Disney's All-star Movies Resort

We recently stayed at this hotel and wanted to share a quick, honest review. The outside of the property and the surrounding areas were beautifully decorated and really set a fun, welcoming tone. But once we got inside, the experience felt a little flat. We stayed in the Toy Story–themed building, and unfortunately the theme didn’t carry through indoors. The rooms themselves weren’t themed, which made it feel underwhelming compared to all the excitement and detail outside. One morning we also had an uncomfortable moment when what looked like a large group of staff (possibly housekeeping) came out of a meeting at the same time. There were probably 20–30 people, and while we understand everyone was starting their day, only one person said good morning. Several others bumped into my family without acknowledging it and just kept talking, which didn’t feel very guest-friendly. There were definitely positives, though. The location is great and super convenient, and the bus transportation was wonderful and easy to use. We also loved the greeters near the bus area in the mornings, they were dancing, playing music, and really helped start the day on a happy note. Overall, the hotel has some great things going for it, especially the location and transportation. If the indoor theming matched the outside and guest interactions were a bit more intentional, it would make the stay feel much more memorable.

WARNING: if you have a 3 PM checking ( everyone does) arrive early or late! I was lucky and arrived at 2pm. Hung out at the pool bar and received a text that my room was ready at 3 on the dot! After drops g off my bags in the room, I took a quick shower and headed to Magic Kingdom. On the drive exiting the resort I witnessed an outrageous line of cars that spanned at least a mile! They unfortunately only have two car lanes for a location holding THREE hotels! It’s wild to me that they don’t expand the entry lanes or at least stagger the arrival windows for the hotels. SERVICE: the service was incredible. This may be a budget hotel but the cast members provide top level service! The lobby attendants were so friendly and welcoming. The pool bartender Mike was friendly and very helpful! And in the early morning they blasted tunes by the bus terminal for Theme barks which really went a long way in making the park day feel magical. AMENITIES: in your hotel room there is a coffee maker with plenty of coffee, and tea, a mini fridge ( no microwave) a hairdryer, premium soap and lotion. There is a pool and a laundry station for self service laundry. There is a gift shop and a really nice food court with a lot of different options for any dietary needs. LOCATION: this resort is right next to Animal Kingdom. And not too far from the other parks, though it’s mush closer to DAK. If your room resort includes free mini golf on the day of your check in, then you are not too far from the winter/summer mini golf!

We stayed at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort during the Christmas season and overall had a pleasant experience, especially for a park-focused stay. We really loved the fun movie-themed buildings, which created a great Disney atmosphere. Our kids especially enjoyed the theme—it truly felt magical for them. Transportation was also a strong point, as buses ran frequently to the theme parks, making it easy and convenient to get around. The front desk staff were very accommodating. They honored our request for a quiet room, and our room was even ready before the official check-in time, which we greatly appreciated. The on-site food court was another plus, offering plenty of options and making meals quick and convenient after long park days. That said, there are a few drawbacks to be aware of. The rooms are quite small, and a family of four can feel a bit cramped. Sound insulation is also limited—we could clearly hear plumbing noises when neighboring rooms were using the shower. Additionally, our experience with the bell services/luggage department was disappointing. The gentleman was not very helpful or friendly when we called to check on our luggage after a long day at the parks. Overall, All-Star Movies is a solid choice if you plan to spend most of your time in the theme parks and are looking for a fun, budget-friendly Disney hotel. While it’s not ideal for extended time in the room, we would consider returning for a park-heavy trip.

I would describe the hotel as acceptable. The hotel room was good, had just the necessary even though I felt the space was kind of reduced, my biggest issue was the food, there's only 1 cafeteria which serves the exact same menus all day, every day with turns boring at some point. However the good thing is that it includes the transportation to the parks, and even if you didn't use the transportation the parks are really close, so driving is also an option and the parking is included! The hotel is decorated pretty cool, so overall for a medium price hotel at Disney it has just the necessary things for your trip. It is important to mention that I went with my little brother, who has a year and a half, and the options of food were basically inexistent for a baby. However the personal is really friendly and most of them speak 2 languages.

We recently stayed at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort (Feb 12–18) and wanted to share some honest feedback. While we love visiting Disney and appreciate the cast members we interacted with, our room had a showerhead that was only partially working, and when we removed the main bedding we found yellow stains on the sheets, which was very disappointing and not what we expect in terms of cleanliness. We did report this to the front desk during our stay and they were polite and helpful, but we hope management takes room maintenance and housekeeping standards seriously so future guests have a better experience. Its sad when you pay the amount we did and have bad experiences.
