I have gone two years in a row in December, once the first week and the other the second week. Both times the Pop Warner groups were there,, I think they are there most of December and the College eliminations start in January. I was there in January & experienced that too.
The All Stars are were the majority stay.. Last December I was at the POR and they were there as well, and in the French Quarter. I asked check in to please put me away from the groups, and they did a good job. I was on the third floor of Magnolia Terrace with other families..but the kids still ran around alot, but not so much on my floor. I often wondered where the chaperones were. They were using a slippery when wet sign to skate board down the bannisters. An accident waiting to happen. I had to tell them not to do that (The mom in me ya know) cause they could get real hurt and fly into other people as well.
I didnt like being at the AS Music while they were there..Nothing against the kids, but I come from NYC and I live with crowds and noise. I didnt want to experience that on my vacation. There were tons of pre teens all over..it was like being in a Jr HS. Good thing I split my stay and only had two nights there...I wanted to experience the All Stars after staying at POR. I wont do that again.
When you check in,,ask the CM to put you away from the groups, if they happend to be at your resort. I doubt many of them will be at a deluxe. I was told that when pop century opens,,that will be the facility they (Pop Warner) will house many of their groups along with the other All Stars.
