Thanks for the reply, Kathy.
It is amazing how different the space need are. For my daughter the studios at BCV..at least the bathrooms...are not as good as the GF and the Polynesian.
I can understand the moderates and value resort entrances would be easier. Are the bathrooms as convenient?
I love the All Star resorts.
The bathroom with the roll in shower is very large. I would estimate it is more than twice lenght of the small standard bathroom and it has a huge sliding pocket door.
The king size bed is located quite a ways from the entry door giving me plenty of room to back my EVC in.
The deluxe rooms have the closet and bath by the entry door so there is that narrow hall way.
I cannot find the HA layouts but I will post the standard layouts of a Deluxe,a mod and an All Star room.
Beach club layout
POR layout
All Star room layout.
I have also found the bus transportation to be very good.
Bus rides are quite short from the ALL Stars according to PassPorter.com
All Star Buses-CBR buses---POPbuses--PO buses--- Contemporary
MK 20 min---- 20 min-----25 min------10 min---20 min(mono)
Epcot 10 min-- 15 min-----20 min------10 min---15 min
MGM 10 min----12 min-----15 min------15 min---20min
AK 10 min------20min-------15 min----15 min---20 min
DTD 15 min----20 min------20 min-----15 min---35 min
It only takes 10 minutes to get to Epcot, MGM and AK from All Stars.
MK is 20 min away. That's the same amount of time it takes on the monorail from the Contemporary.
A WORD ABOUT BUS SHARING
To me Bus Sharing at the All Stars is really a
non issue.
In the mornings during Park opening hours each All Star usually has a dedicated bus.
During mid day it is usually just our stop and maybe one more on the way to the parks. On the way back sometimes it is all 3 but often Sports and Music share and Movies has it's own bus back.
I guess some people who stay at POP see all 3 All Star names on the return sign of our bus stop when they head to the POP bus stop and think All Stars also has 3 stops on the way to the park.
(Even when we stop at another AS resort to load up it has not taken more than 5 minutes and we are on our way!)
Have fun at Disney!
