question regarding hotels

[m777a]

I live 100 miles away from Disney and am a Fla. Seasonal Passholder. In the past 20 months, the family has been at Disney at least 10 times with most of the stays consisting of a night or two at the All Star or Pop Century. I have never stayed at a moderate resort. We spend very little time at the hotel since we are in the park as much as possible. The hotel is used to sleep and shower. We don't even use the pool since we have one in our backyard. During the last few trips, especially at Pop Century, we have noted how noisy the rooms are at the value resorts. If someone is flushing a toilet or showering above your room or next to it, it sounds as if the person is in your bathroom. Are the moderate resorts any better regarding the sound problems?

One other thing. Last Sunday we decided to go to MK. It was supposed to have a heat index of 94. However, God smiled on us and clouds were present the entire day. It felt like the low to mid 80's. The night was beautiful also. The crowds were small. We arrived at 2:00 and took the train towards Splash Mountain to get a fast pass. In the meantime we rode Pirates of Carribean (ice cold air conditioned) twice as there were no lines, rode Jungle Cruise, and then the Magic Carpets. After that we ate a burger at Pecos and then got another fast pass for Thunder Mountain RR. The fast pass return for RR was only 30 minutes later than when we got it. We then went and used our FP to Splash Mountain and then got on RR a few minutes later. The wait time for the next FP was reduced to under an hour so we took the train back and got a FP for Space Mountain. We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to ride Space M. within 45 minutes. While waiting for 45 minutes to ellapse we were able to hop on Buzz (no lines) and Snow White. We then went back to Space and rode it and when we got off we were able to get another FP for Space. During the rest of the day and night, my daughter was able to get autographs in the Toontown tent, ride the Toontown coaster at least 3 times, ride the Carousel twice, ride the Peter Pan ride, etc. We also watched the fireworks at 10:00 and they were great as always. Not bad for an 8 hour day on a Sunday. It will probably be much busier from now, especially Memorial Day weekend and July 4th.

I have never stayed at the value resorts. I have always stayed at PORC and we never had any noise from the other rooms. Occasionally someone would walk by the front of the room talking loudly and you might hear that, but overall I would say I was never disturbed by other visitors. I have heard from others that the values resorts are quite noisey....for what it's worth.

Thanks for the info.

We never heard other guests at CBR (a moderate), my mom and sister stayed in Port Orleans a few months after we all stayed at Pop and they said it was quiet, and we have stayed deluxe at WL and it was quiet. None were as loud as Pop. Now, we make a true effort to see if we can find a trace of any noise at other resorts to compare to

As far as values go, we thought ASMu and ASSp were much less noisy than POP. We will definitely go back to any of the AllStars, but we will probably not go back to POP. Plus, we liked the theming better at the AllStars. JMO

As far as mods go, we have stayed at CSR and POFQ. We really liked them both and will definitely go back. They were both very quiet and had beautiful theming.

I don't know if it matters or not, but we've only stayed in king rooms at the mods and standard rooms at the values. HTH
