Coronado Springs Jr Suite or Art of Animation?

[mom23grlz]

Hi-hoping you all can help a girl out. We love to stay on property and need space to spread out with our family (aka we can't sleep in the same room as our kids). We usually stay in a 1 BR villa. I've always been able to get 30% off room only. I'm getting very impatient waiting for fall discounts and I'd like to go ahead and book something soon and AOA and CS are more budget friendly than our usual resort (at rack rate). So pros/cons of the resorts? Personal experiences with either or both? How are the buses? At SSR we've never waited longer than 15 minutes for a bus. How far are the bus stops from the rooms? Thanks in advance

The bus service is the same at all the resorts. I have stayed at many and never waited more that 15 minutes. If you like to be separate from your kids ( I know i do!) then I would not go with CSR. The rooms at CSR do not have balconies so you can't even leave the room to allow them to get to sleep. AOA would be a good option for you or the suites at ASmu which will probably be cheaper.Remember though that value resorts do not offer pool slides or hot tubs or room service.
Another option that you may consider is the cabins at FW - they sleep 6 and have a full kitchen. They are considerably cheaper than a 1 bed villa. They are also just a quick boat trip to the MK.
You could also look at renting DVC points from a member this can save a lot off rack rates but you are unable to make cancellations.
