resort hop the values

[jessica29]

Does anyone do this? Seems like most people try the deluxes only.

I am staying at BC, but the kiddos would love to stay at values. I would like to maybe hop the all stars and pop century, but will not have a car. That way they can see all the cool over sized stuff.


Anyone know the best way to see them from the BC using transportation. We basically want to see the property and pools and hop to another. Anyone know how long this may take.

From the BC you could walk or take the boat to DHS and then get on any value bus from there. To get from resort to resort though you are going to have to take two buses, transferring at a park.

Maybe you should think about cabs to go from resort to resort its going to save a ton of time.

At the last resort just go back to DHS and then back to your resort.

As the pp said go in to either park (Epcot or DHS) and catch the bus.

That's actually a good idea for the young ones. I wouldn't mind seeing all the oversized icons either. We would probably catch something to snack on or eat at the food court too.

The best way would be to walk or boat to DHS and catch one of the resort buses there. Or if you're leaving a park, get on one of their buses. You would have to transfer to a bus from a park, because no hotels have resort to resort buses. Once you're done at that value resort, you'd then have to take a bus to a park and transfer to the next resort, etc. There's not alternate transportation at the values and I don't believe any of them would be in walking distance. So, it would be a long tedious process and frankly, I don't think you'd spend much time at each resort anyhow. You'd spend longer traveling. I would probably pick one value at check it out rather than doing all of them - I think Pop is probably one of the better ones but if your kids are in sports, music or movies - then one of the All Stars might be better. One reason people do deluxe hopping is because they are easy to get to - you can monorail between the MK resorts and walk/boat between the Epcot ones. Not so easy for values and mods, unfortunately.

okay, I thought some of the park buses at the all stars shared thus we could hop on MK bus for example and go from movies to sports, etc. I could have sworn that was the biggest complaint.

I would hop a bus to All-Star Sports and then take a leisurely walk from Sports to Music to Movies.

The walk itself takes about 15 minutes without any "sightseeing".

There are wonderful arcades,merchandise shops, and food courts in each Resort.

Be sure to check out the Pools-each All-Star has 2 and they are all wonderfully themed.

Once you are finished at Movies,just hop a bus to whichever park you want to go to OR if you want to go to Pop Century from Movies,I would hop on a DHS bus-POP is only a 5 minute bus ride from DHS.

I will usually visit the All-Stars after a morning at AK since the bus ride isn't that long. I'll do lunch at Sports then sometimes walk from Sports to Music and Movies. Then if I'm staying at BW or BC I'll catch the bus to DHS and walk or boat back to my resort.

My first solo trip was at Sports, so even now that I'm a DVC member I still like to go back and visit.

What'd I'd do is Hop a bus from a park to Either POP or Sports. Vist POP and than hop bus to AK. Once at AK hop bus to Sports from Sports you can walk between resorts to Music, than Movies. Once done at Movies Hop bus to a park or DTD than go back to your resort from that point.

You may wish to do POP one day and All Stars another.

The three all stars are right next to each other. Boat to dhs, then bus to ASSports. You can walk sports, music, then movies. At movies get a bus to AK or whatever park comes first then bus to Pop. Afterwards Pop to dhs then boat back to BC.
