Disney's All-Star Movies Resort

Having stayed at All Star Sports (twice), All Star Movies previously and Pop Century last year, I can say we are very familiar with the value resorts and what they offer. After all we were there to be in the parks and not at the resort. With that said, we were disappointed with this stay as it didn’t have that “Disney magic” feel it has had in our past value resort visits. We picked this resort based on the newly refurbished rooms as we LOVED the pop century refurbished rooms during our visit a year ago. The rooms at All Star Movies rooms felt like they were cheaply renovated compared to Pop Century. The shower door didn’t close properly (we had to shove a towel in the track to get it to stay closed while showering), the rain shower head was replaced with a cheap one, the soap dispensers were not completely filled prior to our stay and we ran out of body wash near the end of our 7 night stay. We opted out of housekeeping as we were told we could request towels, garbage disposal as needed etc. (we opted out of housekeeping in the past at Pop Century and had no problems at all!). We requested new towels on day 3 and asked them to take the old wet towels (left at the door)...received 4 blankets and they didn’t take old towels? Requested towels again the next day and did receive them..but again didn’t take old towels by the door (housekeeping literally walked over them to enter the room) so wet towels remained under the bed the entire trip. Front desk wasn’t overly friendly when we approached them around this...but they did help none the less. As mentioned previously...the “Disney magic” just wasn’t in these rooms/at this resort as we have experienced previously. We did have an amazing trip at the parks and will be back again next year...just don’t think we will return to this resort!

This was our first trip to Disney and this resort was booked through our travel agent as a package deal. She recommended this All Star movies resort as a great place to stay based on her own experience. We were very happy here with everything! We stayed in the Toy Story section in a recently upgraded room that slept the 3 of us very comfortable. Housekeeping services were excellent! Our access to the busses were very convenient however, we had to go through the outside smoking section with our young daughter each day to get to the cafe, busses pool etc..this however was a big turnoff! We enjoyed all the cafe food as well as their hours. The outside bar was also a welcoming touch on a few hot days we endured. Pool was so relaxing as the temperature was just right! We will return for our future trips to Disney! We actually hated to leave!
