Travel party of 8, 3 rooms. Checked in online, arrived to resort by 10:30am. Requested ajoining rooms, or at least nearby, NOT GRANTED. After first night we were told we needed to change rooms due to the Special Olympics checking in. UNACCEPTABLE! Room was not clean when we opened door, dirty towels left by mousekeeping. Bugs in room. TERRIBLE. Will never stay here again. Food court was disorganized, understaffed and crowded. There is no fridge in the rooms either.

Pros:

- No hotel room theming - No table service restaurant - Loud screaming kids at breakfast and dinnerReviewed by Johnd Review Date: 04/11/2024

Boring, pool is alright. If you don't wanna spend too much but want early access to parks. This is it.
Pros:
- Early park entry - Easy breakfast - Decent pool - Cool themingCons:
- No water slide - Basic rooms - Far away from parks (longer bus ride)Reviewed by MaureenandKathy Review Date: 08/28/2023

My family takes a trip to Disney every few years. My mom and I are both coming from different places so it's usually cheaper for us to fly in a day early and stay at one of the All Star resorts. This year, we stayed at movies and I gotta say I was floored. I don't know when they did it, but the renovations are amazing. The room had a bed and a table pull down which was perfect for us. The bathroom was AMAZING and was better than the one we had at our moderate resort for the rest of the trip. What jumped out at me the most, though, was the food. The food court here was better than almost every other food court at the other hotels. Our dinner here was excellent. If you are not going to be back at the resorts often and just need a bed, I'd highly recommend this one over the other values.
Pros:
Food!!!! Renovated rooms. Bathrooms are great. Food!!!!Cons:
All Star resorts are definitely kid heavy and loud so keep that in mind.Reviewed by Brandi9479 Review Date: 01/23/2023

Cast members were wonderful, it's clean, and the bus transportation was better than expectedCons:

Disney Magic can surely be found staying at All Star Movies. You are surrounded by larger than Life statues, everything is themed and adorable for families of any age. Yes, you may find a cheaper hotel outside of Disney but you will not remain fully immersed in the Disney bubble if you do that. I'm from Mass and I cannot find a resort like this for around the $200.00 price tag. The food court is basic food but a lot to choose from and self serve drink machines for soda, coffee, tea are fantastic. the lobby is cheery and there is a good arcade to hang out in as well. Yes, your means of transportation is only by bus, but who cares, they are decorated Disney buses. The rooms are updated and comfortable, no complaints here! If you want an inexpensive fun hotel choice, this will work for you!
Pros:
Price tag is on the lower end for Disney resorts. Fun atmosphere, tons of food optionsCons:

I have stayed in all of the All-Star locations over the years for one trip or another and so this review applies to Music, Movies, and Sports.
Look here, buckos! Are the All-Star Resorts the most amazing and luxurious resorts you will have ever stayed in? No, most definitely not. However, as the most value-centric locations on property, they are meant to be exactly that: VALUES.
Many people compare the All-Star Resorts to Disney World Motel6. However, as someone who has stayed in many a Motel6 in my time, that is NOT the case.
The All-Stars are simplistic, themed cheesily, and have just the basics in terms of food options. However, all of that is exactly why you pay the low price to stay here! The rooms are largely pretty well-maintained (especially with the recent room refurbs), are a decent enough size, and the food options do just what you need them to: sustain you.
I have stayed here as a child, as a high schooler, and as an adult, and have enjoyed each experience. If you are like us and prefer to spend as much time in the parks as possible and just have a decent place to lay your head until you go to the next park bright and early the next day, then the All-Stars do exactly what you need them to do.
Now, I will say that if possible, we prefer to stay at Pop Century over the All-Star resorts for the sole reason of the Skyliner. However, for a price that lets be honest is not really any higher than many hotels in most places around the country these days (I once stayed in an Econo Lodge that was legitimately concerning for a similar price as a night at the All-Stars), these resorts do the job.
Pros:
Value price for a well-maintained resort Still on property so still get Disney theming Great place to lay your head in between park days New refurbs freshen up the roomsCons:
Amenities are a bit limited (though you can’t expect too much!) These CAN get a bit loud/crowded around school/band trip seasonsReviewed by Honeybear0517 Review Date: 05/13/2022

If you are just looking for a place to rest,refuel and recharge for your next park day, this is the resort for you. The rooms are updated,clean and comfortable.
Overall this was the best choice for our family.
Pros:
Fast bus service, hardly ever had to wait more than 5 min for a bus to arrive Clean and comfortable resort at an affordable price.Cons:
While we didnt have a "bad" meal at our resort, I do wish they would expand the quick service menuReviewed by huskyfan2000 Review Date: 05/02/2022

If you're like me, you do have kids and basically spend 0 time at the hotel. Just enough to crawl back from long day at the parks and fall asleep before my head hits the pillow. This place is perfect. I don't need something ultra top end for that. Clean, quiet, well maintained. Perfect.
