Which Value Resort?

I have stayed at all of them and I don't really have a favorite. I think it depends on the kids and what they feel like doing. We stayed at Sports with Baseball and that was awesome, but staying at sports means a lot of teams staying there and that means heavy bus lines and food court lines and the ever loving CHEERLEADERS ..LOL. Movies I think are more for the little ones if you have them, they like the theming of their mine loved staying in the "Woody" building. Music was our first and it was cool, but nothing they would want again. POP, is a great choice because they have their own buses. That is great at night. Animation My DS loves because it's new and looks great.. He loves the Nemo pool with the music under water and the décor is awesome too. I think all the food courts are about the same. Although last time we ate at Movies the breakfast was great. We are going there this time just for that..lol

The rooms are all the same layout. With decor to match the resort. The stores are the same just each one has something to offer for that resort.

Price: Sports, Movies, POP pretty much run the same Music is more because they offer the suites. Animation regular rooms which are the same exact room as the other three is more expensive right now. Only because it's the newest one.

Whichever one you choose you will enjoy :mickey:

DH and I have stayed at POP and AoA (a couple times at each).

We really like AoA. POP was nice, too, but we prefer AoA. The theming is wonderful, and we like the AoA food court better. The layout is very nice, and the food was excellent.

We stayed in the Little Mermaid section, Ursula building, facing the pool. We could see Illuminations from outside our room on the upper floors, which was a cool touch that we weren't expecting one night!

I have been to Art of Animation which is very good, but if you want to save money I'd go to Pop, it's also very good.

Haven't stayed at AoA, but we loved POP for what it is. It's nicer than the other values because it's newer and its own bus line is great.

I have stayed at all of the values. Really depends on you and what you like. Pros and cons with each of them as with all resorts.
One of the cons to me of AOA. If you are saying in the regular Little Mermaid rooms, those are the farthest from the buses and food court. It can be a long walk after a long day at the parks. Plus just to far to run grab a snack or fill up your drink mug.
I love the theming at Pop but younger children might prefer the theming at the ASMO or Sports. While Pop does have its own buses the resort is large and at times can be very long lines at the buses. Our last trip in early November there were a couple mornings we waited in line for 3-4 buses before we were able to get on.

We have stayed in them all, except AOA. However, we haven't stayed in a value in years. When we did the values the kids were really young and they loved Toy Story so we stayed at Movies several times. Each of the other values just once each.

Now that the kids are older if we would stay at a value I think we'd probably give Pop Century a try. Seems a lot of people really like it. It's newer than the All Stars, a bit cheaper than AOA, and the one time we stayed there it seemed a bit cleaner/fresher than the All Stars (probably because it was newer).
