Adivce on hopper pass at value resort

[disneyfor5]

Will are planning our vacation for November and will be staying at All Star Movies. This is our first time staying on property with the hopper passes. Since the All Star Movies seems to be far out from the Magic Kingdom and some of the other parks, can anyone give us advice on the best way to get the most out of the hopper pass. Will will be driving so we will have a car and wondering if it is just best to drive to each park or use disney transportation. ANy ideas or advice is welcome. Thanks

It is furthest from MK but really quite convenient to AK and MGM with Epcot not being too far either.

The bus or car is fine. We stay at the values often and its really no less convenient that other hotels - they are all close to something and further from something else.

I travel with a large family and find the busses to be a hassle sometimes so I usually drive my car to every park except MK, because there you still have to take public transportation from the parking lot so it defeats the whole purpose of the car. My teenagers will often split from us during the day and they love that they can hop on a bus and have the freedom to go anywhere though and I love the peace of mind knowing that they can do it safely.

We stayed at ASMo 2 years ago and hopped very often! At the time we had just one child (10yr old son) and it was easier for us to drive our rental car than taking the busses. We like the freedom of going when we want to go and not having to wait, especially at park closing. Of course you still have to wait for a tram to the parking lot (unless you're close) but we still got back before many of the busses. Depending on crowds, disney transpo will eat away some of your time but you'll have to test it out a time or two to see which is easier and less time consuming for your family.

The AK is literally right around the corner from the all stars, you turn out of the all stars entrance road, make one or two more quick turns and you're there!

I have never stayed at POP, or All Star...however, my in-laws do when they come with us...

DRIVE, they have the worst luck, especially at park closing.

I Never drive to Magic Kingdom... because you have to go park, then either take the boat or monorail over.

when we take the bus it brings you right to the gate area of MK
