POP is with DS in June. We've had good experiences at our other stays.
