We just returned from All Star Movies and we were pleasantly surprised ! We read so many reviews about how small the rooms are-we didn't find them that small ....and I also ask myself who goes to Disney to hang out in their room. We have 2 kids ages 4 & 5 and they were blown away by all of the character statues throughout the hotel. The buses were quick and easy-the food court was fine for breakfast-the pool was great and the staff was more than accomidating !!
Everyday when we came home our maid would do silly things like set my kids mickey and minnie stuffed animals in front of the t.v. with remote in their hands and the t.v. on. The kids looked forward each day to see what she would do next.

I would definitley recommend this to anyone with small kids.

The All Star Movies Resort was definitely looked like fun, and the pool was beautiful. The rooms were very clean but average and kind of cramped, even when spending the few extra dollars to upgrade. The disappointment was that we thought we were going to be close to things because my husband is disabled. It was a hike to get to the car and taking our bags in was a nightmare!!! We were still a distance from the pool and food. It is great if you're not disabled. We're looking to spend a little more next time on a moderate resort with a service to help us with our bags. Have a great trip!

Best Things Nearby:
Pool, food court.

Best Things About the Resort:
Convenient Disney transportation.

Resort Experience:
We stayed in the Toy Story wing of the resort on the third floor. There was a three-story tall Buzz Lightyear outside our wing and a Woody figure of the same size across the courtyard. The spiral stairs at either end of the wing were surrounded by Buckets of Soldiers.

The All-Star resorts are Disney's lowest priced accommodations. The rooms are nice, but they are set up motel-style. Each building had a theme based on a Disney movie, from 101 Dalmatians to Toy Story to Fantasia. Ours were in one of the two 'Love Bug' buildings, very far from the main entrance. This became especially annoying when we walked back to our room after being tired from walking all day, only to find a message to pick up our packages (that were to be shipped to the room from the various parks) at the gift shop during their normal business hours. We didn't think we'd mind the extra walking to the shuttle, but combined with all the walking once we reached the hotel, it was torture. One thing we came to appreciate about the room was the shower massage, which does wonders for tired backs, legs, feet, etc. I think all six of us had decided we'd definitely like to spring for the moderate-priced resort next time.

The only dining on the premises was the food court, which was as expected -- sufficient, but not gourmet by any means. They had Mickey-shaped waffles and decent (but messy) breakfast sandwiches. However, they also offered terrible and very over-priced coffee. I did wish for a coffee maker in the room. We never ate at the food court for anything besides breakfast, but I do hear they had good pizza.

I'd only recommend this resort to people on a very tight budget and more prepared to walk than we were, despite our best intentions at the outset. I'm sure a room a little closer (such as the Dalmatian building) would have been much more acceptable.

The accommodations were clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though this is the "budget" hotel that Disney provides, they do not skimp on the level of service or the amenities. The food court had a large variety of foods at a very reasonable price. In fact, it was cheaper than at the parks. The pools were large, clean, and they had lots of chairs for lounging. My daughter even got a strand of her hair wrapped in brightly colored thread while sitting beside the pool.
