Resort Description
The All Star Movies Resort, the most recent of Disney's All Star
Resorts, opened in January 1999. Five film-inspired themed areas
round out the resort. Fantasia, Toy Story, 101 Dalmatians, the
Mighty Ducks and the Love Bug were some of Disney's most
beloved movies and now are immortalized as areas and buildings
that compile the All Star Movies Resort. As Disney loves to do
things larger than life, this resort is compliant with that theme. In
the 101 Dalmatians buildings, you'll find a 40 foot tall Pongo and a
35 foot tall Perdita, with Dalmatians characters along the railings
outside the buildings. There is a fire hydrant covering the outside
stairwell, with paw prints and dog bones "embedded" in the
cement walkways. A television screen frame (where you are the
"star") with a Dalmatian watching the TV, provides guests with
photo opportunities. Toy Story lovers will enjoy the 35 foot tall
Buzz Lightyear, a 25 foot tall Woody with Green Army Men lining
the tops of the building. A "Herbie" VW bug that is 5 times its
normal size adorns the Love Bug building. Sorcerer's
paraphernalia such as giant Sorcerer's hats, spell books, brooms
and buckets, ballerinas and nutcracker-like soldiers will be found
around the Fantasia buildings. Sports fans will be delighted at the
giant hockey sticks, pucks, nets and duck-billed masks found at
the Mighty Ducks buildings where 31 foot tall goalie masks cover
the outside stairwells. Being surrounded by these fun, colorful, and
whimsical icons only add to your 24 hour a day magical Disney
stay in the All Star Movies Resort.
TRANSPORTATION: Disney's All Star Movies Resort has its
own bus transportation that is not shared with other resorts.
Guests will get a Transportation Guide/Map upon checking in with
instructions on how to get just about anywhere on property, but
here are some of the more popular destinations.

Epcot bus Disney-MGM Studios: Take the MGM bus Animal
Kingdom: Take the Animal Kingdom bus Downtown Disney
Marketplace, Downtown Disney West Side, Pleasure Island and
Typhoon Lagoon: Take the Downtown Disney bus Blizzard

ROOMS: The newest All Star resort has 1,920 rooms. The rooms all feature a framed
poster and border of the building's movie theme. Each of these
rooms will have 2 double beds (or one king size bed which must
be requested when making your reservation), nightstand, small
table with 2 chairs, armoire, TV and a small, key-operated in-room
wall safe in the open closet area. A vanity area with a single sink
and mirror is separate from the tub and commode. Film reel tiles
surround the tub and shower curtains adorned with stars enclose
the shower area. The light fixtures also carry out the movie
theme, with popcorn box and star fixtures. There are 96
disabled-accessible rooms that may have a larger bathroom with a
wheelchair-accessible shower in place of a tub. Non-smoking and
connecting rooms may also be requested. The rooms are 260
square feet and sleep 4, or 4 plus a child under the age of 3 in a
crib. If there are more than 2 adults in a room, there will be an
additional charge of $10/night for each additional adult. Rooms
with a view of the pool or themed courtyards are available.
TIP: The Fantasia buildings are the closest to the food court,
bus stop and the Fantasia pool.
Those who prefer a lower traffic, quieter area, should request the
Love Bug buildings. Guests staying in the Mighty Ducks buildings
may find it closer to catch the bus at the stop in front of the All
Star Music Resort's Melody Hall. Check-in is at 4 p.m. and
checkout is at 11 a.m. A late checkout time may be requested, but
this should be requested upon your arrival.
DINING: As a budget resort, the All Star Movies does not have a
sit-down restaurant. The "World Premiere Food Court" offers a
bright and spacious atmosphere and has a wide variety of
offerings to tempt all taste buds. Hamburgers, pizza, rotisserie
chicken, pasta, barbecued ribs, sandwiches, salads, baked goods,
fruit and dinner specials are available to please your palate from 6
a.m. until 11 p.m. daily. Room service is limited to pizza, salads,
soft drinks and beer from 5 p.m. until midnight. The poolside bar,
"Silver Screen Spirits", serves a continental breakfast in the
morning and sandwiches, snacks and beverages for the remainder
of the day.
POOLS/RECREATION: Although Blizzard Beach is nearby,
guests who wish to swim at the All Star Movies will find two
themed pools here. The Fantasia pool is found between the
Fantasia buildings and Cinema Hall. A large Sorcerer Mickey
stands ready to work his magic at one end of the pool, where
water sprays from his fingers. Between the Mighty Duck
buildings, and not far from the 101 Dalmatians buildings, you'll find
the Duck Pond pool. This pool is hockey-themed with face-off
circles painted on the bottom of the pool as well as on the deck,
and Goofy the goalie. Guests may bring the towels from their
rooms for use at the pool and call housekeeping for additional
towels for your room to replenish your supply. A kiddie pool is
found beside the Fantasia pool. Change-rooms and restrooms are
located at each pool area. In Cinema Hall, the "Reel Fun Arcade"
provides guests with state-of-the-art video games for their
enjoyment. Between the Toy Story buildings and Cinema Hall,
you'll find the children's playground where the little tykes can burn
off some energy.
