2 Rooms at a value for extra space or One at moderate? Help??

I have to say my worst experience noise wise was at WL, our room location was upstairs and all we got was crowd noise from the lobby/restaurant below.

OP: I think with your kids ages one room is fine.

Our friends said the same thing when they stayed there. They requested to be moved away from the lobby area. I had noisy neighbors at all 3 levels with AKL ranking 1st, they were even louder on the balcony. Thank goodness they left 2 days later, because we were planning on moving to another room.

Yes, the balcony-to-room voice level can be really bad. Not to mention people smoking on their balconies, even though it's not permitted.

If you do go with the value, I’d recommend asking away from the pools. We’ve stayed at sports twice and AoA/movies once. Movies we were pretty close to the ducks pool (great location to Music bus stop and food), and it was very loud in the evenings. Same at sports one stay when we were facing the home run pool, but actually much closer to the parking lot. I thought it would be ok since we werent right by the pool, but it was still loud. The only quiet stays we had was we were in the tennis section facing the surfs up section, and at AoA suite facing the lake.

Other than the rooms being smaller, my biggest complaint of the values is the noise in general. I don’t know if there are more kids or what at them, but it just always seems like such a ruckus at those resorts the times we’ve stayed (even the more quiet rooms I feel like the grounds are just louder in general). We haven’t had the noise issues at CBR, CSR, Y/C, or CR (minus the excitement you can hear from chef mickeys).
