Ok, we are planning our trip for next august. I know I just got back yesterday!! LOL
Anyhow, which would you rather do? Port Orleans FQ or two rooms at All Star Movies?? I'm thinking the two rooms because we'd have more room and two bathrooms, but also thinking, hmmm, never stayed in a moderate before, they have nicer pools??? Which would you do? I'll have me, dh, ds 15, ds10, dd10 staying in the room.
POFQ does not have room for 5 people. POR does. POR has some rooms that have two double beds and a trundle. I have read the trundle is kinda small for an older child.
I would go with 2 rooms at The All Stars. Thats 4 double beds and 2 yes two bathrooms!
Here is the map of All Movies.

The Fantasia Buildings are the preferred buildings.
The All Star Movie Fantasia pool has Mickey.
It is a great place to stay .
It is like being in the middle of a Disney Movie Fantasyland..
The All Star resorts are all within walking distance of each other and you are welcome to use any of the pools at any of the ALL Stars.
The buses are wonderful.
Bus rides are quite short from the ALL Stars according to PassPorter.com
All Star Buses-CBR buses---POP buses--PO buses--- Contemporary
MK 20 min---- 20 min-----25 min------10 min---20 min(mono)
Epcot 10 min-- 15 min-----20 min------10 min---15 min
MGM 10 min----12 min-----15 min------15 min---20min
AK 10 min------20min-------15 min----15 min---20 min
DTD 15 min----20 min------35 min-----15 min---35 min
It only takes 10 minutes to get to Epcot,MGM and AK from All Stars.
MK is 20 min away. That's the same amount of time it takes on the monorail from the Contemporary.
Also All Star is closer to the main road to get to parks and thats why bus rides are shorter from there than from POP.
I have visited WDW more than a dozen times with the 1st time in Oct. 1971. It was brand new. I've stayed at FW, Disney Inn, a few the of Hotels on hotel Blvd., CBR and the towers at the Contemporary. I got to see the MK from my balcony at the Contemporary and I'm happy I got to experience it once. I just prefer the All Star Resorts.
The theaming is pure Disney.
I am 55 years old and travel several times a year. I often stay at 4 star hotels.
So the deluxe resorts do not have anything special for me.
All Star is like being in the heart of the Magic and that is where I want to be.
My last 4 visits have been at The All Stars and this fall when we take dd,dsil, and our grandson age 3 we are staying at the All Stars Music. I thought about AKL and even though we can well afford AKL I just wanted Alex to experience the Disney Magic
at the All Stars on his first visit.
Where else can one find Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse at the pool?
Have a great time at Disney!
