That depends. Are you a Disney visa holder? If so, my recollection is you have to call at 7am eastern to book a visa offer.I've learned so much reading all of these posts - thank you. We are checking in 8/19 staying at the Beach club. If it turns out that the free dining for the general public doesn't start until 8/21 but Visa cardholders start on 8/13, will I be able to modify our reservations online or will I have to wait until 7am to call?
Right here all along....Right here at post #11799
Here is the one I found and am thinking of buying for him. We will have a stroller but when he is not in it is what I am worried about. He now likes to think he is independent and do what he wants.
I'm getting there 11/27 it looks like a pretty good time to me.
We are four average-sized adults and I previously ruled out the Value Resorts on hearing that there were only double beds. Anyone have a hard time sleeping in the small beds? Wondering if I am making a mistake ruling them out.

Fair enough, but it's not vendor rooms I'm seeing. I didn't just start going to WDW last month. I know how it works.
Question for those who have stayed at POP or can weigh in with thoughts on Value resorts, which we've never stayed in.
Our dates are 11/26-12/3. Split stay: 11/26-11/30 at CBR and 11/30-12/3. (I won't get free dining the last few days of our trip- but we can use Sunday's QS credits on Thursday and with the gift card offer and our Disney Visa rewards, paying for food OOP is no biggie Fri & Sat. Plus I may be able to score a room-only discount 11/30-12/3 since that's a separate reservation not eligible for FD).
Anyways, if I can't get FD with current reservation at CBR 11/26-11/30, my first choice would be another moderate- but POR and POFQ are excluded and I'm not seeing availability at CSR. Even with FD, upgrading to a deluxe would add $1,000 to our trip, which I can't justify. So I'm looking for advice on staying at a value and it looks like POP is available. I'm hesitant to book this due to the double beds vs. queens (there are 4 of us- husband, me, 2 kids (10 & 6) and husband is pretty tall). And, if it's warm enough to swim, we'd love to have a great pool (and the Values don't have slides). Some people seem to love POP. Others have complained that the beds/ rooms are just too small.
I realize this is a personal decision, but if we are park commandos for the most part, is the difference between POP and CBR std room really that big? Worth changing to POP to get FD? Other consideration is, if we get FD at POP we could perhaps stay at a deluxe the last 3 nights vs CSR, if a good room only discount comes out.
Sigh, sorry this is long, just debating our options before pulling the trigger Monday and my husband may kill me if I ask his advice again LOL[/QU
The resorts I have stayed at are All Star Movies, Pop, Coronado Springs, and Port Orleans Riverside. In my opinion I liked the values the most with Pop being my favorite but the beds are smaller. As for the slides my kids didn't even notice the values didn't have slides they were just happy to be swimming. I'm probably going to try deluxe for the first time this year because my kids are teens now and the double beds are getting a little squishy but I definitely think the values are great.Question for those who have stayed at POP or can weigh in with thoughts on Value resorts, which we've never stayed in.

I haven't found any difference betw the AS, POP & even some moderates re walls. I have dealt with noise & jet flush toilets roaring in the night in all of them. I always pack ear plugs & keep them on the nightstand. I've had some nights in both values & mods when I had to use them.Years ago someone posted that the walls are paper thin and you can hear babies crying all night long, hence the reason we ruled them out.
Two years ago we did. It was a bit more crowded than I expected. However, it was not horrible. Again, that was two years ago so things have probably changed a bit.Has anyone gone the weekend and week leading up to Thanksgiving? (Thursday week before/ leave the day before). We are booked 11/16-11/22. I was trying to get an idea of what crowds may be like.

Good to know. Maybe I will un-hide those rows from my spreadsheet for our Disney discussion meeting tonightThis was my concern as well. We are a pooh sized family, plus dd is 5'11", Dh is 6'2", ds is 5'6" (at age 12. ) and I'm 5'6" as well. I have to say, it was close but we did it for a week and ASMu quickly became our favorite resort, hands down! SInce my kids will not share a bed (and I don't expect them to, given their ages) dd and I shared a bed, and Dh a and ds shared. Dd and I were snug as we are both overweight while the boys fared a bit better.
We are actually excited to be going back to a value this time!

Sounds like an awesome birthday to meAdvice...
DS tuns 7 while there so we are thinking MK that day. Crystal Palace breakfast, QS lunch, Pirates League (his request), BOG dinner? Would this be a fun 7th birthday, other than the ovbious fact that we will be at Disney?
Thank you. That is VERY helpful. Which All Star is your favorite and why? Years ago someone posted that the walls are paper thin and you can hear babies crying all night long, hence the reason we ruled them out. Maybe it's time we give those resorts a try especially because we are not in love with the new murphy bed situation coming to Pop....
You got here just in time, we are all about to crack!Right here at post #11799
