"We came back last week from our 1st Disney trip, (husband, me and 9yr old), we had a fantastic time. We didn't think it could live up to our expectations, but it surpassed them! We stayed at the Movies, and apart from the standard of the Food Halls cooked food we couldn't fault anything. Luckily for us it was very quiet so we didn't have any waiting, even for the popular rides. I can't beleive that everyone can be so helpful, everyone really does try to make your holiday the best. Some people have said that the rooms are small, but we were usually too tired to notice! Now we're home we're depressed, and hoping that we can afford to go again one day. Everyone at Disney- Enjoy it before its time to go home!" (11/01) Robin


"Well the hotel overall was excellent value for money, My family stayed in the 'mighty ducks' section of the hotel. We found if you are staying at the mighty ducks part a good tip is when you are returning from the disney parks on the provided coach, dont get off at the movies stop, but a shorter distance to walk to the mighty ducks stay would be 2 get off at the Music resort stop and cut through! The kids were easilly entertained back at Movies, where they could sit and watch Disney classic's such as 101 dalmations in the Lobby! Its A fab choice if you have smaller or older children to take!! advised by US!!!" (8/01) Kimberley Jacobs, East London


"Accomodation: Our first trip to WDW and it was great...Two adults and a 9 year old. The room was small but since all we did was sleep and shower, we did not need much more room. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Transportation to and from thetheme parks was very efficient. We never waited more than 15 min. for a bus except at night when we were headed back to the hotel. What else can I say except we are planning another trip in May 2002 and will stay there again because we really enjoyed our stay and we have already recommended the all star resorts to others. In fact, the ASR were recommended to us...It was a good choice, especially on our first visit. We stayed in building 8, Fantasia, and had a first floor room. would like the same next time.
Dining: prices are high, and sometimes seem just a bit too much. It makes it a bit difficult for those of us on limited budgets, but cosidering where we are talking about, I guess it isn't too far out of line...could be worse
Overall: The place is a great family vacation! Overall I would say it was worth the money. Enough of a vacation to make us want to go back in May of 2002! Looking forward to being there again." (May, 2000) Mark Spencer


"We had faxed a request for Dalmations building because of the 3 year old in our party. When we got there, they had us in the Love Bug building. We asked to be moved but they had some kind of large party in the Dalmations buildings. We asked to be moved if something became available. One member of our party is a travel agent, who made all of the arrangements. She made sure to tell them this. We couldn't get into our rooms until later in the day. We found when we got back, we had been moved into rooms in the Perdita building in Dalmations. We were elated!!! It really made the trip special. The 3 year old loved the icons in the courtyard areas. I have to believe that we were moved because my friend informed them that she is a travel agent. I'll never really know, but I believe it is true. Anyway, the room was very close to the food court, the main pool, and the buses. It was clean and well kept. It was everything I expect a Disney Resort to be. We ate in the food court almost every night we were there. We found that there was a good variety, and the food was tasty and priced much more to our liking than in the parks. We took advantage of the refill cup. It is well worth it's price in the long run if you are going to be there more than 1 or 2 days. Plus, you can bring it back with you if you are going to come back on another trip at a later time. We ate mostly earlier (mornings) and later (evenings) than most people and found that there was always plenty of places to sit and plenty of fresh food still available. I liked this resort very much. We stayed in All Stars Music a few years ago, and I wasn't impressed. It was pretty run-down. On the other hand, All Star Movies was fresh and clean, and well kept. I've heard others say the noise level is high, but I didn't find it to be that at all. I recommend this Resort for anyone who wants to stay "in the magic" on a tighter budget." (Nov 2000) Gay


"My family and I have stayed at All Star Movies two years in a row and loved it! I am a single man traveling with his senior citizen parents and believe me, you don't need to have children to appreciate this place. The convenience of being on Disney property is wonderful - we'll never stay offsite again. The food court offered something for everyone at reasonable prices (by resort standards).The food was alway fresh and delicious. The Disney atmosphere was a delight and the pools are wonderful. Bus transportation was more than adequate and frequently excellent. The gift shop is amazing, by the way - they seem to have everything. It's true, the rooms are not very large, but how much time do you actually spend there? In our case, not much. You could spring for fancier accomodations, but in my opinion, its not really worth it. I heartily recommend the All Star Movies resort. Its a fun place and we look forward to staying there again." (2/01)


"WE HAVE STAYED AT THE ALL-STAR MOVIES RESORT FOR A TOTAL OF THREE WEEKS SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 1999, AND LOVED IT. WE HAVE TWO BOYS WHO ARE NOW 2 AND 4 YEARS OLD. THEY LOVED THE WHOLE RESORT AND WE WILL DEFINATELY STAY HERE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. ON ONE OCCASION, WE LOST A BRIEFCASE WITH A LARGE SUM OF MONEY IN IT AND A DISNEY CAST MEMBER FOUND IT AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT A REWARD FOR RETURNING IT. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT."

"The accommodation was spotlessly clean, we had everything we needed. The kids loved the themed hotels it really made you feel like you were in Disney. It would have been nice to have a little more cupboard space to put all our clothes away, but we managed ok. It would also have been nice to have been given the option of having one double bed and two singles or bunks as the two children with us were 11 and 12 years old one girl and one boy and theyre not brother and sister, but we were all in the holiday spirit and we managed ok.It was nice having satellite TV in the room because most evenings we were too tired to go out.
The food offered in the cinema hall in the resort itself was a little limited in choice for my taste. I dont think they cater for people who are staying for any length of time." 25/01/2001-8/02/2001, Andrea Crichton


"We have been to Disneyworld in 1998 and 1999. Both times we stayed at All Star Movies and were not disappointed. This hotel packs a big punch for the relatively small price. The rooms are fairly small, but are decorated nicely and will especially appeal to young children. The food courts are great for young kids because they offer a good selection of food kids like(pizza, burgers, fries, ect). The pools are quite nice and include a wading pool for tots, although, it is pretty small. We are going back to Disney again this year and plan to stay at Movies." PKASMITH@YAHOO.COM (2/01)


"what can we say about our stay at the allstar resort.we had our holiday in september2000.In short it was the best holiday we have ever had our room was great service exellent food hall was superb.Our two children enjoyed every moment. This was our second holiday in your resort.and we will be returning sometime in 2002" mr and mrs e learoyd. (2/01)


"Very friendly service. Cast members made us feel right at home. All Star Movies is a great vaule family resort."


"We just spent a week at ASMovies. The room was what we expected after reading the newsgroups. It was adequate for the two of us for the amount of time we actually spent in the room. That said I feel I must expand on that a bit. It would have been nice to have a couch or chair to sit in while watching the evening news, etc. We usually prefer nicer quarters on vacations and they usually cost much less. I guess that as long as we're all willing to pay Disney Prices-we won't get what we pay for...We aren't in the habit of paying $100+taxes/night for Super8/Red Roof level lodging. This was our first time staying on property. It was nice to jump on the bus and go to a park, it was nice to be able to send purchases back to the resort. But IMHO the value for the money wasn't quite there. Thanx for letting me vent a little..."


"The All Star Movies Resort was a great value and the refillable mug was a great idea! We'll stay there again in a few days this year!"


"We stayed at All Star Movies in 12/99 with the entire cheerleading squad for the POP Warner superbowl. We had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was great. We are hoping to come back again this year with the whole family. The staff was very courteous. We stayed in the 101 Dalmations but loved the Toy Story building and hope to stay there next time."


"We stayed at the movies location in January of 99. The people that work they were very friendly and very willing to help us out anyway that they could. The room (when we were in it) was just wonderful."


"We are a family of 4, 8 yr. old daughter and 2 yr old son. We stayed at All Star Movies Resort for 11 days. It was absulately Perfect! We stayed at the Moderates, Caribbean & Orleans, I feel the rooms are the same. There was plenty of room for all our stuff. The bus services was great, never had any problems. I was going to book Dixie but my daughter was really upset. I asked why. She replied, " You really are at Disney when you are at the Movies". Well, that sold me! We were in the Fantasia building which work out great for us. Everyday my son was the first one at the door. And everyday we had to swing by to see Buzz Light Year. If you have children this is the place to be." angela


"In June, '99, I made my 8th trip to WDW, but it was the first time that we were able to stay in the WDW Complex. Me, my daughter, a friend and her son stayed at the All Star Movies Complex. It was wonderful. Never again will we stay outside WDW. Just the convenience of staying on-site was worth it. The fun we had at All Star Movies (Mighty Duck) was an added bonus. The room was a little small, but since we were there just to take a small rest in the afternoon, and to sleep at night, it wasn't an inconvenience." Debbie C.


"I recently stayed at the All Star Movies and was extremely disappointed in the atmosphere. Several floors above us were under construction and the work began every morning at around 7:30 AM!!! Sound insulation in the hotel was very poor with water sounds coming from adjacent rooms."


"My family visited Disney World in September. We stayed at the All-Star Movies Resort in the Buzz building. We feel that the room size was big enough for the amount of time we spent in the room. (My family consisted of myself, my husband, a 16 year old 6ft son, and an 18 year old daughter). I definitely wouldn't stay in one of the buildings that are far away from everything,like the food court, pool, and bus stop.I think that the Herbie & Mighty Ducks Buildings are too far from everything. The food at the food court was pretty good and reasonably priced."


"We were just at Walt Disney World on September and are now planning to return. We stayed at the All Star Movies resort. It was low budget but very nice. I highly recommend it...especially if you have children."


"We just got back from staying at the All-Star Movie Resort. The children loved to see all the neat things on the buildings. The hotel was very clean and everyone was very courteous. However, the bus service was not very prompt. We waited 2 hours one day for a bus to MGM Studios. "


"We just got back from staying at the Toy Story building in the All Star Movies and it was so cute and neat... it was very clean, and the whole room was themed which was great. the entire hotel was nice, the pools are fun and the food court has a pretty good selection of food."
