As its name suggests, the All-Star Movies Resort is themed on Disney films and the 5 pairs of motel style three storey blocks are named after 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia, Herbie the Love Bug, Mighty Ducks and Toy Story including Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Rex.

Everything is larger than life with 30-40 foot high statues decorating the whole of the resort and each room has a film theme with large star shaped light fittings.

Rooms/Suites

The rooms are small and fairly basic; there is no closet, just a clothes rail and a shelf in the bathroom, a table and chair and a television.

Standard rooms are around 260 square feet and will sleep 4 (plus a baby in a crib). Most rooms come with either a king-size bed or two double beds.

There are two types of standard room; Standard Location and Preferred Location. With Preferred Location you are closer to the pool and guest facilities and hence have less distance to walk.

All prices quoted are the general Disney rates (rack rate) per night for 2008 and do not include taxes. Occupancy is based on two adults sharing, extra charges may apply for additional adults. Prices vary by season (see sidebar) and sometimes offers are available. 2007 rates can be seen after the 2008 rates.

Dining

None of the Value Resorts have table service restaurants but there is a quick-service World Premiere Food Court serving a variety of American cuisine from four unique dining shops and a deli-style market.

Recreation

There are two heated swimming pools, the main Sorcerer Mickey themed Fantasia Pool and the quieter ice hockey themed Duck Pond Pool. For smaller children there is a wading pool.

The hotel also has an amusement arcade where the children can play a variety of video and pinball games in the Cinema Hall close to the Food Court.
