We go every year between Christmas and New Year's. We stay at either POFQ or CSR and have done this for several years. As we started to think about next year, we took a look at AoA and are thinking it might be a nice change. We have only stayed at POFQ and CSR. We are people who are on the bus at 6:20am for the 7am MK RD and coming home at 10pm. One or two days we may come back to the hotel for a few hours if the weather is warm enough to swim. We don't use the sit down restaurant or gym at CSR--but we do want the grounds to be nice and feel like a Disney resort.
We have really looked at the reviews and pictures and our biggest concern is the buses. Do they run as regularly as they do at other resorts--at Christmas, that is a big deal. Is it only one stop like POFQ? Do they share with another resort--and if so, does AoA the first or second stop? At CSR we always walk to the first bus stop so we don't worry about a bus being full. We have always been pleased with the bus service elsewhere, so as long as AoA is similar, it would be fine.
Anyone have any comparison reviews? Will it feel like a big step down from POFQ/CSR? Our thought is that since it is brand new it will feel really nice, even with the double beds (getting a regular room with DH, DS12, DD9) and no coffee maker--thoughts? Thanks!
