Best Value Resort? So many choices...
There are so many wonderful things about all of the resorts at WDW....
We have always stayed at the vacation club resorts, but since we are being more budget conscience, which value is the best? And which buidling specifucally in that value resort? Our children are 9,6,6 and 3 and while we like a little hustle and bustle, we also like a little peace and quiet in the mornings/evenings.
Thanks!
Many trips as a child '73-'92

I suggest choosing it on the theme you like.
We like the 101 Dalmations and Fantasmic so, so far ASMovies is my favorite. But I still need to visit ASSports & Music.

Although we love them all, POP is the best for us. Don't ask me why, I really could not tell you. We love the food court, the rooms, the pools, and the store.
Sports was the first value we stayed at. After years of spending $$$ jsut to sleep, DH suggested we try a value and we never looked back.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom
-
All Star Movies and Pop Century are the ones we prefer, because of all the connections to things our kids know and enjoy.

Definitely Pop Century. It's newer and is the only resort for the buses.

Stayed at ASMovies 8/2008...nice but they AS Resorts share buses. Staying at POP this time because they have their own buses.

Another vote for Pop Century. When we have stayed at All Stars it seems like you get alot of the young groups wandering from one resort to another because they are so close and they are more crowded than Pop. Also like posted above there are times the All Stars share a bus and Pop stands alone. As far as which section, we like the 50's section which is on the end nearest the main building. If you choose an All Star resort I would recommend Music in the Jazz Section. It is really pretty at night and we have stayed there twice with no problems.
My first home is in Coastal Georgia, 30 feet from the saltwater marsh, and 3.5 hours from WDW!My second home is the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort!CR,Poly,GF,BC,BW,WL,AKL,Dolphin,Swan,DL,CSR,POFQ,C BR,POP,AS,Vero.

go with POP. we have stayed there 3 times. the buses last week were much better than some of the other resorts
Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️
-
My vote is for the POP!
Clean
Very cute Disney theming
Colorful and fun
Buses are excellent and organized
The only drawback is that the walls are a little thin and you can hear toilets flush, but when you think about how much you paid, it doesn't bother you as much! Your in Disney, at a Disney resort for a fraction of the cost of a Deluxe!

Rather than voting for one, I would say that it really doesn't matter as long as you stay away from AS Sports. I say this simply because this is the one where all of the youth groups seem to stay...little league sports teams, cheerleading squads, etc. This means two things: 1. It's noisier, even later in the evenings, and; 2. the kids tend to be rougher on things, so it seemed a little more run down to us than the other ones.
We loved All-Star Movies, especially the Toy Story area. Andy's Room seen from the perspective of a toy was really cool.
2002 - 2022: 20+ visits (POR, BW, All Stars, VWL, CSR, BLT, BC, SSR, CB, Dolphin, OKW, Poly, offsite x8)

With a crew that size i would look at the family suites at all star music. They are very well set out. Mom and dad get a queen bed. it has plenty of room for four kids and a small kitchenette with micro and fridge (and coffee)
'76 offsite, '90 offsite, '03 Courtyard DTD, '04 offsite, '05 CBR, '05 POFQ solo, '06 Sports solo, '06 POFQ, '07 Pop, '09 offsite solo, '09 POFQ, '09 Music, '10 CS, '11 Pop, '12 Pop, '13 dolphin.

Currently the only option without getting adjoining rooms would be the family suites at the all star music..until the newest section across the lake from the pop is opened. There are no value resorts that will allow six persons in one room
