our last night was at All Star Music 
scared1: UGH more later on this ) Let me say that our 2 br villa was 8621 in the GS section and it was PERFECT. Clean, not a complaint to be had. We loved this GS location....we were very happy. The busses were fine EXCEPT FOR OUR FIRST NIGHT TO MK. OMG we were going to the MVMCP and we got to the bus at 3:55 and waited for 50 min. for a bus to come. I called transportation and so did another family when we were all standing there. I felt so bad for the people at Congress Park and The Springs.....they waited over an hour and then all of the people at The Springs bus stop were told to wait on another bus. That was our only bus problem we had for 7 nights. NOW we never did get our last night (Thanksgiving night) on the wait list so we booked a "family suite" at ASMU and BOY WHAT A SHOCK TO OUR SPOILED DVC BODIES. We were so disappointed in that place. We had never stayed at a value in all of our years of trips. We have stayed in Deluxe, DVC and a couple of moderates and this was just a shock to our system. I know that sounds snobby 
but we own DVC for a reason and this just sealed that deal. For us personally.... we realized that we will have to splurge for something much nicer if we can't get all of our DVC nights. We are lucky in that we can also book at Shades of Green which is very nice and we consider that to be a deluxe too.....so that will be our old stand by from now on. I don't want to slam the values ...they were just not our cup of tea. 
We arrived on Thursday Nov. 20th and have done this same Nov. trip 3 other times. We felt this time however.... the crowds were much better than last Nov. Now we did end our park days on Wed. Nov. 26th so I am sure Thanksgiving on....is very crowded but even last year T and W were pretty packed and this time they weren't. Not sure what was up because I am pretty sure most resorts were at capacity so maybe less locals or less people staying outside of WDW.
