POP Or Caribean?????????????

Well I just returned from CBR. Stayed in building 38 of South Trinidad. Excellent resort. Nice, calm and relaxing. But boy was it a pain to go to OPR.

If you end up there, don't even bother getting the Mugs. You'll more than likely under-use them by spending time at the parks or at the local pool rather than the one by OPR.

Getting to / from the parks was not much of an issue, but back and forth to OPR for food, gift shop, getting a cab, etc. was a pain in the but with DD4.

M.P.
 
OK!!!!! It's time to bash some of yall posting here:
First of all,we are staying at CBR this year in October.This will be our first time at CBR,and it seems that with this post as well as some others,that I am hearing different opinions about CBR.First of all,I don't mind the walking so much,if it means a nice quiet area,especially at night.Plus with all of the extra ammenities that are offered at CBR,that in itself is worth the extra walking,bus stops etc.After reading several other posts,I think we are going to have a great time at CBR.
Now,as for POP and all three of the ALL STAR Resorts,We have stayed at all four resorts and loved every minute of it.We have stayed at the ASMU three times!!! I don't know what some people think about "value " resorts,like they are nothing but a "hole in the wall","roach motel",or something,but at disney,nothing is done half way,or mediocre.Even their value resorts are top knotch!Yeah,maybe you don't have bike rentals,or hammocks to lie in,but who cares?The atmosphere at these resorts is very magical indeed!Each location is themed to that of its representation.Very cool indeed.The food courts are fantastic!Many choices of foods to pick from.Not a bad price,even for disney.Now to the crowds.Each resort is so big and spread out,that even if the resorts are crowded,it doesn't seem that way.It DOES depend on what time of the year that you go too.We go in October,and the crowds are minimal,plus the weather is excellent! Yeah,they allstar movies WILL be the most crowded at all times.WHY? Because of the disney-movie theme.FOR WHOM? Right.FOR KIDS! So think about one of the other value resorts if you go with older kids or no kids at all.When we stayed at ASMO,we enjoyed it just fine,but probably won't stay there again,and only because of the vast amount of smaller kids there with their families.POP is by far,the BEST value resort at disney.When that place was laid out and constructed,they improved on it from the mistakes from the allstar resorts.Bus cue lines are chained,and spread further apart,food court is bigger,arcade is bigger,check-in area and shop is bigger.This place is by far a better planned resort than the other three.
Now here's a tip:stay on the top floor and there is less foot traffic and less noise.Elevators DO work.
All in all,I just HAD to post a small portion of my opinion in reference to the posts that I have read.No,I am NOT bashing anyone whatsoever.Just wanted to approach the posts with a little different angle with my replies.We all have our own opinions about everything in life,and disney opinions are no different.I really do hope that I have helped in some way,to show that the value resorts are NOT some low-life places to stay.They REALLY are great resorts.
Yall have a nice day and a great stay at disney!!! I really mean that!

Way to go darel!
I have not stayed at POP ,but I have stayed at the Contempory,CBR,
All Star Movies,And Music.
I am 55 years old and travel several times a year. I often stay at 4 star hotels.
So the deluxe resorts do not have anything special for me.
All Star is like being in the heart of the Magic and that is where I want to be.

All Star Music is my favorite.It is quieter because more couples stay there.
When I am at Disney I do not spend a lot of time in my room. I am at the parks, dining, shopping,or expolring. I don't need a big room. The people,and CMs are friendly and I love watching the children having so much fun.
Darel is abolutly right! The Disney values are top notch.I prefer the All Star Resorts.
AND the theaming is pure Disney. :earsboy: :earsgirl:
My last 4 visits have been at The All Stars and this fall when we take dd,dsil, and our grandson age 3 we are staying at the All Stars Music. I thought about AKL and even though we can well afford AKL I just wanted Alex to experience the Disney Magic :wizard: at the All Stars on his first visit.
Where else can one find Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse at the pool?
Have a great time at Disney!
