I would say Pop because it has a dedicated bus, unlike Movies which has to share and therefore requires a lot more waiting if you need to load an ECV. We've stayed at both and enjoy them, but the transportation factor means we prefer Pop.
The All Star Resorts only rarely share anymore, we spent 18 days at AS Sports over two separate vacations and shared 4 times total. Each ride was mid-day to Disney Springs on virtually empty buses.
.
I spend most of my 45 nights a year at sports and they really share a buss anymore I think I get on a bus that shares maybe 3 times a year and it seems like always alway in the afternoon when no one else is going to the park
also POP is the furthest bus stop at the MK ( well maybe AOA is)
This is something that OP should definitely keep in mind as the rumor at this time is that buses to Epcot and DHS will no longer run between the gondola resorts and those parks. The thought is that transportation will be gondola only to those two parks for Pop. That will be a big plus or a big minus for a lot of people.There will be a gondola stop at pop no date on when but should be done before you go
I would think they would still run the buses as the gondola would stop running in rain/lightning and it never does this in FLThis is something that OP should definitely keep in mind as the rumor at this time is that buses to Epcot and DHS will no longer run between the gondola resorts and those parks.

Obviously nothing is confirmed yet, but wouldn't want OP to book 3 rooms just to find out later that it's gondola only and someone in their party doesn't want to go that route. On the other side, if it's something everyone in the party wants to experience, then Pop is the way to go.
If you go through the thread on the gondolas, the belief is that bus service will be back-up only in the event of long-term storms/winds (they can operate in rain and winds up to 45 mph. Other than a passing thunderstorm or hurricane, these will be operating). Otherwise, the expectation is no more bus services from CBR and POP/AoA for Epcot and DHS. In addition, people at POP/AoA may need to change "lines" at a hub. Similar to taking the monorail to TTC to get to Epcot. Parties with multiple ECVs will likely need to take multiple gondolas with only 1 ECV per car, but they will be drive on.I would think they would still run the buses as the gondola would stop running in rain/lightning and it never does this in FL
