Difference between All star Movies and Pop Century? What are the differences, if any?
 
I have never stayed at any of them but have heard that Pop is better as well as they have their own bus to get to the parks
 
I've not stayed at Pop but didn't find the All Stars buses to be a problem.

They are both similar, the rooms are the same size. POP is newer and does not share buses, the all stars share them with each other, but POP is bigger. Perosnally I like the POP food court better and the themeing, but in reiality they are very similar.
 

we love the all stars, we have only ever stayed at sports and the buses only visit all the all stars when it isnt that busy. We go in Jan/Feb and have never had a problem with the buses, although we have only ever stayed at the sports and this is the first of the 3 all star resorts so i suppose we get the bus first! I have never stayed at Pop as the all stars is near enough so that we can walk to blizzard beach and winter/summerland mini golf... oh and there is a macdonalds over the road for those craving fast food! :rotfl: :rotfl:
 
go for pop verity, you won't be dissapointed ;)

are you planning a trip ????
 
Another vote for pop.We stayed for a week out our 2 weeks in november and it is great.Food court is excellent and so is the shop.Greta pool and you are surrounded by disney.It is also newer than all stars.I would lik to try alstar movies if I had to choose but wouldn't hesitate going back to pop.POR in 11 days :cool1: :cool1: :banana: :banana: :banana: :dance3:
 
Another vote for POP here too. I like it because it is a newer resort. It has a nice gift shop, great food court, and a nice jogging/walking trail around the lake.
 
Ive stayed at both Verity, and like them both as well, not a great deal of difference, we stayed at the Sports and the Movies at the All Stars, the buses at the Music and the Movies do seem to share, however its rare for the bus's at the Sports to share, but if they do the Sports is normally the first pick up and drop off. The pop doesnt share its buses with anyone of course, however we did find longer queues here, but they were handled very well with extra bus's.

Dining is better in my opinion at the Pop with far more choice than the All Stars, but we did like the fact that you can walk to Mcdonalds from the All Star Sports for a change.

The rooms are almost identical with the exception of a bigger TV in the Pop and a slightly lower drawers in between the beds.

The theming at all of them is brilliant, I love them both and would stay at either again.

Hope that helps:goodvibes
 
As far as the buses at AS go, they only seem to share at slacker times-at park opening and closing its usually one bus per resort-with the added advantage that if you stay at either Movies or Sports and that bus is late, you can hop on the Music bus to go back to the hotel-its only a quick walk from Music to either of the other 2.
 
Ohh happy planning.

We loved ASMO but next year are also staying at pop so I cant compare just yet but Ive heard good reviews on both.:goodvibes
 
Anyone know the difference between a standard room and a prefferred room?

the prefferd rooms are overlooking the pool area and closer to the food court.standard rooms overlook carparks and grased areas and are further away from food court go to http://www.willcad.org/disney_maps.html find your resort and the prevered rooms will be highlighted
 
Thanks for your replies. I think we'll go for pop Century!

I've never stayed on site before. How often are the buses? If you drive, do you have to pay for parking at the parks?

i found the buses to be very reliable, we had to stand a few times but the kids were offered seats more often than not :)
 
I preferred ASMo, thebusses weren't a problem at all (thanksgiving week) and everywhere was a quick walk away, however at POP we were too far from the food court to really make use of the refillable mugs, it took ages to walk to our rooms after a long day in the parks
 
of the all stars movies is the best of the 3
