The magic of movies inspires Disney's 1,920-room All-Star Movies
Resort, one of the popular value resorts at Walt Disney World Resort.
Giant icons from favorite Disney movies set the scene and cameras
are rolling -- guests' cameras, that is. Colossal images from "101
Dalmatians," "Toy Story," "Fantasia," "The Mighty Ducks" and "The
Love Bug" decorate the resort hotel.
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort joins two other "All-Star" value
resorts -- Disney's 1,920-room All-Star Music Resort and 1,920-room
All-Star Sports Resort near Disney's Animal Kingdom and Blizzard
Beach water park.
The value resort features some big stars -- really big stars. Pongo
and Perdita from "101 Dalmatians" and Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story"
tower more than 35 feet tall. Buzz's partner Woody sits 25 feet
tall in his super-size cowboy hat. "Herbie" the famous bug is approximately
five times his normal size. Giant Sorcerers' hats, spell books,
brooms and buckets decorate the "Fantasia" area, and "The Mighty
Ducks" section scores with giant hockey sticks, goalie nets and
duck-shaped hockey masks.
Movies also inspire the check-in and guest service facilities and
a food court with five marquee venues, a gift shop and arcade.
Guests looking for a cinematic swim can "skate" into the hockey
rink-themed pool in the Mighty Ducks or join Sorcerer Mickey as
he directs a liquid symphony at the Fantasia pool, featuring a kiddie
area. An outdoor pool bar offers light food and drink.
Families will enjoy the whimsy of this brightly-colored movieland,
along with great rates -- value rates at Disney's All-Star Resorts
are $77-$124 per room per night, based on season. Most rooms sleep
four. Non-smoking and connecting rooms and accommodations for guests
with disabilities also are available.
