All Stars Music or POP Century?

[Beckett]

Please help me choose. I'd love to hear from people who have stayed there in the past few months. I stayed in ASM last December and I am wondering if paying a little extra to stay at POP is worth it and why. Thank you!

Pop - dedicated bus service, central location on Disney property, better food court IMHO.

Pop is better, but it's definitely not "central location on Disney property." Not even close. It's on the far southeast corner.

Pop. Better location, better buses ant tie-dyed cheesecake.

Would say it depends on how much extra and if you deem all the 'perks' worth it. We went through process the same for our trip this year and decided to save ~80 bucks for food or other experiences. Last year, we paid x amount more for Pop because we hadn't been in a while and thought that in itself would be more worth it.

Our family had this same dilemma between Pop and All Star Movies this summer. I have to tell you I'm embarrassed to say that we ended up choosing ASM because of the statues. Yes the statues. My kids didn't like the ionic statues at POP. Kids-1 Parents-0

More central than the All-Stars, not far from Epcot or Studios.

On average, the travel times to the parks by bus are 5-10 minutes shorter from Pop than from ASM. Central or not, it takes less time to get where you are going from Pop vs ASM.

We stayed at all star music last year and just got back from pop century two weeks ago. We waited a lot longer for buses at pop century than we did at all star, just coming back from magic kingdom I counted 3 buses for all star music before we saw the first bus for pop.

I booked POP but I read this now an I am wondering if I should change it!

I just came back from Disney and a stay at Pop on Sunday ....... buses were not an issue at all, with more then one arriving for each park at the busiest times during the morning. You can't beat the dedicated buses, with only the one stop. The only negative is that the bus waiting areas at the parks are generally one of the furthest walks, a small issue this trip with a relative needing to use a wheelchair.

The dedicated buses at POP is hands down the reason why I picked it over all star resorts.

It has been a while since we have stayed at a value resort. However we had the exact same experience at Pop. For us the bus service was WAY better at the All Stars. That said.... we felt Pop felt more Disney than Music. (But of all of the values, excluding Art because it wasn't opened at the time, we felt Movies felt the most Disney to us!)

pop gets my vote,everything about it is great and its only a short walk to AoA which is awesome

 

[micknminnie]

I vote Pop only because we enjoy their food better. More of a variety then the All Stars.
