Let's talk hotels..... DVC properties are booked solid, which is expected because the 11month rule and all that.... but what about booking a traditional hotel. I'm thinking of booking a moderate, probably the Port Orleans. I'm staying at the All Starts Music for an upcoming trip in September but not sure if I want to do a value for Dopey.
Questions:
1 - For those who have stayed at Value and Moderates, which did you like best for quiet, comfort, and all around just enjoyable times.
2 - Any specific hotel you recommend? I know all offer the same things but just wanted to know if there's a preference based on certain things, like food, bed comfort, logistics, etc.
3 - I may consider doing a deluxe again but not sure the spend is worth it. Just saying
For values/moderates...I have stayed at Pop and POR. POR bayou section is nice and relaxed. Rooms at both places are fine. Food court at POR has good choices for pre-race fueling. I took the race bus from POR and it was fine. I drove from Pop (stayed there in 2018 for first two nights of Dopey then AKL). I have gone from a Pop-detractor to a Pop-aficionado. Honestly, it provides more value for the money (pardon the pun). I like to get a room looking out on the lake and I prefer rooms far from the amenities (I value peace and quiet!---well, as much as you can get at Disney)
