No surprise that there are a lot of great and well-considered responses here...thanks especially to Mdricks and Tink#64...but thanks to everyone for helping me make an informed decision. I think it's gotta be POP Century! I'm lookin' forward to experiencing a new resort at Disney. Thank again, everyone!

Drat! I'll just miss you, Crow! We'll be there from the 6th to the 10th. Thanks for the offer, though! Much appreciated! One of these days I'd love to meet up with some Intercot folks while I'm at Disney.

There were 10 of us and we had a blast and danced all night. The bars and lounge are open later and the resort is super quiet (what we like most).
I'll definitely consider that for a future visit, thanks! A friend of mine at work recently took her young son to DisneyWorld for the first time, staying at Coronado Springs Resort...and she came back raving about it.

I have tried them all except the AOA and I will be there in Dec. I like how sociable people are at AS-sp. I like the food court at AS-mu. Not a big fan of AS-mo. Pop is cool with its dedicated buses, but the food court can be a little overwhelming at the busier times.

We just got back from Pop, and enjoyed it immensely. If you stay either there or Art, you could easily walk back and forth to either food court, but you can only use the Art pool if you stay there. They literally have it gated.
I've stayed at All Star Music too, and would say it is close to Pop in theming and quality. I like them both. Art is certainly the freshest of the three, because it is brand new, and the Mermaid section was not too Princess-y in my opinion.
Others may not agree, but I felt the service at Everything Pop was okay at best, and down right terrible at times. I had much better luck at Landscapes of Flavor. The food was good at both, but we got terrible service at Pop.
Viva Darth Macho!

Post Trip Update
We loved Pop Century! It's my new favorite value resort. We crossed the bridge and checked out Art of Animation, and enjoyed the food court there and the theming and brand-spanking-new look of the place...but with so many suites at Art of Animation, I think Pop Century will be our default resort going forward. Loved the dedicated buses and the Lake-View room so close to the food court and bus stations. Thanks to All for all the advice and input!
