Disney's All-Star Movies Resort is one of the five Disney World Value resorts, providing an economical option for families who want to enjoy the benefits of staying at an official Disney World hotel. Disney's All-Star Movies Resort has 1920 standard guest rooms that can accommodate up to four guests per room, or five guests if the fifth person is a baby in a crib. Disney's All-Star Movies draws its inspiration from five classic Disney and Pixar Animated films: 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia, Toy Story, The Mighty Ducks, and Herbie: the Love Bug. Each building features a huge statue of a character or image from the Disney movie it represents and these, along with the colorful decor, make the All-Star resorts a favorite among young kids. The 260 square foot rooms are fairly basic but they're clean and cute and are are very popular with guests who spend a lot of time in the theme parks. Disney's All Star Movies resort has two themed swimming pools and the Fantasia pool has organized poolside activities for children during the afternoons and a poolside Disney movie each evening.

Disney's All Star Movies Resort Pro & Con
Advantages - Clean, comfortable two cute pools and colorful Disney/Pixar themed buildings. The value resorts enjoy many of the same benefits as the more expensive resorts - things like "Extra Magic Hours" or free Disney theme park transportation - but at a much lower price. Guests here enjoy free parking, both at the resort and at the Disney theme parks. Guests can also take advantage of the Disney's Magical Express - complimentary transportation between the Orlando International Airport and the resort. As of 2012, all rooms now have mini-refrigerators at no extra cost.
Disadvantages - The rooms are small - 260 square feet - and basic; they're fine for people on a budget or who spend most of their time in the theme parks and just want a clean, convenient place to sleep. During low seasons or off-times, the All-Star resorts might share buses and, in that case, the All-Star Movies resort is typically the last stop. The value resorts do not have slides at the pools. There is a food court but the resort does not have a table-service restaurant. Depending on the type of Disney promotion offered, All-Star Movies sometimes costs more than Disney's All-Star Sports or All-Star Music Resorts.

Our Opinion of Disney's All-Star Movies Resort
The All-Star Movies resort and Art of Animation Resort are the most "Disney" of any of the official Disney World hotels and we love that! We also love the fact that Disney's All-Star Resort is clean, fun, and has all the Disney benefits at price that normal people can afford. It may make sense to splurge on a moderate or deluxe hotel if you'll spend enough time at the resort to enjoy the amenities but the value resorts are a great fit for guests who spend almost all of their waking hours in the theme parks. We wish the value resorts had queen beds and it would be nice if the pool had a slide but those are our only real complaints.
