Hello James David,
Welcome back to planDisney! It's great to hear you're considering a stay at
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. As a guest of the Disney Resorts Collection, you'll enjoy a
variety of benefits designed to make your vacation both magical and convenient. These perks include complimentary transportation to and from the parks, early theme park entry, the ability to book Lightning Lane selections a few days earlier than non-Disney Resort Guests, and the immersive theming that keeps you in the Disney spirit throughout your stay.
At Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, you'll be surrounded by sports-themed decor celebrating football, baseball, basketball, and more. The
End Zone Food Court offers many dining options to satisfy any craving, making it a convenient spot to refuel before or after your park adventures.
Regarding your question about the automated checkout system at the End Zone Food Court, the AI-powered self-checkout was part of a trial that began in December 2024 and concluded in January 2025. The standard checkout process has since resumed. I spoke with a Cast Member on your behalf and confirmed that you can pay with cash at this location and at most venues throughout Walt Disney World Resort. However, please note that not all checkout stations may have cash registers; look for the line with a Cast Member, and you should be ready! To ensure a seamless experience, you might consider alternative payment methods such as using your
Disney band linked to your Disney Resort reservation, a Key to the World Card, or your credit card.
Additionally, I highly recommend taking advantage of
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering through the My Disney Experience app. This feature lets you place orders and pay directly from your mobile device. We often use this service while waiting in line for attractions, so our meals are ready for pick up when we arrive. It's a fantastic way to save time and customize your dining experience.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance as you plan your visit.
Cheers,
Brent
