a different kind of question

Sorry to hijack this thread but we are going next month and staying in a moderate for the first time (POFQ). 12 people in all, 7 newbies. One thing I liked about the values is the orderly line for the bus stop..reading that there are no lines at the bus stops in a moderate makes me a bit anxious..is this true all the time?

There are no lines but there are also FAR less people at the bus stops. Generally speaking, people tend to board the bus in the order that they arrived at the stop, unless they forgot their manners that day.

How about a little resort hopping? Have them stay in a moderate for just one night.

I made my reservations yesterday, and I decided to stay at CBR...it sounds like my brother and SIL will still be staying at a value resort. I talked it over with them and they are not upset I want to stay at a different resort. I listed all the reasons given as to why I didn't want to stay in a value resort and they were ok with it. They are staying at a value resort purely for financial reasons. The only reason we will go back to the resorts is to sleep and for my niece to use the pool. I would stay at the parks when they do that anyway so its not a big deal.

We stayed at POFQ last year during Christmas week, the most crowded time of the year at WDW, and there were never any queues at the POFQ bus stop, just a waiting "area" where you could stand or sit if you wish. And you know what? There was no need for a queue. There was never more than about 20-25 people waiting to get on any bus at POFQ while we were there that week (most of the time there were much less, maybe 10-12 people). So there were no worries about getting onto a bus or getting a seat. If you are driven to be the first person on the bus, you could stand next to the curb, I guess. This was our first stay at a moderate and we were very, very pleased with the bus service, which was a hundred times better than the values, especially when leaving the parks at night.

One big reason that has not been mentioned....March and April are two big months for high school senior class trips which stay in the value resorts...enough said!

Did anyone mention there is no coffee pot in value? I don't want to get dressed first thing in the morning to get my "fix"!
