Hi there just looking for some feed back on All Star Movies trying to decide to stay there or upgrade to Coronado Springs or Port New Orleans. Please help?

Thanks,

Depends on how much time you plan on spending in the room. If it's just a place to shopwer / sleep. ASMo will be just fine. If you want to relax and enjoy the resort, upgrade to POR or POFQ. POFQis my favorite moderate

[HiddenMickey]

I've only stayed in a moderate once. I've done values four times. I don't see the point in spending the extra for a moderate, since the beds are the same size....and I really only use the resort for a place to sleep, eat, and catch a bus. I liked the Movies resort. We stayed in a room in the Toy Story section and found it quite convenient.

I would save your money for souvenirs or a meal somewhere rather than for an upgrade.

Just wanted to say welcome!

We stayed at Movies in 10/02 and loved it. I stayed at POFQ in 7/05 and really don't see a reason to spend more on a moderate. Food court at Sports was better and we were in the Mighty Ducks Bldg which had it's own pool and a very short walk to the bus stop at Music. Great to have 2 different bus choices after a long day at the parks.

I started out staying at the value resorts (ASMovies three times!) and really enjoyed them.

Then I stayed at a moderate and fell in love with having a spa to soak away my aches and pains each evening. Plus, the beds are generally a little more firm (which I enjoy) and the double sink and curtain between the sinks and the room made a big difference for our family.

Although the rooms are roughly the same size, there's a definite difference in feel and I found that I really preferred it.

That said, if it was a choice between going/not going or having to scrimp to afford the vacation, I would definitely be **HAPPY** staying in value!!

We've stayed at ASMo twice. Our view is that the hotel room is a place to keep our clothes, shower and sleep. We would rather save the money or put it into something else. The service is fine nothing exceptional and the rooms are clean.

Our most recent stay wasn't as great as the first stay, but it was fine. I really loved the Toy Story section and would likely request that area over Fantasia in the future.

We've stayed at ASM, as well as PO. I love both...

Both my hubby and I are "pooh sized" and we sometimes end up sleeping in separate beds (we're used to a King Size bed)... I'd sleep with DD, and he'd get the bed to himself... but it was only because we had the option; if we didn't, it would have been OK.

I love the decor at ASM... PO is fine, and the dragon slide at the pool is fantastic, as are the beignets... and having beignets by the dragon slide while the kids play in the pool, and an adult drink to boot is fantastic!

I stayed at Movies on my honeymoon. We loved it! I spend so much time in the parks that a Value resort makes sense for me (and my DH). The rooms are just big enough for the two of us.

Have fun!

We were ASMO in'02 and loved it. We were in the Dalmation Bldg, and that was super. Right next to the Duck Pond pool, short walk to food court and main pool, and if you cut across the parking lot you can get onto the ASMU buses. We prefer thr moderates since our DD is a teenager now, and have adopted CBR as our new home resort.

We stayed at the All Stars Movies in June of 2006. WE were in the Mighty Ducks section. We were a short walk to the restaurant, bus and store. We were right by a pool and laundry(how I just love doing laundry on vacation-HA!) All in all I thought it was nice and would stay there again. Welcome to the boards!!!!

[TinkerBellBride]

When we go for two weeks or more at a time, we stay at the AS Resorts... I think that it does come down to your comfort level in the room - how many will be in your party, what amenities you will be using in the resort, what your plans are...
If you are just sleeping there, AS is the way to go.. if you are looking for a little more in a resort, than CS or FQ is great. It looks like you already stayed at the CS, I would maybe try out another resort if your budget allows.
Those extra sinks do make a difference!!!

I agree !!!!!!!!!

Well, we've done ASMO twice, Dalmations and Toy Story bldgs., the POP, CBR, and POR. We loved them all, rooms were comparable, grounds and themeing were all fab, so I can't say. For value, the values are tops, for all, I could go either way. If you can afford it, the moderates are wonderful. Though I will say, we thought the people at the values were a tad friendlier! Go figure! That said, have a great time! Ruth
