I am booking a vacation for my family, plus for my sister's family. She doesn't have a computer.
We are staying at POFQ, but my sister is staying at ASMov because it's cheaper.
My sister's mother in law just got back from a week long Disney vacation. She had stayed at ASMov in the 101 Dalmatians building.
Mother in law says that it was the worst hotel she ever stayed in when it came to noise. Not one night did she get to sleep before 2am because of noise. Doors were being slammed all the time. She said people were hanging out in front of the guest rooms goofing around until 2am. They were screaming and yelling and acting like fools. She said when it did quiet down you could hear other guests' tvs and music. She said that someone must have been bouncing a ball off the wall in the next room, too.
I asked my sister's mother in law if they complained. She said they tried several times to call the front desk, but no one would answer. They ended up going down the next morning to complain, but the same thing happened the next night.
She told me that they couldn't enjoy the parks because they were so tired. She said she got sick because of lack of sleep. When they did fall asleep after 2am when it quieted down, they couldn't get up in time to enjoy the park earlier. She said the loud people didn't even get up until at least noon.
This lady travels quite a bit, and says this resort was the loudest place she's ever stayed. She told my sister to stay offsite. It's cheaper, plus it would probably be quieter. I don't know.
I've read lots of threads on here about ASMov. I'm just not sure what to think. Is this just a rare occurance that my sister's mother in law would have such a terrible time for 7 nights in a row? They are usually really easy going people. I was surprised.
When my sister booked her room she just asked for non-smoking. Should she call back and request a specific location to try to avoid the noise situation? My niece is a very light sleeper and gets sick a lot.
Would they be better off staying at Pop Century? If so, is there a quieter section we could request?
I see that Pop Warner is scheduled to be during part of her stay. She's concerned about that, too, but won't pay any extra to stay at a moderate resort.
Can anyone give me some advice?
I really thank you. I didn't think that booking a vacation for someone else could be so time consuming.

How horrible for them. But we have also always been on the back side of the building. I dont know if that has anything to do with it, but we have never had any excessive noise in our rooms at all. In fact weve had barely any noise(other than our own kids, LOL!).
