Planning a 4-5 night/ 3 park day trip in mid November (after Veteran's day, before Thanksgiving) and wanting to stay at a Disney resort without spending big bank. We have tickets already (still using 10-day no expiration tickets purchased in 2014), so it makes a Disney trip pretty affordable when all you need to worry about is paying for the hotel.
I've stayed in Grand Floridian (before kids) and stayed in Pop Century and enjoyed it in 2015. Looking at the All Stars Movies simply to do a different resort rather than staying in Pop (which we enjoyed) again. Plus I think the kids would get a kick out of the giant statues of Disney characters.
The Values just are more my price range rather than paying double that price for a Moderate. My kids are still young (2 and 6) that accommodations (like themed rooms) or activities at the resorts don't matter yet, and I am saving a stay at a Moderate or Deluxe for later trips when they are older.
Art of Animation would be nice, but seems like it is so popular and has those bigger family rooms (which I don't need) that it costs more than most moderates.
I'm not picky about my accommodations -- I am a "just need a bed to sleep in" type of family as I would want to spend all the time in the parks ... and am happy to use the bus system to get to the parks.
I've heard a lot of bad things about the All Stars ... what's the opinions here? How does it compare to Pop? Why? Would love to hear some good and bad experiences.
