This will be our 3rd September staying at the All Stars.
The last two times we stayed there during
free dining I found the buses were running very well.
We stay for a week -10 days.
Last year the buses came about every 10 minutes and our All Star Music bus only shared with Movies 1 time on the way to the parks. That was the only time we shared a bus on the way to the parks. And the reason we went to Movies was because that morning our bus was less than half full. The bus before ours had pulled just a couple minutes before ours came.
On the way back sometimes we shared but it was not a big deal. Just a couple extra minutes.
------------------------------------------------------------
To me Bus Sharing at the All Stars is really a non issue.
In the mornings during Park opening hours each All Star usually has a dedicated bus.
During mid day it is usually just our stop and maybe one more on the way to the parks. On the way back sometimes it is all 3 but often Sports and Music share and Movies has it's own bus back. Each of the All Stars usually has it's own dedicated bus back from the MK.
That is a big plus. It seems like the Music bus stop usually has the shortest of the three All Star bus lines.
I guess some people who stay at POP see all 3 All Star names on the return sign of our bus stop when they head to the POP bus stop and think All Stars also has 3 stops on the way to the park.
(Even when we stop at another AS resort to load up it has not taken more than 5 minutes and we are on our way!)

That being said I think that $228 is a great price for SSR plus you would also get to stay at a Deluxe with Deluxe amenities!
Have fun at Disney wherever you choose to stay!
