What is The Disney's All Star
Movies Resort?
All Star Movies is the third
and final hotel in the All Star Complex. It is a 1920 room
resort featuring the following movie themed buildings: 101
Dalmatians, Fantasia, Herbie: The Love Bug, The Mighty
Ducks, and Toy Story.
The buildings have exterior and
interior themes to match their names - such as a
40-foot-tall Pongo and 35-foot-tall Perdita at 101
Dalmatians and a 35 foot tall Buzz Lightyear and 25 foot
tall Woody at the Toy Story section.
The rooms are 260 square feet
in size, the smallest and least expensive of all the rooms
on Disney property. The All Star Movies, along with All Star
Sports and All Star Music, make up the three of the four
value hotel offerings on Disney property.Your room may
overlook the courtyard, the parking lot, or the pool area .
All rooms open to the exterior hallways.
What other themes will I find at
All Star Movies?
Herbie The Love Bug, the
famous VW Beetle, is approximately five times his normal
size.
Giant sorcerers' hats,
spell books, brooms and buckets decorate Fantasia.
The Mighty
Ducks section has giant hockey sticks, goalie
nets and duck-shaped hockey masks. The Goalie
nets are 31 feet high and surround the
stairwells.
Where is the All Star Movies
Resort located?
Disney's All Star Movies
Resort is located adjacent to Disney's All Star Music
and Disney's All Star Sports Resorts in the Animal
Kingdom Resort Area. Just outside is a McDonald's and
Disney's Blizzard Beach and
Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course
is nearby.
Complimentary bus service
transports guests throughout the Walt Disney World
Resort area. Bus service is the only mode of Disney
transportation offered at the resort.
What should I expect to
pay for a room at Disney's All Star Movies?
The Disney's All-Star
resorts are considered "Value" resorts at Disney, and
their prices are among the least expensive offered at
Walt Disney World resorts. There are Value Season,
Regular Season, Summer Season, Peak Season and Holiday
Season rates. These are regular rate prices and do not
include the Florida Sales Tax nor the county resort tax.
Rates are based on double occupancy. No charge for
children under 17 years old when in the same room as the
adults. For each adult over 2 there is a $10 per night
charge per person.
Sometimes there are special
rates for Annual Pass Holders, AAA members, or Florida
residents. Be sure to inquire when you call for
reservations!
How many people fit in
a room at Disney's All Star Movies ?
The rooms at the Disney's All
Star Movies accommodate a maximum of 4
people, or 4 people with one child under three who sleeps in
a crib. These maximums are in accordance with
fire codes. Four adults in Disney's All Star Movies
rooms may find the stay uncomfortable. The rooms do
not have as much closet and drawer space, and there is only
one sink and mirror. Two adults and two children will be
able to stay at the Disney's All Star Movies
in comfort, but more than 2 adults in a Disney's
All Star Movies room may be too much. Due
to the low room rate, you may want to consider adjoining
rooms. The cost of the two rooms may be lower than other
options on property. As another option, the Disney's
All-Star Music Resort now offers the options of Family
Suites, which accommodate up to 6 people, plus one child
under 3 in a crib.

Rooms have a maximum
four-person occupancy per room (plus one child under 3 in a
crib).
For each adult over 2 there is a $10 per night charge per
person.
Preferred rooms are
located in the buildings closest to Cinema Hall: Toy
Story, Fantasia, and 101 Dalmatians.
What are the other
facilities and amenities that are available?
Cinema Hall, the
resorts center, offers check-in and guest
service facilities (including express
check-out), a 24-hour front desk, a
film-inspired food court with five marquee
venues, a gift shop, arcade and playground.
Additionally there is free parking as well as
RV/Truck parking, limited room service (pizza
delivery), laundry facilities just outside near
the Fantasia Pool and daily housekeeping. Irons,
ironing boards and hair dryers are available
upon request. From your room phone, call
housekeeping.
There are no Kids
Clubs at the Disney's All Star Resorts. Offered
at nearby resorts but, not at Disney's All Star
Movies Resort or any of the other Value Resorts
are baby-sitting/child services, golf
facilities, health clubs and valet services.
Notice: All Disney resorts and
guest rooms are smoke free. There are designated
outdoor smoking areas. Check the resort map or
with a Cast Member for locations.
Do the rooms have a
refrigerator?
No, but, in-room
refrigerators can be rented for $10.60 a day
(includes tax), payable upfront at check-in.
How many pools are
there?
There are two
pools. Guests looking for a cinematic swim
can skate into the hockey-rink-themed pool
in The Mighty Ducks area, or join Sorcerer
Mickey as he directs a liquid symphony at
the Fantasia pool, the resorts main pool,
which features a kiddy area. An outdoor pool
bar (adjacent to the food court and Fantasia
Pool) offers light food and drink.
Unsure swimmers
can get life jackets for use at the pools.
What are the
rooms like?
The rooms
are brightly-colored with a movie theme
and come with either two double beds
(sleeps four), or one king sized bed.
(Most rooms sleep four.) Connecting
rooms and accommodations for guests with
disabilities are also available upon
request based on availability.
The rooms
have a TV, phone, one sink and mirror,
an open area for hanging clothes (with a
rack on top) and a small size dresser.
Do any of
the buildings have elevators, or just
stairwells?
There are
two elevators in each building, located
next to each other in the center of the
building. There is also a staircase next
to each pair of elevators, and a room
with an ice machine just behind them.
There are outside staircases at each end
of each building, so if your room is far
from the elevators, you can use those
stairways.
When is
check-in/check-out time?
Disney's All Star Movies
check-in time is 4pm,
and check-out time is 11am. This
means that your room isn't
guaranteed to be ready for you
before 4 p.m. and the resort
needs you completely out of your
room by 11 a.m. on the day you
check out.
If
you arrive early, go ahead and
check in at the Disney's All
Star Movies
Front Desk. If your room is not
ready, the Disney's All Star
Movies luggage assistance will
store your bags for you and
deliver them to your room when
you return. The Front Desk will
give you a resort charge card,
even if your room is not ready.
The Guest Services desk will
provide your room key when you
return and your room is ready.
Late Check-out of 1:00 pm can be
requested without additional
cost. If you need Late
Check-out, inquire at Check-In
when you should request this.
Most resorts ask you to call the
morning of check-out because the
number of eligible rooms are
limited.
Express Check-out is available
upon request (easiest to do when
you check in) to all guests
paying with a credit card. A
detailed hotel bill is delivered
to your door by 7am. If the bill
is correct you simply leave. You
may keep your room key as a
souvenir.
How
does bus transportation work?
Each All Star Resort has one bus
stop located outside the main
building facing the parking lot.
There are signs which indicate
where each bus will transport
you. For Disney's All Star
Movies, the bus stops are right
outside Cinema Hall.
Normally, each of Disney's
All Star Resort gets its own
bus. But in times of large
crowds (i.e., park closing
time) or unusually small
crowds a bus may stop at
more than one Disney All
Star Resort in one trip.
Which buildings are located where,
and are closest to what?
Cinema Hall is the main building
which houses the front desk,
guest services, lobby, food
court and store. If you exit the
back of Cinema Hall and turn
Left you will find the Toy Story
Buildings (Buzz and Woody). Exit
Cinema Hall to the RIGHT and you
will first come upon the 101
Dalmatians Buildings (both of
them); then the Mighty Ducks
Pool; and surrounding the pool,
the Mighty Ducks Buildings (both
of them).
If you exit Cinema Hall and
walk straight back, you will
arrive first at the Fantasia
Pool. The two Fantasia
Buildings border the far
side of the Fantasia Pool.
As you continue walking
back, you will then see the
two Love Bug Buildings.
I want to stay in a quiet room,
which building should I stay in?
The two factors that
will ensure that a room
is not quiet are:
proximity to the pools,
and proximity to Cinema
Hall. Rooms on the path
to Cinema Hall
will be noisy
in the morning and
evening, when guests
make their way to and
from the food court,
shop and bus stop. Rooms
that face one of the
pools will be noisy
during the day when kids
splash around to beat
the Florida heat.
Also important to
remember is that because
the Disney's All Star
Resorts are the value or
least expensive resorts
that Disney offers,
large groups often
obtain blocks of rooms
here. Throughout the
year you might encounter
large groups of
cheerleaders, dance
teams, Pop Warner
football teams and more.
If you "really" want a
quiet room, request one
that is facing woods and
furthest away from
Cinema Hall. Also
avoid first floor rooms.
The Love Bug
Buildings should be
the quietest, since
they are the
farthest from Cinema
Hall and the pools.
Bottom line, if
you would like
the quietest
room possible
during your stay
at Disney's All
Star Movies
Resort, be sure
to let the Cast
Members at
Disney know as
soon as possible
and as early
as making
reservations,
(if you can),
and again at
check-in.
Although nothing
can ever be
guaranteed,
Disney is
nothing if not
accommodating,
and hotel Cast
Members will do
their best to
honor your
request.
