Now that we live near WDW we hardly ever stay at WDW anymore but we still from time to time head over to the food court. Its food court offers tasty fast food... sloppy joes, cheesesteak wrap, veggie lasagna, and more. Rebekah.

However the Unoffical Guide gives a slight preference to the Pop because it was built last and the Disney people learned a few things about how to build the food court and so on better. However, I don't think there is any signifigant difference in rooms between the four resorts.

AS-music has its bus but a lot of ppl go there to stay @. If you rent a car, stay at any AS resort, they are better than the pop centry. also you can walk ovr to visit other facilities (sports,music,movies).....

So imagine what most rooms look like. Pop has a much nicer food court and retail and a great musical soundtrack. It does feel more government housing-ish since the buildings are four floors not three. But having a lake does give it a bit more resort feel. That said, both Music (in 2006) and Sports (just completed) have had thorough rooms renovations with a more contemporary, upscale look than either Movies or Pop (which has the old-style All Star decor). I stayed at Music last fall and found it very adequtete. The public areas are quite nice, especially the Jazz Inn and Broadway areas ... that said, while the rooms are new, many parts of the property are showing signs of neglect (50% of lightbulbs out in marquee, dead patches of grass, faded paint etc ...). I guess right now if I had to stay at a value resort I'd pick Sports first just because the room hasn't had a chance to be trashed yet. Then I'd stay at either Music or Pop. I'd never stay at Movies.
