Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort in Orlando, Florida
Of the trinity of value resorts that Walt Disney World dubs the All-Stars, this one was the last to be built, but is often the most popular.
All-Star Movies Toy Story Building
Unlike the All-Star Sports and All-Star Music, which blend Disney characters in with non-Disney themes, Disney’s All-Star Movies resort is, as the name suggests, themed completely in relation to some of the studio’s most popular films. The three-story room buildings are grouped into five areas: 101 Dalmatians, Toy Story, Fantasia (original and 2000), The Mighty Ducks and Herbie: The Love Bug.
Room buildings feature exterior corridors, central elevators and stairwells at the ends. Each building within a themed area will heavily feature decor related to that movie – for instance the Toy Story buildings feature a 35-ft tall Buzz Lightyear and a 25-ft tall Woody between the buildings, along with rooftop green soldiers. The interior features matching touches like character printed bedspreads and wallpaper strips.
They are also separate from the main lobby and food court building, but do have vending machines for sudden snack attacks. There is also in-room pizza delivery, but I found it way too overpriced.
All-Star Movies Room Decor
Bedding is either one king or two double beds, and rooms also feature a separate vanity/dressing area with an open wardrobe area, a small size dresser/armoir and a TV. High-speed internet is available for $9.95 a day, but better pack an ethernet cord because there is no wi-fi anywhere at the resort. All rooms are also smoke free, with a select few modeled for guests with disabilities.
The resort also has two pools. One is a hockey-rink-themed pool in The Mighty Ducks area, the other is Sorcerer Mickey as he directs a liquid symphony at the Fantasia pool, which features a kid’s area.
Guests staying at the All-Star Movies also can take advantage of Disney resort perks like free Disney buses, early/late magic hours at the parks and ship to your room privileges for items bought at on-property stores (no more schlepping shopping bags all day at the parks).
Rates start at $82 a night during value season and can go as high as $160 during peak seasons, like holidays.

We stayed there in the Mighty Ducks section, it was fine for the price. We had a decent pool nearby but you could walk about a half a mile to the main pool. Fun trip!
Thats the great thing about Disney – they know how to do the job right. With so many holiday rentals to choose from in the Orlando area they have had to raise their standards. My kids love staying here and the staff are very helpful.
