Value Resort Experience /Help Needed

[disnut8]

My parents are 69 and 73 and they absolutely love POP.
They would definitely choose it over the couple of other Disney resorts they have stayed in which includes AOA and CSR.
My mom loves the 50's section and "her" bowling pin pool lol.
I'd suggest a preferred room but NOT preferred pool view.
Honestly I personally wouldn't recommend a moderate for those not looking for a hike.
We find there's much more walking involved with moderates.

Totally agree with bolded.

If you're wantto stay at a true value resort, I take my 65+parents to sports and request the football or baseball buildings.short walk compared to all the other stars! The baseball is standard too!

We are also older. While I don't mind Pop, DH won't return there because he absolutely HATED the bus lines in the hot sun.

Many good points here. I love Pop...have stayed there many times. My favorite area is the 60's area, bldg 4, facing the lake. It's a standard view, but the walk isn't bad to the food court/transportation. I just returned from a stay there...I was in the 80's section, bldg 7, facing the lake/parking lot. It was incredibly quiet, but it was a bit of a hike to the food court. And don't get me started on ASMusic.....I've stayed in Jazz, before it became suites, and the last time I was in Country Fair...man, I'm not sure I was still on WDW property!!! The walk was awful! I'm 67, and do at least 17,000 steps a day at WDW, so a bit of walking isn't a huge deal for me. But, if you just want to run out and grab a coffee and some toast? Yeah, not happening! At least at the moderates I can have coffee in my room!!!

I would go with Pop in a preferred location. That will put them fairly close to the main areas. If not there, then POFQ.....I love PoR, it's my favorite non-DVC place to stay. But, man, it's spread out. Not as bad as CBR but it can be a long hike to breakfast!!!!
