Which Value Resort for a 1yr girl? - The DIS Discussion Forums

CubanaMama · 11-18-2009, 10:27 AM

We're planning to do a quick last-minute weekend trip to Disney late November and I'm about to book. Never have stayed in a value before. Which one would you reccomend....we have a 1yr old little girl.
Plus, are the preferred rooms worth the extra $? The only way I talked my hubby into doing this last-minute trip is because of the current room discounts so trying to save a buck any way I can!

TIA!

I would have to say POP would be the best. I find it cleaner and cheerier than the others. The bright colors might appeal more to her as well. Also, preferred isn't always worth the money. The whole place is big so even if you get a preferred it can be a bit of a walk to the buses/food court area.

Thanks for you're quick reply & recommendation. She is crazy about dogs. Do you happen to know what section the Lady & the Tramp area is at the POP? I can't find a hotel site map anywhere online!

Here's a link to the map. 50's is Lady and the Tramp. Not sure but I think that might be a preferred building.

Based on what you've said I would do Pop(as stated earlier) or Movies. Since movies has the 101 dalmations section which I don't think is preferred.

I think Pop would be ideal. I think the Hippy Dippy Pool is great for little kids and it has two quiet pools vs. the one quiet pool the other values have. Its also centrally located and has I think, the best food court on property.

I like preferred but mostly because I like the theming of the preferred buildings at Pop (big Mowgli and Mickey Phone fans at this house

) Pop is laid out in such a way, that no building is more than five minute walk to the main area and bus stop.

Music is the only value that I really recommend preferred since its laid out differently and some of the back sections can be a hike.

If you can't get Pop for some reason, I'd recommend either Music (newly redone rooms) or All Star Movies (big 101 Dalmations icons). Sports is nice too, but I doubt that theming would do much for your 1 year old daughter!

I would pick whichever one I wanted with the best discount - since you say that is important.

A one year old won't care where you are.

I prefer the All Stars over Pop but that is me.
