POFQ vs. ASMU suite

[Kriii]

I am booked in the POFQ during August value season and am considering a switch to ASMU family suites. I am travelling w/2 teen girls and am thinking they would like the extra room and privacy, especially since one is a friend of my dd not actual family. Can anyone comment? I have not stayed at POFQ so am unsure how snug 3 would fit in a room. ASMU was finewhen we visited but I was in a regular room not a family suite. Does anyone know the cost of the ASMU suite (I couldn'tfind it on Disney's website and their office is closed for the night). THanks!

The Family Suites start at $184 (rack rate)during value season.
Sometimes AAA and Disney may have discounts on the suites.
Some DIS members reported they recieved 40% off a Family Suite.
Keep your eyes open and you be able to snag a great deal.

The homepage of the DIS has room rates, room types, seasons ,and how many persons each room will sleep.

Family Suite info:

DH and I stayed in a Family Suite at All Star Music ( a value resort) in Sept. of 2006.

We really enjoyed the Queen size bed, the kitchenette with the microwave, having a sofa and cushioned chair to sit on and relax after a day at the parks before retiring for the evening.

I thought the pullouts very comfortable.

They are designed so the back cushion and seat cushion of the pullout support the pullout. There is no metal bar to hurt the sleepers back.

Info thread--Pullouts in Family Suites at ASMU with photos of how the pullout is supported.

Here is the layout of the Family Suites:

They:

-Sleep up to 6 (plus one child under age 3 in a Pak-n-Play crib)
-Studio amenities and separate sleeping areas giving more privacy than a standard room.
-Queen bed, full-size pullout sofa, convertible ottoman & chair sleepers (4 separate sleepers)
-Private master bedroom and family room have 27” flat CRT TV and high speed Internet access.
-Kitchenette with microwave, small refrigerator (4.3 cu. ft) and coffee pot
-Two-full bathrooms


Here is my review of the Suites:

I think the teenagers would like the space. You might enjoy the extra bathroom.

I think I'll call tomorrow and see if there is a suite available. Thanks so much to all who replied!
