Disney's All-Star Music Resort
- Very small standard rooms at 260 square feet
- Buses shared with other All Star Resorts, often standing room only
- Single sink in bathroom unlike moderate and deluxe resorts
- Only bus transportation, no Skyliner or monorail access
- Long walk from some buildings to the main lobby and bus stop
Disney's Yacht Club Resort
- Very expensive even by Deluxe resort standards
- Smaller pool at Yacht Club itself, relies on shared Stormalong Bay
- Rooms can feel dated compared to more recently renovated Deluxes
- No monorail access, bus or walk required to Magic Kingdom
- Nautical theming may not excite young children as much as other resorts
