Re: All Star Movies

I've stayed at the ASMovies and POP and personally we always gravitate to POP. None of the values have slides in their pools but we're okay with that. Depending on the crowds can determine how long the bus lines will be, etc. Although the walls are a bit thin, our experiences have always been pleasant. It's been a few years since I've stayed at the AS but my vote always goes for POP.

Re: All Star Movies

Thanks for all of your feedback! I think it will be fine for the 3 nights - plus it was only $69 per night!!!

This trip was totally spontaneous and DH only agreed to it b/c we already have our park tickets left from April - the room was $69 and airfare is $69/each way. I considered POFQ but with the $100 we saved on the room - we are renting a car so we don't have to waste time waiting for buses.

DD7 will love the theming of the resort but is spoiled with the pool slides at the other resorts we've stayed at.

Besides the price, another added bonus will be if we get towel animals. On our 11 day trip in April split up between the BC and CR we never got a towel animal!!!

Thanks for all the feedback!!

I was reading reviews on allears and the biggest complaint seemed to be that you can hear everything (toilets flushing, people in the halls). Did anyone else experience this? I have to laugh b/c we stayed at the Beach Club in April and the walls were so thin! Every morning I heard the man in the room next to us going to the bathroom !!

B/c I have heard stories about waiting in long bus lines, we decided to rent a car.

How about the pool - is there a slide? I guess I'm a little nervous about staying here. Anything encouraging would be great! Thanks!
Prior to my parents becoming DVC members, we always stayed in a value, usually AS Sports. I didn't mind it at all, the way I see it I only need a room to sleep and shower, I like to be out as much as I can. I didn't experience any loud noises from other people. I will be in an AS come MArch of 2008, my dad's HS softball team is going down to play over at Wide World of Sports, so it is a reason to tag along. I do love staying at OKW or SSR, it is much nicer, but I do liek the food courts at the AS's
