We were supposed to stay at POP in October however since we have a European trip next month and a couple things around the house that needs to be done my husband stated we would need to pay less for hotel and I refuse to stay offsite so I chose ASMu, it’s $414 cheaper then POP. We stay standard pool view there but I have noticed that’s not an option here so booked standard. What I’m wondering is how far is the walk from the furthest building to the food court/busses? What would be the best building to request? Besides the skyliner is there much of a difference? I know the rooms are refurbed like POPs. I’m just hoping I didn’t make a mistake as POP is our go to and has been for many years.
All stars are absolutely worth the savings over pop.
The standard music rooms are quite far back, but I feel like pop century is a big resort too and you could end up walking the same if you are in the further buildings.
I think country building is furthest building but if you're in the back corner of any, you'll be far. I don't think it matters which building to request, it's a linear resort so they're all somewhat far.
The rooms are exactly the same.
I've stayed at pop and while the skyliner is a beautiful ride over, time and time again it's been confirmed to me that the Disney buses are faster and more efficient timewise.
10 minute bus from resort to epcot.
Or 30 minutes skyliner at pop.
Plus I was a bit impatient & annoyed with epcot skyliner situation after fireworks. it wasn't any faster or more efficient than the bus, and I think the epcot after firework bus situation is one of the worst.
Anyways, I think the $414 savings is well worth it. you won't be disappointed.
I also like that the all stars are smaller resorts compared to pop.
