ASM Family Suites or Art of Animation?

[smiths02]

We are doing AoA this summer, but our kids will be 9 and twin almost 3 year olds, so theming is important. With kids your ages, I might save the money and do All Star music. I might save even more money and do 2 value rooms if you don't need the kitchenette.
Depending on discounts, you might get cabins cheaper than AoA...don't have 2 bathrooms, but you do have a full kitchen and 4 beds

That is very good to know! Thank you!

we will be staying in all stars music suites in April and we will be at 4 adults and 2 children

I think the Suites at AS Music are just fine. The ones at AOA are overpriced. If I was to pay that type of price I would stay deluxe.

Just sayin..............

DITTO!

I am the self professed Queen of The Values, so I'm by no means a deluxe snob, but the only "never again" resort stay I've experienced was AoA.

The cabins were less per night for me with a pin code. And much closer to MK.

We would be sooo into the cabins if they only had a 2nd bath..
I think that is where Disney lacks,, they have great suites, deluxes etc.. for 5 or 6 people, but only one bath.... Kidani did it right, but $$$$$$

A second bath would be nice but not critical for our group. We can stagger and manage just fine. If we had more than two adults it'd be more of an issue.

I have looked at those more than once. I just can't do it, as the idea of having to take a bus to get to the park bus stops just makes me shudder.

We preferred the theming, pools, and food court at Art of Animation vs All Star (Movies). The biggest difference was the busses! When we were at Movies, the All Stars shared busses

That varies a lot. I've stayed at the All Stars 5 times, and each time each resort had their own bus way more than they shared. My last stay was 6 nights at the Sports a few months ago. I think we shared twice.

Agreed. When we were going every other weekend, we'd stay at Pop, and the bus situation was so much better.
