Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort

The theme of Walt Disney World’s All-Star Sports is of course various Sports!

Each individual building has its own theme: Football, Baseball, Basketball, Tennis, and Surfing. Large 25-40 foot tall icons (statues) decorate the exterior of each building. You’ll see giant tennis racquets, surfboards, and football helmets to name a few.

The room pictures in this post are current room pics. All-Star Sports will begin a room renovation project in early to mid 2021. THe rooms will then look like the renovated rooms at Pop Century (See the Pop post for pics).

Guest Rooms

Pop Century room, identical to All-Star Movies with Murphy Bed/Table Combo

All Star rooms offer 2 double beds, which sleep four. A crib may be requested for children under 3 years old. All the All-Stars have now completed a multi-year remodel, which had its good and bad points. A small number of single King rooms are also available.

All-Star Music King Room

The good is the addition of a Queen Murphy bed/table combo and a platform queen bed. These take the place of 2 traditional queens. This make for a roomier room, with luggage and other stuff stored under the queen and the Murphy up there is more floor space thank in the past and a coffee maker finally became an All-Star feature.

Pop Century Room Murphy Bed Down

The bad is the removal of any individuality in the different All-Star Resort’s room theming. A room on Sports looks identical to one in Movies with only small framed artwork changes between the two. The rooms at Pop Century are also nearly identical.

Pop Century Dresser and Coffee Bar

Features include a table and two chairs, dresser, TV, coffee maker and small fridge, ironing board and dryer, small safe, and hair dryer. Ample plugs and USB charging ports are available.

All-Star Movies Bathroom

The bathroom proper is off of the single sink vanity area and separated by a door. The vanity area has a curtain to keep light from the vanity area beaming those still trying to sleep.

Disney World has mead some recent changes to package delivery only at the All-Star Music Resort. They have installed a locker system.

• At theis time, guests who do not use online check-in will continue to be required to pick up packages and groceries at Bell Services or arrange for in person delivery with the vendor directly.“

Our Thoughts

The All-Star Resorts are on the lower end of all Disney scales (cost, room size, amenities, activities). Having said that they serve several audiences. They are perfect for a young family on a budget, we stayed at All-Stars when our kids were younger, They are good for those who know they don’t care about more in a room as they’ll only go to it to sleep, and they’re good for solo travelers or couples who don’t want a bigger fancier room. I’ve often stayed at All-Stars on solo research trips.

The lobby is loud in both decibels and decoration.

The food court is very busy every morning as guests grab breakfast before heading to the theme parks.

The three All-Stars are all the same, just with different decorations except for the family suites in All-Star Music.
