The kids would love All Star Movies or Pop.The icons are fun and so Disney!.
The main difference between a mod and a value is that mods have a hot tub and a pool slide.
Not much difference in the room size.
Here is the layout.
The bathroom of a mod is about the same size as the All Stars but the mod has 2 sinks instead of one.
POR room lay out
here is the All Star room layout'
[All Star Sports room layout
The mods have 54 more square feet.
That means if the value room and the mod room were both 27 feet long, than the mod would be 2 feet wider. That would mean there is enough room for a double sink instead of a single. The mod would also have 2 extra feet of space between the foot of the bed and the TV,
Not much extra room for storage.
Disney's value are a total bargain. You get so many perks (Disney themeing, Disney transportation, and EMH)
Any of Disney's resort guests (even those staying at a value ) are allowed to shop, dine, use the transportation or spa facilities at any of the Disney Resorts. (Of course pool hopping is not allowed.)
Theming does play an important part in liking a certain value.
Some guests really enjoy Pop. They like the giant big wheel, can of playdough or some other giant icon that brings back fond childhood memories.
Me? I enjoy the theming at the All Stars.
I grew up watching Mickey Mouse Club.
Mickey and Donald are important Disney characters to me. That is why the All Stars feel Disneyish to me and why I like them so much.
Here are some of the reasons I choose the All Stars over Pop.
1. It is less crowded at All Stars
Pop has 2,880 rooms in their Classic years section (the section that is currently open) vs. 1,960 rooms at each of the All Star Resorts.
2. Bus rides are about 5- 10 minutes shorter from the All Stars.
All Star Buses----POPbuses--
MK 20 min---- ----25 min------
Epcot 10 min-- -----20 min------
MGM 10 min-------15 min------
AK 10 min----------15 min----
DTD 15 min----------20 min-----
It only 10 minutes to get Epcot,MGM.and AK from the All Stars.
The MK is 20 minutes away .That is the same amount of time it takes to get to the MK from the CR using the monorail!
(Pop is closer to MGM and Epcot than the All Stars but the bus route from the All Star resorts is more direct
3. The beds are more comfortable at the All Stars and you can move them giving you more usable floor space.
The beds at Pop are rock hard and are bolted to the floor.
4. There are 3 food courts to choose from (you can also refill your All Star mug at any All Star Food Court).
5. Gift shops are quieter and service is better at the All Stars because they are separate from the food court.
Having the parcel pick-up for packages delivered to the resort from the parks is behind the counter at the All Stars. It is - fast and convenient but at Pop it is across the building .
6. The parking at The All Stars is better. The lots are huge and there are more rooms located close to the lots at the All Stars than there are at Pop.
7. When staying at the All Stars you can use any of the All Star pools.That means 3 main pools ,3 quiet pools and 3 kiddie pools to chose from.
The All Star Movie Fantasia pool has Mickey.
The Calypso pool at ASMU has Donald Duck.
Where else can one find Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse at the pool?
Have fun at Disney!
