Just got back from 7 nights at ASMu family suite! It was fantastic, I truly cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed it!! Highly recommend! Very nice, theming is awesome, clean, good mousekeeping, food court was good, nice gift shop, fun arcade, I could go on & on! We were in calypso building 10. My requests of 3rd floor, landscape view were honored. I walked around on our last night to take some night pics & just venture to the other buildings, and I really liked the Broadway section too! It was just beautiful. My only slight complaint was the kiddie pool started to smell pretty gross a few days into our trip so we kept the kids in the big pool after that. But it's a kiddie pool.....I'm sure it gets peed in right & left unfortunately. I could tell some foreign families maybe aren't familiar with swim diapers??? Like 1 kid I saw a couple different days in undies and pj shorts swimming, and he was younger than my youngest so he should've been in a swim diaper. Idk, but like I said the big pools were fine. Someone had set out about 10 beach balks, not sure if it was the resort or a guest spreading magic, but it made my kids happy to play with! 
the front desk staff was nice, we lost 2 magic bands and they replaced & re activated with no trouble. (Another day my daughter forgot hers on the way to MK; they scanned mine to look us up then issued her a card to use instead thank goodness!)
This being our first ever trip, ASMu will always hold a special place in my heart! I learned a lot....like how nice the values really are, and not to get so caught up in where to stay- they are all nice, just GO!! We only shared buses 4x I believe and it was always coming back from a park when the bus wasn't full anyway. 1 time we shared going TO dd/ds. Again, it wasn't full so no big deal. We never waited long. Longest was maybe 5 min. And GOD BLESS all the ppl on the full busses that gave up their seat to me, as I was holding my 2 yr old!!! It happened probably 3x and I was so grateful to those kind folks! We never encountered any rude guests at all! It was amazing. There were a few school groups we saw around, they kept to themselves, I didn't notice any disturbance. I think we got extremely spoiled this first trip-it didn't even rain. NOT ONCE. It truly was amazing. People were kind, and kind to my children.
Something I did find a bit confusing was on the food court menus, it didn't say exactly what came with the meals on the dining plan, so I had to ask. Like the meals came with a large drink out of the coolers (which I thought was weird since we had mugs, but I stocked up on OJ & choc milk for my kids breakfasts when we were eating snack items or ala carte items) and a dessert, and kids got sides but only certain sections.....I felt they could do better labeling things like that, just to clarify.
We enjoyed a lot of biscuits & gravy in the morning for only 3.79 OR a snack credit which I thought was awesome! Also I asked for an additional mickey waffle aka carte one morning for my 2 year old and they said it was no charge! But then another day my husband asked for a side of gravy and was charged a snack credit for it. (He didn't have his wallet on him so he just went with it, otherwise we would've just paid cash.)
Anyway, we loved this resort, and would stay here again without a doubt!
