I am impatiently awaiting release of rack rates (come on June 18th) for a February 2020 (week before Presidents Day) trip. We will be a party of four- me, DH, DS13, DS17. Last year we stayed at CSR with a rollaway....we need three sleeping surfaces because youngest is a vicious kicker. It was a little cramped, but we were comfortable enough. Now we are looking forward- Even though I could stay at parks open to close, the guys do like to lounge in the room some afternoons. The boys and I decided an AoA Cars suite would be a good fit for us....being able to spread out a bit and having two bathrooms. We are daily hoppers, often split up and we rely on Disney transportation while there (even when we have a car). I like the idea of Skyliner access . We have many Epcot restaurants on our planning list. (I did consider the idea of a deluxe room with daybed at an Epcot area resort or bunk bed room at WL or AKL but no matter how nice the amenities, the boys go back to the multiple room floor plan. Not to mention, we would need a serious discount to go deluxe.)
If you stuck with me this far, thanks ....here comes the question. With the real rack rates nearing (hopefully to be followed by discounts!), I am contemplating the possibility that two Pop rooms could ultimately be cheaper than or similarly priced to an AoA suite. (Yes?) I also see Pop seems to have a lot of fans. (Only consistent downside I read about is being farthest bus stop.) Could two rooms at Pop be a comparable or even better option than an AoA suite?? (I know that connecting or even adjoining rooms not guaranteed.)
FWIW we have not stayed at either resort before.
(ETA I do check out the floor plans and points rental calculations once in a while....but I am not seriously considering renting DVC points.)
