| Pop vs. All Star Sports I'm trying to decide if I want to book our stay at the All Star Sports or the POP century. I have stayed at the Sports 3 times previously (mainly because of being first on the bus stop) I am taking 3 little ones (5, 3/12. and 8 mos) And I think the Themeing might be better at the Pop. We are going in Sept. so I would want to be 1st on the bus route. I am also looking at the kid friendly food court. Does anyone have thoughts on which has the better bus system? Food court? Also have they redone any of the Sports? It was looking alittle worn.

| I stayed at Pop last October and was very happy with my stay! Pop has it's own buses, so you don't have to worry about what stop you are. However, the Pop bus stop at each park is the farthest away from the entrance, so take that into consideration with 3 little ones at the end of a long park day. If you have more specific questions PM me.

| We enjoyed POP better than All Star Sports, mostly because of the theming. As others mentioned, it has its own buses and the food court is nice and spacious. We also had the good fortune of our building being closer to the main POP entrance. At All Star Sports we had to trek all the way across the football field, past another pool and it seemed to take forever... not great at the end of a tiring day. Be sure to request a building close to the bus stop/main entrance if you want to minimize the hiking!

| I love the theming of POP, the TIE DYE cheesecake in the food court, and the fact that it does not share busses with any other resort. That said I think sports is just as nice a resort and which ever you choose you'll enjoy your stay. Have fun deciding.

| I thought the resorts were pretty equal in most ways. My son definately preferred Pop, mostly for the the Hippy Dippy Pool and frozen Coke . Bus service was about the same, as were the food courts. We had a recently refurbished room at Sports this past March and it was very nice. All in all, I'd lean slightly towards Pop due to the lack of large groups of teens at Sports. We had trouble enjoying the pool because it was shoulder to shoulder with energetic young adults, and if you hit the food court at the wrong time it was not fun, and our kids were 9 & 12.

| I have stayed @ Pop and ASMo. I would MUCH rather stay @ Pop. I like the theming better. I prefer their food court. Pop's bus system is SO much better than the All Star's. Buses are the only reason I will not stay @ an All Star resort again. My son also preferred Pop over the All Star's. Hope this helps :-) |

| I believe the AS Sports just had their refurb finished in February.

| Pop doesn't have to share buses with any other resorts, which was the main selling point for me!
