I have stayed at both Pop Century and the All Star Resorts. I loved them all, but for a unique experience, I would choose Pop Century. The theming is amazing! The Everything POP food court is one of the best on property (try the tie-dye cheesecake!). As for what section to ask for, the 50s and 60s sections are closer to Classic Hall (the main lobby). I stayed in the 80s section and found a great path that leads right to the bus stop without having to go to Classic Hall. If you are really set on an All Star Resort, all of them are pretty much the same- the giant icons, food courts, lobbies, and rooms. These resorts share buses. Sports is picked up first. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you will have an awesome trip!!
