@waltdisfam4 - these are just my thoughts:
AKL: A nice place to visit but I have no desire to stay there - especially without a savannah view. It just seems so remote from most of the parks. And if the food is not a draw for you (to me, that's the most appealing thing), I would definitely pass.
YC - I've stayed at BC twice and the Epcot resorts area is my favorite location in all of WDW. I would stay there more if not for the $$$.
POFQ - Here comes my plug: I've stayed there 4 times, love it. Pretty, quaint and charming, feels like a little neighborhood to me. I really have no beef in general with the buses; you can have good or bad experiences anywhere. Haven't stayed there since 2016, but in the occasional instances of sharing with POR, POFQ was always picked up/dropped off first. Personally, I would want my own bed, however.
POP - Had my first POP. stay in 2017 and am going back next year. I chose it to save $ and was very happy there. I am a "park person," and not concerned about pools. I'm excited for the new rooms and super-pumped for the Skyliner!! My bus experience was good, despite one long wait trying to leave DHS at midday. Again, I'm in the camp of "don't choose a resort for bus service, it can vary anywhere" I would look at POP this way: the money you save could go toward some other splurge / special experience on the trip.
There's my 2 cents.
