lol... how DARE you count votes and tell them to us in a manner in which captainkidd does not approve of!

What was the bad experience due to? AoA is essentially a duplicate of Pop (albeit with a different theme - but I doubt the theme caused you to have a bad experience). Also, one night is not a good sample size - anyone can have one bad night just about anywhere if the circumstances are right -...

Pops rooms were redone recently as well.

I would absolutely rather stay at Pop than GF - but not for that reason. You just got done saying the All Stars and Pop are almost identical - but Pop is newer. I would rather have a 2003 Honda Civic than a 1999 Honda Civic - but obviously Id take a 1990 Ferrari over either. The Pop/GF...

Clones of each other, yes. The same, no. The bus service and the groups of loud people are noticeably different at the All Stars than at Pop... this can make a large difference, even the if layouts of the resorts are very similar. Also, not being 'much' newer doesn't mean it isn't newer and...

You find it funny that people are stating something that is true? I fail to find the humor - or your point. The bus service alone keeps us staying at Pop - nothing is more frustrating on a hot day than waiting 15-20 minutes for a bus that shows up with either standing room only or no room at...

This is not true, actually. We've crunched the numbers, and for my wife and I free dining saves us substantially more than any discount we've seen on room rates. *I should add, though, that we typically stay in value resorts. Perhaps a 25-35% discount on a deluxe changes things a lot. But...

I find this post quite amusing - and I think it displays perfectly how the people who complain about free dining are just the ones who don't/can't benefit from it. Either they belong to DVC, travel at times when Disney doesn't offer it, etc... but the truth is their feelings are 'If I can't...

Funny you mentioned this phrase - honestly when I saw the phrase used here I was like 'what the heck is a tailback!? Must be a term used out west.' But then you reference New England as a place that uses it... I must say I've lived in Massachusetts all my life and have never heard that - so it...

I would also like to add to this discussion, just because I don't think this has been mentioned, that a regular room at AoA in October is exactly the same price as a Pop room at that time. We booked last week. So it's not as if Disney is getting some sort of crazy premium for AoA - they've...

This same thought could be behind giving all resorts, including values, free wifi and refrigerators. Maybe Disney has decided that they can get a little more for their 'value' resorts. They start AoA a little high, and then the rest of the values and AoA land up together somewhere in the middle.

I REALLY hope they have their own bus service - as someone who really doesn't like standing on the buses and have them yell at us to "move back!" when we're already packed like sardines. And - there's nothing worse than waiting a while for a bus that shows up completely full from the resort...

We were in Disney last week and the rome burning smell is definitely either completely broken or it's terribly close - you could get a very faint whiff of it but I think that could just be how the area smells because of having been exposed to the piped in scent for so long. It was real...

My family allowed my sister to bring a friend to Disney or on a cruise multiple times when she was a teenager - they always paid for everything except souvenir type stuff. I would say if the family of the child you are inviting along has the type of discretionary income to pay for their...

Considering the main gripe around here is that Disney is cheap or Disney doesn't do enough to hide certain things from view (Barnstormer/Dumbo building...) - I highly doubt Disney chose to spend money on a castle wall without having good reason for it. The whole idea is that you shouldnt be...

Just to chime in quickly here - and I apologize if something similar has been mentioned already, I skimmed the topic quickly - but my wife and I use an ING Direct account for savings and find it really useful (there are several other similar online savings accounts). ING pays better interest...

As far as the preferred pool facing rooms - we (my wife and I) actually don't find them to be any better, and in some cases they're considerably noisier (more foot traffic and whatnot in those areas). When it comes to Pop itself, we really like the resort. We have stayed in the All Stars as...

Thanks for confirming - that's wonderful! Usually we pay everyday for internet (well, we realized if you left the laptop on 24/7 that most days the internet wouldn't reset and charge you. I think on our last trip of 2 weeks we got charged about 3-4 times and used it everyday) and we dont pay...

Just to clarify, and sorry I know it has kind of been said but I want to double check: My wife and I are heading to Pop next week - I understand that the fridges are not in all of the rooms yet, but if we request to have one it should be free now? Can anyone confirm this for sure? If so -...
