After going delux...can you go 'VALUE'?

[pattyT]

joyful -
yikes - it was that bad ahe...what was it? the crowds the rooms?

Magic-
there are some hidden gems at Frt Wilderness ( and when we were there everyone was in line for them ) the hayride at firework time was not happening - lol so we say them while on the boat ride that was kewl!

Sarah-
I know but this trip is ALL ABOUT the kids! I wish I could surround them with MICKEY 24-7
Every resort has its fans and enemies! All depends on the person I quess.

QJ411-
I know I LOVE WL - but having nothing to compare it to I am afraid that I may be missing other wonderful resorts too! I quess thats the prob when you start with the BEST!

Crystal-
we actaully did spend a rellatively large amount of time there - I think.
The first and last day, one in the middle we just did mouse boat rides, swam, played in the arcade, walked the paths, and hung out. We really enjoyed the hotel - it is an important part of the vaca!

Yecats - ok now I will be the odd one out -
I haven't ben to AK Lodge - but I can tell you that the park isn't my favorite. If I had to skip one that would be it. So I have a tendancy to think that the longer drives etc would not justify the chance to glimps a giraffe. Don't get me wrong - for the kids sake I have debated it - and I haven't totally eliminated the thought of a FEW days there though

Thank you all for your personal experiences and thoughts!
This is always the hardest part of vaca planning!
AUGH

We've stayed at everything from a Honeymoon Suite at WL to the Fantasia building at ASM, and we weren't disappointed at all in ASM. The ASM room was defintely on the small side, but the decor was REALLY cute. Hubby didn't like higher percentage of strollers on the buses (we don't have kids and he gets impatient waiting to get on - I keep reminding him we're at WDW - chill!!!). I would definitely do ASM again - in fact, we had reservations for a split week for ASM and AKL later this month.

We have been staying at the all stars the last 5 - 6 years. I guess everyone has opinions, but we have ALWAYS had a GREAT trip , from clean room, food courts, busses, etc. We go often so for us we are really not in our room much. We usually use the pools , which are great, then we usually go to the water parks, Actually its funny cause 3 summers ago friends stayed at Dixie and all her kids wanted to switch to the Music where we were. hah . The kids love the place. Personally though its to each there own. Like i said we go every year so we have a great time at the all stars.

Aren't kids funny? What about Pop Century? all of the pcitures I've seen look great! With three pools, they shouldn't be too crowded and no bus sharing!!!!
