I would gladly stay there again except I really wanted to try POFQ this trip. Only thing T-Mom its Pretty big It was definately worth the little extra they charge (not sure how much but it wasnt bad) for the Prefered room. Plus you can get "fluffer Nutter Sandwiches on Tye Dyed Wonder Bread" at the food court...how can you beat that??

Almost had the last night at AKL. thought better of it, I don't have that much time or money anyway. Save the bucks and go big later.

I have had conversations with them about going more often and staying at Value resorts and such. They just won't hear of it. I'm sorry but I like WDW way to much to go ONLY every other year.
Originally Posted By jkayjs mOm we have stayed @ PC and would do it again. Of course I remember so much of the stuff from growing up, @ 53 I have most of the century stuff covered. We go frequently and have stayed at all the values, 3of the mods and several deluxes and most of these mult times. We truely enjoyed PC. As said it is new and fun. Our faves are WL and POFQ but wouldn't hesitate to stay @ PC. For us at our age and with our kids grown we often opt for the deluxes because we do tend to spend more time at the resort than we use to. But we also love the last minute short trips where all we do is SSS(sleep,shower & poop)in our room. For those trips why spend the extra? Bottom line you will be at WDW and going home to a new house so where's the down side?

Originally Posted By crazyformickey If I didn't have DVC I would stay at the value resorts. I stayed at All Star Sports once, I am not real big on sports but it was nice. As long as I have a place to sleep and shower I'm good. We were there for Easter and after breakfast we went in the lobby and Minnie, Captain Hook and Mr Smee. It was our first day there and my son's first trip so it was a great start to our trip.
