It seems all the standard Value resorts have their pros and cons making much harder to decide since each resort seems to have a pro/con tradeoff.
Well here is a list of what I've been reading through reviews or are pretty obvious as to the pros/cons that I know of regarding the regular Value resorts (which will be the range I must stick with due to price). Now I know the All Star resorts are a bit cheaper but suppose we take price out of the equation as I figure this out.
AoA (TLM) - I originally was going to go with this resort since it's less than a year old and is pretty clean with a great atmosphere. But it has one pretty major flaw...the TLM area is the farthest from the main building which will mean the greatest amt of walking. This is a con especially since the trip I am planning will be bus-dependent.
All Stars - Don't know about the cleanliness of the three resorts. I remember the food court being pretty crowded when I stayed at ASMo in 2007. Biggest con will be shared buses with three resorts.
Pop Century - I've been hearing that this resort suffers from some cleanliness issues (and some 2012 reviews confirm this). However I hear this bus system is pretty good due to not having to share. The tradeoff however is that many reviews say the food court is incredibly crowded at peak mealtimes and we'll probably be doing breakfast alot in the food court.
I'm willing to pay the little extra for a preferred room on any property if it will keep us near the buses. But I worry about waiting around alot for buses and dealing with the food court in the morning. As you can see none of the three choices guarantee all the pros. So I ask you which would you think is the best tradeoff for a party that must rely on the Disney buses for a 6 day vacation?
