"I have read many reviews regarding this resort from many different sites including this one.  I was so skeptical about staying there, but I'm glad that I did.  I am a mother of two and staying here was the best decision I made.  The question you have to ask is "How long am I actually going to be in my room?"  The rooms were very nice, very clean, the beds were very comfortable.  There are NO shampoo and conditioner dispensers as I have read.  You get a little bottle of shampoo + conditioner, but why wouldn't you bring your own?  The staff were very nice and were always around to answer any questions.  They provide you with anything and everything you need to have a great time.  I was on a budget and I loved this resort.  I would definately stay here again.  This site is wonderful, I used this site to plan my vacation right down to planning my dinner plans.  Thanks!"  Shannon (11/05)


"my boyfriend & i took a quick trip to disney in early december 2002, and we stayed at the all-star sports. we were located in building 1 (surfs up) & although we were near the lobby & pool, we didn't hear much noise. the room was clean & tidy. the food court was decent...for us 18 year olds it did fine, but if you want something fancy, it's not the place. the walk to the lobby & busses was 2 minutes at most. there were a lot of CHEERLEADERS there when we went, and they would be in the arcade at night & they were very loud!!! & at the parks, the bus stops are verrrrrrrrry far from the park entrance, and when we went to mgm, there was 1 bus running for all 3 all-star resorts, which was absolutely ridiculous. we waited a good half hour, and kids were yelling & screaming...that wasn't fun to listen to. overall, however, it may be a value resort, but you are immersed in the disney magic. if you don't want to spend a lot of money but still want to stay on disney property, i say go for it. but if you're picky, you probably won't like it."

"The room was very nice and clean. We were disappointed with several employee's we met throughout our visit this time. We always valued how everyone always made you feel special and important when you came to Disney. This time we came across several rude individuals who didn't want to be bothered. From the time we first checked in at the desk. We told the girl we had resarvations for the baseball resort and she insisted we didn't have anything in our reservation stating that and wanted to place us in a tennis resort. We were very disappointed because we have no interest in tennis. My husband insisted on speaking to her manager who managed to give us a room at the baseball resort. We found it odd the place was far from full. We had empty rooms all around us and I don't quite understand why it was so difficult for the 1st young lady to help us. While in the park we had a couple rude employees one in the park & one boarding people on a ride. After waiting an hour on line my daughter had to go to the bathroom, we asked a women working if it would be okay to run to the bathroom and get back on line when we return. She said sure, but when we returned within 5 minutes the women was gone and another women working there would not let us cut back in line. At that moment my husband was going through the door and we couldn't join him. We also found the signs difficult to follow, first getting to the resort & then when we left we had trouble. We went around in circles a couple times. Maybe it was us but it just seemed confusing. Other then those few problems we enjoyed our visit." (4/02) Carol Peters


"The All-Star Sports Resort was a great place to stay! The rooms were extremely clean and housekeeping was very nice. One day they made a mickey mouse head with ears out of a facecloth! The rooms were big enough for two adults with 1-2 children. We found it convenient that the sink was outside of the toilet/shower room because one of us could use the sink while the other used the shower. If you want to be by the pool request the "surf's up" location. Dining is very expensive - we found that we were able to eat cheaper at Magic Kingdom! Next time we will pack snacks. Four chicken strips and some fries will cost around $6.00. The resort is great overall - It's not really fancy but it's fun, clean, and a great place to stay if you have children. The pools are a lot of fun, and characters come by sometimes in the morning around 8am. Check-in was so easy and the buses pick up right outside the hotel. I will miss this place - I highly recommend it!" (6/02) Mary


"The all star sports experience was AWESOME! This was our first time to Disneyworld and I NEVER expected the enormity of Disney, including the All Star Sports Hotel... It was fun and perfect for 2 young kids...we absolutely were never in the room so the size really didn't matter....the poolside accomodations were just right, with tables and bar right there, good food court food too.... We stayed in the sailboat area right next to everything, with a pool view... it was really a blast, my kids loved it..we went to a luau at the polynesian resort...for thousands more I personally did not see what was so great about the polynesian We are going next month and would have stayed again at one of the all star resorts, but we got a good deal for the Carribean (which had been my first choice to begin with) so I am really looking forward to this trip...LOVE DISNEY! Its my favorite place on earth!" (99)


"We stayed in the football section. It was very close to the food court, pool, bus stop, etc. Everything was perfect. Very clean. We are returning in 10/02 and are having a hard time deciding which All Star Resort to stay at---Sports again, which we loved, or try the Movies. I just can't imagine anything being more perfect. We thought the prices were very reasonable, especially the chicken fingers and fries that our boys ate several times there. For around $6.50 you got a large amount. Well worth it. There was a large variety of food which was very nice. My husband loved the breakfast foods and I loved the ice cream.
The laundry facility was excellent. I had taken a garbage bag along and kept all of our dirty clothes in. The morning we left I had gotten up before everyone and did the laundry and just packed everything neat and clean, back in to our suitcases. Then when we got home I didn't have all that laundry to do before we went back to work." (4/01) Michell


"Our first trip to Disney World found us staying at All Star Sports. Check in was quick and easy, the staff was very courteous and helpful. Everything was in order and waiting for us when we arrived. The rooms were fabulous. They were a little small but for the time spent in the rooms they were excellent. Our second trip to Disney in April 2001 was better yet. We stayed in the newly opened All Star Movies. The kids loved it! It was neat checking out the huge movie figures a round the complex. Our next trip to Disney we'll be staying at one of the All Star Resorts. There are not enough of words to say what a great place it was!
Dining at the All Star Resorts was great. We have 5 children and there was always something there for us to eat. It was like having a smorgasbord on site. The refill mugs were great to have too. We bought a refill mug the first time we stayed and took that along on our second tip. We bought additional mugs the second time around We thought the prices were right for the amount of food you received." (4/01) Vicki


"This was the first time I ever stayed in a Disney Hotel, and Im sold! What a wonderful hotel with great services. I went on this trip with my 51 year old aunt, my 45 year old aunt and Im 27, and we had a blast at this hotel! It makes you feel like a kid again. The rooms were clean and fun, the food was pretty good, the shopping good and the arcade fun even for those of us "old farts". I love that they offer shuttle buses everywhere because it saves on the added expense of a rental car and the hassle of parking it at the different parks. I will never again stay outside the Disney owned resort area. And i cannot wait for my next trip! Thanks Disney for making a great resort." (7/01) Kelly


"Room and all reception areas were clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. It was loveley seeing the children's faces every day when going back to the room and the maid service had arranged the disney toys in the windows of rooms. Hope to be going back soon, I'd like to try the Caribbean Beach but the children (ages 11 and 13) insist on staying at Sports again. We stayed in the surf area facing the pool. It was close to the transportation and receptions areas.
Wasn't keen on the fast food format but didn't dine much at the hotel anyway. What we did have there was okay." (May 99) Stella


"We stayed in the Tennis building, lower floor. The room was a little small for 4 people but we didn't spend much time in it anyway. It was very clean and nicely decorated. My 5 year old son was always excited to go back after a day in the parks to see how the maids had decorated our room window with all of his souviners he accumulated. The food court was a little price but we found that 3 meals would feed the 4 of us. We saved money that way, and my husband and oldest son are big eaters. The refill mugs were expensive to begin with but they more than paid for themselves during the stay and also make great souviners. The bus system seemed very efficient during our stay, even during peak times. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We hope to be staying there again in a few months!"

"My children and I went to Disney World for the first time and stayed at All Star Sports. We where amazed at the kindness from the staff and how clean it was incl all of Florida was so pretty and colourfull.We didnt want to leave really i have found my home! Thank you to everyone who made our first holiday so perfect that we will be back."


"I stayed in the All Star Sports Resort in early May 1998. We had a great time. If you normally stay at motels (such as a Motel 6 or Days Inn) you will most likely be happy with any of the All-Star Resorts. If you're accustomed to staying at nicer hotels (such as Marriot, or Radisson) you'll probably be happier with one of the moderates. Our next trip is May 2000. We'll be staying at All Star Music this time. I had to shorten our trip by 1 day so we could afford to stay on site - I refuse to stay at an off-site hotel."
