which disney value resort

[kgarrigos]

Hi All

I am planning on doing 1 night at a disney value resort so i can get the dsiney bands and more importantly the 60 day fast pass booking , but Im wandering which is the best value resort and for what reasons , any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

Well I think they are similar in what they offer, so in which case you could base it off price (although there is likely to be little difference).

I have been looking at them lately as we are probably going to spend arrival night in one next year. I think Pop Century rooms look a bit more up to date than the All Stars, but I think we will probably go for Art of Animation as we like the resort theming.

There will, by the way, be very little advantage to 60 day FPs, the ones that are hard to get are not usually available on the first few days of a holiday and as you will only be able to book for two days, you will probably only get things you could get at 30 days anyway.

Art of animation has great theming and a fabulous food court. I just love it!

we stayed at All Star Movies in a preferred room last November that was newly renovated and it was great! The food court is huge and grab and go was really good

Agreed! Pop Century and Art of Animation look nicer than the All Stars resorts to me...they've never appealed. We are looking at staying at a value resort for our holiday in the future and have decided that Art of Animation is probably the nicest (we have also visited this one before) in preference of the All Stars! We love the classic Disney theming!

So the 60 day fastpass loophole has been closed, you only get 60 day advance booking for the length of your stay (so 1 night = 2 days). As for the best value it depends, AoA have family suites which can sleep a larger group in several rooms, pop has more adult theming and lovely new rooms, ASmovies now have the same room style as pop with the pull down second bed. ASmusic and sports are in bad need for the rooms refurbing, we were at sports in april and it felt very dated! Pop and AoA will be sharing the skyliner station from late September too so that will be an added bonus of staying at these - expect the prices to reflect that though, especially for the first year or two while people decide if they like it or not. If you are looking for somewhere to stay with the 60 day fp window then some of the Bonnet creek and hotel boulevard resorts have this too, you would have to buy the magic bands but would get a much nicer room for a similar price to the values and the benefits of the 60 day fp+.

just back from Pop Century, we decided to do our last 3 nights there. had stayed at Coronado Springs for the first 7 nights.

loved Pop Century, not too large, easy to get the the food court, refillable drinks, bus stops and pools as resort not that big. lovely grounds

in the room there was a big double bed and a second one that was a murphy bed, it folded up against the wall and then became a dining table which was great during the day as the room was more spacious that way. I also think that Pop Century and AoA get less of the big school trips
