Short November stay here - so what would you do?


Have stayed at both before - but it has been while for Music. Will have a car so transportation won't be an issue -

How bad do you think the food court at Music will be since Sports food court will be closed for refurb. I know that Sports will have the grab and go stuff but what about the drink station will they have one also, or will the Sports people have to come over to Music/Movies for drinks also?
 
I would do Pop I cant even imagine sharing a food court with that many extra people. It's crowed with out sharing .
 
Here's my thought on the issue. I'm staying at ASMu in Sept. so many pple are worried about crowding and are switching over to POP. I think POP will be at full capacity, ASSp won't be terribly busy at all with everyone moving around so I don't see the food court at ASMu or Movies being any worse than summertime crowds or what POP will be like. Just my opinion. Could be totally wrong.

I agree we are staying at the Movies. I was initially concerned, but decided that we do not plan on using the resort FC very often except for the drink station.

I have often seen long lines and no tables at POP. I just try to avoid the busy times. If I were staying at Sports I most likely would eat in the parks or try other resorts for food. I do not think I would go to Music or Movies.
 

This is a question I have, as well. DD and I are booked at Music, but wonder about crowds. So we think about moving to POP. Originally, we wanted a standard at ASMo, but there are no standard rooms available. We aren't willing to pay for preferred, because we want the Mighty Duck section. Music is the closest to Sports, so I think food traffic will be less at Movies. Nobody wants to go further for food. I'll be scoping things out shortly and will make mine final decision then. I think I'll ask the travel company CM, about capacity at other resorts, when I call them to make a payment.
 
Something to keep in mind is that POP has around 1000 rooms more than Music to start with. We've stayed at both (during summer) and to me everything at POP felt packed with people the entire time. Music wasn't like that. Considering that people will be booking POP to avoid SPorts and Music would be a factor as well I think.
 
Does anyone have any idea if Sports will have a drink station set up anywhere at all. I don't mind people coming to Music but if they have no drink station set up at Sports at all - Music may be a pain. And I feel sorry for the people booked at Sports.
 
I've stayed at Music twice, AoA twice and Pop 5 or 6 times. Just stayed at Music in May...first time was back in Dec '03. I was very disappointed with my stay at Music! It was just sort of blah to me. I guess I'm used to being over-stimulated at Pop, but I had much better stays at Pop. I never had an issue with the food court being crowded. And the buses were just fine.
I would recommend going with Pop.
 
I prefer Music or Movies over POP but if you are interested in a newer resort POP is the way to go.
