We booked a week at Pop in January. My wife and I had stayed at ASMusic a while back, but this year we chose Pop because of the dedicated bus line and also because our son is coming for his first time, and the theming is just kid friendlier. It is also slighter newer than the AS resorts, and I'm hoping we will get a refurbished room as well. Price wasn't that much more than the AS resorts when I priced the different promotional packages.
Interestingly enough, I was checking to see if prices had changed since our booking, and for Pop it was the same, but I saw Coronado Springs was available for our same dates, and if we switched our 6 day hoppers to 7 day 1 park tickets, we could book CSR for only about $200 more! But after speaking it over with my wife and friends who had stayed at both resorts recently, they all said stay with Pop. Yes, for only 200 bucks more you can upgrade from value to moderate, but CSR is really big, feels like a convention hotel, and while the pools are nicer, how much time will you spend poolside in January? We decided to take that $200 and spend it on Memory Maker instead, since it is Branden's first time.
I still wonder if we should switch though...
