Trying to make a decision!

[Disneygal1]

Okay so I know a very similar question was posted not too long ago, but I need your help! So my friends and I are trying to make a decision on either staying at Pop Century or All Star Movies (the other post was about pop vs. music). My friend wants to stay at Movies, but I want to stay at Pop. I really don't know what to do. I have stayed at Movies, but never Pop, and I wanted to stay at Pop because it's newer. What do you think? Are there any big differences between the two?

I've stayed at both and enjoyed each for their own reasons. If you are not renting a car and will be relying on Disney transport I would stay at Pop.
Have fun!

Value resorts no longer share a bus to go to the parks. We shared a bus between Sports and Music to go to DD on our last trip, that is it. They haven't shared for some time now, however, many people continue to say they do.

POP is fine, Movies, Music and Sports are all fine too. Sports was recently updated, I was there last September. The resort is clean and not as spread out as POP. I haven't stayed at any other value except Sports and POP so I can't tell you anything about the others. If you are staying on a WDW property you cannot go wrong with any choice. Just make a plan, go, and have fun!

Transportation isn't a problem for me (I will be driving down there). I don't know, I feel that Pop is more updated than the All Star...

These exact 2 were compared just a week or two ago. You can search for the thread, it had a lot of input and will probably be helpful.

My vote goes to Pop. I like the feel and theme of it, and find the food court much easier to deal with in the mornings. I also like that there is more than one beverage station. I agree with you in the more "updated" feel of it.

My vote would have to go to Pop as well but both are fine :shrug:

I've stayed at Movies. It's nice enough. Pop just impresses me more (even though I've never stayed there).

If you stay at Pop, get a preffered room. The walk can be very long there.

never stayed at an All Star but have stayed at POP 3 times and loved it. But I have to agree that either choice would be fine. So in conclusion(sp?) I vote for POP.

I have never stayed at Movies but I have stayed at Pop. Pop is the only value we will ever stay in again. It was the only value where we didn't experience any problems, and we are not complainers. I'm not sure if the room is bigger either at Pop but it seemed to be so. (My son was younger so maybe not)
We enjoyed everything about Pop...food court, shop, pools, icons were great and in plenty, buses were good and it was actually quiet at night.

Good luck deciding.:wave:

Pop is perfect. It's a value resort but during our stay it was perfect. I heard a lot of negative reviews about the All Stars so we chose and loved the Pop. The most silent AC of all hotels we stayed at during our entire vacation in Florida and this includes the POLYNESIAN which has by far the loudest AC of any Disney Resort we stayed at.

I made reservations! Because my sister wants to stay at the All Stars, I gave in and listened to her But anyway, I am so excited!! :sohappy:

I've stayed at all the Values, and although Pop and Music are my favorites, the other two are great as well.

If you plan on using the Food Court, I would go to Music. Because of the suites, there are less guests on site.

The big draw back at Pop can be 20-30 minutes to get through the food line and another 20-30 to pay.

We stopped going to Pop because the average meal, breakfast or dinner, took about 60-75 minutes. At the AS Music we spend 20-30 total. It is also much quieter at the food court. Pop gets really loud.

Doesn't sound like you could wrong either way really! I mean, after all, you ARE in WDW...right! :sohappy:

And hopefully, if there is a next time, she will cave in and let you pick the resort! Have fun!!!! :wave:
