Disney Resort Profiles: All Star Movies Sports Resort

 

At Disney’s All Star Sports Resort gigantic megaphones, surfboards, football helmets, and basketballs team up with value prices to score a winning Walt Disney World vacation. Guests find themselves greeted by bright colors and the whimsy of giant Coke cups big enough to hold a resort swimming pool. The buildings at this Value Resort feature larger-than-life sports icons such as tennis ball cans, surfboards, and football helmets. The sports theme is continued in guest rooms, which feature sports-themed bedspreads, megaphone light fixtures, and artwork depicting sports scenes.

Tips 

When you stay at one of the All-Star Resorts you can use the pools, recreation, and amenities at all the other All-Star Resorts.  Want to try a different menu but don’t want to travel?  Visit All Star Movies World Premiere Food Court or All Star Music Intermission Food Court

Depending on where your room is located, you may be closer to the food court, bus stops, or pool located at another All Star Resort.

When visiting the pool, you need to bring your in-room towels as there are none at the pools in the Value resorts. Contact Housekeeping early in your trip for extras so you’re not waiting for dry towels when you’re tired
