Disney’s All Star Sports Pros and Cons

Advantages - Clean and comfortable accommodations with two cute pools and colorful sports themed buildings. The value resorts enjoy many of the same benefits as the more expensive resorts - things like Early Theme Park Entry or free Disney theme park transportation - but at a much lower price. Depending on the type of Disney promotion offered, All-Star Sports sometimes costs less than Disney's All-Star Movies or Pop Century Resorts.

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 but, in that case, the All-Star Sports resort is typically the first 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. Disney's All-Star Sports resort frequently gets sports teams and groups who come to Disney World for various sports-related events and these groups often mean extra noise for surrounding guests.

Our Opinion - We love the fact that Disney's All-Star Sports 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. It would be nice if the pool had a slide, but that is our only real complaint.
