Value Resorts
Between the value resorts, what is everyone's favorite and why?
I'm on a kind of tight budget and decided I would rather spend my extra money on fancier restraunts and souvinears, than on a room I'll hardly be in. My main concern is bus transportation. Thanks. |

Re: Value Resorts
If your main concern is bus transportation, go for PC. It's the only stop. Personally, I like ASMu MUCH better....but I think I'm just a music fanatic ;)

Re: Value Resorts
I can only speak of the PC.
It's a new facility and in pretty good condition. Bus transportation was excellent and fast! Excellent theming. Nice pools. Whimsical. While I wish I could afford a moderate resort, I'd stay at the PC again and recommend it to others.

Re: Value Resorts
we were in the 70's. All the theming looked about the same to me....but the 70's (and maybe 80's...I would have to look at a map) was positioned where you didn't have to go through Everything Pop to get to the Bus Stops.

Re: Value Resorts
We've stayed at all four. My favorite would be All Stars Movies. It really feels like you are at disney being surrounded by all the great icons.
If you want a suggestion for location at AllStars Movies, I would choose Toy Story, 2nd or 3rd floor. It is really close to the pool, bus stops and food court, but not considered "preferred" so it doesn't cost extra. It is also the coolest area with the HUGE BUZZ and Woody and RC Racer for the kids to hop in!! Here is a link to show you pictures of the resorts: All Stars Resorts: http://www.suitedisney.com/id245.htm Pop Century: http://www.suitedisney.com/id499.htm

Re: Value Resorts
I would have to agree, we spent 2 weeks at PC last summer and it was great. We were in the 80's building and everything was close enough. The bus stops were outside everything Pop (which is in the check in building) and that was about a 5 minute walk. We had a pool 2 minutes away, and because it wasn't the main pool it was quite most of the time!

Re: Value Resorts
We've only stayed at ASMo and loved it. The bus rides weren't too bad and like BDavis said the Buzz Lightyear and Woody are COOL!!!!!!!!

Re: Value Resorts
We loved POP and felt the same way as you. Save money on the room because we were really only there to sleep.

Re: Value Resorts
PC is awesome! Definitely my fave. The only thing is that after Wishes, the PC bus line at the MK was unbelievable - it was lined up past the other stops. That was in Nov though, so maybe they've fixed it by now. :)
