I only stayed deluxe (or a few offsite, mostly because we didn't have the funds years ago, or when I got a nice Marriott condo) for years and years. One trip, just my youngest and me, we did Pop. We loved it! The bus service was very good, the food court was so convenient to grab something on the way back to the room for dinner, and the room was perfectly fine for the 2 of us. Last trip was supposed to be at All Star Sports, but someone at Disney totally screwed up and took our 2 connecting HA (roll in shower) rooms and decided that my kids and us could be in a non HA room (just one room). So Disney moved us as an "upgrade" to their worst BWI studio. It had no drawers whatsoever. They couldn't find us anything else with a roll in shower (youngest needs). I was beside myself, so now I'm pretty done with any Disney deluxe. Next trip just me and DH and we're at the Dolphin. If I go solo again (which I likely will, as I have an AP), I'll look at values again or the Swan or Dolphin.
Last time just youngest and I did the BWI a few years ago, he and I really couldn't justify $300/night. We missed having a food court (not a fan of the Boardwalk Bakery) and it was noisy (we had to call security twice on the room next to us). I can't justify what they charge now for deluxe resorts.
