Hi Kary,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I have stayed at several of Disney's Value Resorts and have enjoyed each stay. I do like Disney's Pop Century Resort but Disney's All-Star Resorts are also a great deal.
Currently,
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort rooms are being refurbished. The work is scheduled to be complete in early 2019. If your travel dates match up I would recommend a stay at Disney's All-Star Movies. The Disney movie-themed grounds and a newly-refurbished room are hard to beat!
The other All-Star Resorts are also great places to stay. If you have an athlete in the family, you might want to book a stay at
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. Several youth athletic teams stay at Disney's All-Star Sports Resort while competing in events at
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Athletic teams stay at several resorts but they do seem concentrated at Disney's All-Star Sports.
If you are looking for a Family Suite, you will want to check out
Disney's All-Star Music Resort. I love the extra room a Family Suite provides. Having a refrigerator and microwave makes mornings easier for my family plus an extra bathroom is almost a necessity with teenagers.
Kary, thank you for stopping by with your question. I hope my answer helps in your decision making and I hope you'll let me know if I can help you with any other planning questions.
Wishing you happy planning and a magical vacation,
Amy H.
