All Star Values - when to "student groups" arrive?

[pooh2001]

We do not want to be run over or hear noise from student groups.
Nothing against Pop Warner Football or Cheerleaders - been there done that with our DS & DD

DH & DW nice almost retired WDW budget vacation - possibly staying at an All Star (maybe Music)

Planning Fall mid October or Spring early May

Do you know if the All Star Values have Student Groups staying there ?

Thank you for any advice

Mid October-no.

Early May-YES-it is Cheerleader city the first 2 weeks in May.

We love the weather in early May
Oh well
Then maybe late April if it is well after Easter weeks
Possibly mid October
But we will avoid Halloween

We had cheerleaders at Pop in early February 2014.

We had cheerleaders at Pop in early February 2014.

Early Feb at POP this year, there were at least 3 groups of South American teen girls plus cheer groups later in the week. I always see cheerleaders in early February.

Early May for sure and may not even get a room as this year they did a buy out and then unused rooms released to unsuspecting folks.

October will be less numbers but not impossible. DS is a coach and they are heading to Disney to compete second week of October, the hotels are offered to them and any other sports teams there. There is Cross Country, Martial Arts, Softball for sure.

You will be safe from the Big Tour Groups at both times. They are in summer, January and February.

NOTE: While DS team competes at Disney they don't stay on property because they don't even want their team around other teams.

Our high school band goes to AS-Music over Thanksgiving week. They only take up a part of one building though and are put way in the back of the resort.

HUGE Cheer comp the last week of April.

For the All-Stars, I don't think I'd ever assume there won't be student groups. If you're looking to avoid noise, I'd either upgrade to a moderate or find somewhere nice offsite.

A bunch of towns in our area here in NJ do senior class trips in March.

You WILL have school groups at ANY value and ANY time. Size and type of group will vary. There are cheerleaders From littles to college, Pop warner, school bands, dance competitions and senior trips.

In 11 years of multiple value stays each year, the only ones I try to avoid are the Cheer Summit Crowd, usually late April.

In any event, request TOP floor, landscape view and your problems should be minimized.
