I love the value resorts, mostly for the fun theming, bang for buck, and because i always have stayed in them. My only real gripe is the room noise. Walls let pretty much any noise right on through and makes sleeping in impossible.
So my question is, are mods any better? If so, is it enough to justify paying double the price? Thanks.
You point out the main reason I just can't do value resorts anymore. I'm extremely picky about sleeping conditions, and can't do noise from other guests. I always travel with a fan.Quote:

The only time I have noticed noise is when I have a room that connects with another, doesn't matter what category you are staying at.
The only time I've noticed the noise is in the morning, when people leave the latch out so that their door to the outside will not close. We have had rooms where the banging of the door on that latch continues almost constantly while families are getting ready. Other than that, I have not noticed any other noise at the moderates.
You know where I've had the worst noise problems? The Poly. So I don't think the more costly resort level guarantees less noise.
I agree. The most noise we ever experienced, and it was a lot, was in our room at POFQ that connected with another. The guests in the other room were soooo loud, and stayed up waaay into the night. Ugh!Quote:

I get a room on the top floor...only noise I've encountered in over ten trips to the values was swimming pool noise. We stay away from pool view anymore.
I will agree that helps, as long as nobody is next to you. I asked for a top floor last trip and it helped, but they then put people in each of the rooms next to me and it was back to normal. (also noticed that all the other rooms on that row seemed empty. :confused:) lol just my luck but hey it's not like any one of us could have WDW all to ourselves. but that's a dream for another day...:cloud9:Quote:

But, when our room does connect, you can hear noises from the other room. But, with the TV on, us making our own noise, etc. it has never been a problem.
A couple of trips ago, I was quite worried, the family beside us had a small baby, and it would cry when they came "home" (usually VERY late). But, they had some special power and it was never a problem for more than a minute or two.
We have stayed at 3/4 mods and never had a complaint about noise. Our only time we had a complaint was at BC. People were letting kids run down those in-closed hall ways late at night and it was very noisy.
Maybe you could stay in the tree house villas. They have less neighboring walls. A rental house is quiet too. Of course the quietest place I'd stayed is at our family house 70 miles away in the middle of orange grove country! :mickey:

I too, can appreciate "biggest bang for you buck" so for us, it depends on the season or time of year we go as to when we'll do a value or spend the $$ for moderate/deluxe.Quote:

I have a "sleep machine" which basically mimics a blowing fan noise. It works wonders at home and while traveling. It's pretty compact and fits in my suitcase fine. I spent about $50 for a decent one and now will never leave home without it!:cloud9:
Last year we decided to stay at POR and what a mistake that was - the first couple of nights were fine, but then a girls volleyball team arrived and let me tell you, I wanted to leave. They were always out in the middle of the night screaming to each other. We usually stay at Pop, on the top floor and the always had noise, but nothing like this. :(
If you are used to living on a quiet dead end street, any of the resorts will seem noisy. Doors slam, kids yell, and turbo-toilets flush!! For that reason, I always travel with ear plugs. They deaden the sounds, but you can still hear alarm clocks.
