Adult solo - budget lodging opinions needed>>>

[Steve P]

Need a budget room for Epcot F & W festival upcoming. I missed it the last few years, want to go back. I am a FL resident, they have a $49 deal for value resorts Oct/Nov.

I thought I recall the consensus was that ASMu was the best AS for adult solo's was that right?

Or, are the AS's too kid oriented, and should I go offsite? TIA.

IMHO, the All Star resorts as a whole are overrun with kids. Not that that's a bad thing, but if you're an adult with anything resembling a low-tolerance for kids and the sounds they bring with them, it might be wise to look elsewhere. However, if you can have a "live and let (noisily) live" take on things, it probably won't matter much!

Have stayed at ASMu 9 times now on solo trips and never had a problem with kids. Last May was in Broadway with several band groups and they were no problems.

I think it depends on what you need or do in a resort that should influence your decision as to where.
To me the resort is a bed shower fast food and bar. I don’t hang out at the resort so quiet areas are not needed. I don't waste time at the pool there is one in my backyard.

For the money the All Stars (with AP rate) are just fine.

I now split stay on my long trip in early Dec. A week at RPR then a week at a Disney resort. Checking in at PopC on opening day the 14th ....this should be interesting.

I have stayed many times at the Music solo and find it to be fine. I asume you will be at the parks most of the time and at the hotel only to sleep. I usually get to the park early and eat breakfast there and then hang around until 11:30 or so then go back to the hotel to swim. There are usually no small children there then as they are still in the parks. I then go back to the parks around 3 and the majority of kids are asleep in their strollers. Hope this hepls...

Steve P, I think I saw since your original post here, that you've since upgraded to a moderate. If so, I breathe a big sigh of relief. If not, I recommend you run, not walk to the phone. I'm a very "thrifty" person (nice way of saying "cheapskate") and after several nice trips staying at POR, I decided to save the money and try ASMusic. All week I internally scolded myself for being such a cheapskate. I think they were CHEAP. In my opinion, the moderates are well worth the extra cost-theming, quality, cleanliness. And I never thought I'd say spending more money could be a good thing!

we stayed at the AsMu-Calypso, and loved it sure there were kids but i didn't feel it was overrun

I love the All-Stars, to me it is really peaceful even for solo trips, but then, I'm only around there and awake before 6am and after 2:00 am on Solo Trips.

When my family is with me, we enjoy all the fun going on with other kids.
