I'm sure Orlando has more to offer...

Just a last-minute vacation with our 2-year-old. When we arrived the room wasn't clean, they lost tickets that I had ordered from an outside service, and the only food available was a huge cafeteria with overpriced cafeteria food. We did learn to like the place, but will definitely check out other hotels, probably in the general orlando area, next time. I'm thinking maybe they have to work harder since they are not "Disney" hotels. Maybe not...who knows! After complaining about the room and the service with the tickets, they did come and clean and folded the towels into animals, and put our daughter's stuffed animal on the bed like it was watching TV, which was cute. If you don't want to rent a car or get a cab, be prepared for cafeteria food, although it's not bad it's definitely a scene, and at busy mealtimes it's totally crazy. This hotel was just basically a "motel" with free transport to Disney... really a little disappointing since it's a theme hotel. They did also find our Disney tickets after a day, and gave us a small food credit.
Best things: pools are nice, though not heated and it was not that warm during the night, so very cold in the am/pm after the parks. Fun statues of characters all over. Nice little play area for little kids in sand. You can also walk to the nearby all-star resorts and eat there if you want, or use their pool, which might be better (or closer to your room--the music resort cafe was closer to our rooms than our cafe!)
Worst: looong walks to cafeteria, cold pools, not that great food
Great value for Disney resort

The food was excellent for cafeteria style dining. Food prices were pretty decent. Rooms were clean, but basic and small. No fridge or coffee makers in room. Excellent for staying short-term, but would recommend you stay at another resort that has more space if you have small children and are staying more than a few days - starts to feel a little cramped. Disney buses were quick - didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes each time. If you aren't planning on spending much time in the room, then this is an excellent value that gives you the perks of staying on a Disney resort.
love disney

I stayed at All Star Movies with my sister, niece and son. the rooms are very big, but when you are only there only to sleep, who cares. the room was cleaned every day and we loved the soap and shampoos that were left. the only downside was that we were far from the main building. it was the first time at disney for my sister and niece and they loved the way the hotel has animated features....the dalmations etc. we were pool side and really didn't find it very noisy at night. overall had a great time, we will be staying at disney again. i love the fact that you can buy something at the park and have it shipped to your hotel instead of having to cart it around.
