Brazilian Tour Groups--where do they stay?

[dmbouton75]

Planning a trip from July 15-22nd and would like to avoid staying at a resort with any Brazilian Tour Groups. I'm not looking to bash them and hear horror stories. I just want to know where they typically stay. I would be asking the same question about Pop Warner if I were going in December.

Thanks,
Dawn

Brazil?

You know, I don't think I've ever read any horror stories about the Brazillian tour groups at hotels... This has led me to believe that they stay at off-site hotels.

Yeah can't say I've really ever heard any horror stories either.

I did a search and there's a thread from 2007 about it at ASM. I'm hoping since the thread is old that means they stay offsite, but you never know. Just wanted to make sure.

I think if you avoid the Value Resorts you will generally be safe from all groups.

We visited WDW in July '08 and '09, and stayed at Wilderness Lodge both times. I can say for certain that no Brazilian tour groups were staying there. We did see many in the parks, and some had tags on their backpacks that indicated they were staying at the All Stars. I do believe some groups stay at the value resorts. Not sure if they are ever at the moderates or deluxes.

Yep we were at ASMovies in 2007 and they were too. They were only a bother in the food court though, we didn't hear them otherwise.
If you're looking for a value, you can try Pop Century. Groups don't usually stay there.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that a group of them was staying at the Holiday Inn near DtD (before its refurb), and THAT scene was an absolute nightmare. But I agree; you stay at a moderate or deluxe and I doubt you'll have any issues (except for the parks ).

I'm nearly 100% sure that they don't stay at a Disney hotel; so I think you'll be fine!

Although i think they stay off-site, you best bet is to avoid the all stars. I have never seen a group stay at POP. If going up to moderate i doubt the Brazilian tour groups would be there but sometimes cheer and dance groups stay at port orleans(not sure witch side) they tend to come out of nowhere randomly for competitions

[dmbouton75]

Thank you for all the replies! I appreciate it!

Never see tour groups at the Deluxes. You pay for what you get--peace and quiet!!

Not too bad at Moderates either.

[Testtrack321]

You'll only see groups, not just Brazilian, at the All Stars, especially the All Star Sports. You won't see them at Pop nearly as much, if at all, and of course, you won't see them at Moderates or Deluxe (and if they are at deluxe you guys should demand a reason and to be moved)

I stayed at ASM last year for a weekend in July.Half the resort was Brazillian tour groups. However they were fine. No problems with them at all. Food court was over crowded in the morning though.
