Just got back from 13 days at Sports. Received a room in my requested room range! Home Run section, first floor. AWESOME location, loved it. Busing was amazing, getting to and from the parks just seemed so much faster than POP. 7 minutes to and from AK, perfect, since it's our favorite park. We did share a bit with the other resorts, but mostly during off times. Still was rare to have a full bus. We I think we only waited more than 15 minutes a handful of times. We would also hopped on Music's bus a couple times since the HR section is right across the parking lot from Music and wasn't much different from our walk from Sports drop off.
We did Hollywood Studios several times, and didn't think the walk was bad. One hint I would give is to check the bus times on the app, it will say ETA Pickup at Sports: 2:13, Arrival at HS: 2:35 --- gave us an idea if one was on the way. One time, there was shift change and as a driver was waiting on his replacement, he opened his bus to anyone waiting on a closeby bus, so you could sit in the AC -- was only in it like 2 mins til the AS Resort bus came, but thought it was a very nice gesture. Again, I didn't think the walk was bad. We did it a few times in the middle of the day as we would often be done with the park between 11-12. But, I'm a country girl and walking anywhere tends to be a distance, and is normal. My kids' bus stop has been 1/4-1/2 mile away over the years.
Pretty happy with the food court for the few times we used it, their burger was very good. A little cramped at the drink station, both sides were open the whole time I was there, I originally thought part was blocked off, but when I made my way over there it was open (and empty! score!)
Mousekeeping was awesome. I know someone above said they weren't getting enough towels and washrags -- ours went overboard. LOL, but I'd rather have too many than not enough. The baseball pool was awesome, we never even went to the Surf's Up pool. My only complain would be, I wish they had more tables with umbrellas, or just umbrellas, more shade would be nice.
They were painting outside at the Football section a few days, and trimming hedges.
Elvis Stitch on Luau day was the only character we saw.
Booked a bounce back trip for next August!
