Disney4me Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 One group of Disney World hotels has a DICEY reputation. Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Yep, we’re talking about the All-Star Resorts! This trio of resorts have sports, music, and movie themes, and they’re the cheapest hotels available in Disney World. That price point means that they’re definitely not the fanciest places to stay on property, and therefore, they have quite a few haters. But we’re here to tell you why All-Star Movies Resort isn’t really all that bad. If you check out the All-Star Movies Resort reviews over on the AllEars.net website (wave “hi” to our friends at AllEars!), you’ll find quite a few people who had disappointing experiences at the hotel. One person gave the hotel a 3 out of 10, saying: “This hotel is weird. The dining options are really bad, with only a pool bar and a food court. Also, the rooms have only a curtain separating the main part of the room and the bathroom. I get that it’s a value/cheap resort, but Disney should at least put some effort into the rooms! When my family of 4 stayed in these rooms, we heard all the noise from the bathroom. Most rooms are also noisy from the outside. You can also only rely on buses, which sucks. I don’t recommend this hotel. If you need to stay at the All-Stars, go to All-Star Music.” Food Court This is a pretty common opinion for any of the All-Star Resorts, with people finding them “cheap” in theme and boring compared to other Disney World hotels. But honestly? There were some things about All-Star Movies that actually impressed me! They’re Affordable First of all, this resort is AFFORDABLE. The three All-Star hotels are the cheapest hotels on property, and their prices range from $133-$305 per night for a standard room, and from $169-$352 per night for a Preferred Room in 2025. Dalmatians section By staying here instead of at a Moderate or Deluxe Resort, you could save enough money over the course of your vacation to splurge a bit in the parks. We’ve known some people to choose the All-Stars so that they could get the Disney Dining Plan or pay extra for the Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Also, if you’re the type of person who spends ALL day in the parks, you may not need to spend money on a luxury hotel. The Worst Problem With Staying at Disney World’s Cheapest Hotels — Click Here! The Rooms Are Updated The next thing that was impressive to me is that the hotel rooms here are recently updated. All of the All-Stars got room refurbishments in the past few years, and it makes a HUGE difference in the quality of your hotel stay here. Fresh flooring, new beds, updated theming, and new bathroom fixtures all keep this hotel from looking as dingy as it was before. Standard Room at All-Star Movies The new rooms have a generic Mickey and friends theme, which your kids will probably enjoy, and they come with more storage, more outlets for your electronics, and just a generally more modern vibe. If you stayed at All-Star Movies several years ago, you’ll likely be impressed by this change the next time you visit. Click Here to Check Out a Full Room Tour! The Outside Theming Is Fun Even though all the rooms are the same inside, All-Star Movies is home to some super cool theming on the exterior of the hotel buildings. Each section of the resort has a theme with a different Disney movie — Toy Story, Herbie: The Love Bug, The Mighty Ducks, Fantasia, and 101 Dalmatians. The Herbie section! Walking around the resort and exploring the various sections is a lot of fun, and Disney has put some impressive detail into the buildings and props. Personally, I like this theme the best of the three All-Star Resorts, and your kids likely will as well! We’ve Stayed at Every Disney World Hotel. These Are the Best. You Get Three Resorts in One And one thing that the All-Star Resorts have that no other resorts on Disney World property have? Three hotels in one! The All-Star Resorts are all on one giant property, so it’s easy to walk between them for dining, shopping, or exploring. And they’re the only three hotels that you can pool hop between! Duck Pond Pool That’s right, if you’re staying at All-Star Movies, you can use the pools at your resort, as well as the pools at All-Star Sports and All-Star Music (but ONLY those three). Guests of other hotels around Disney World are limited to their own resort’s pools. Fantasia Pool In conclusion, All-Star Movies is certainly not Disney World’s most glamorous resort, but it definitely has its perks. It serves a specific audience, and it can be a great way to do Disney World on a budget! For the best Disney World hotels for first-timers, check out the video below.
