Hi Judy,
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! With so many Disney Resort hotels to choose from at Walt Disney World Resort, it is so important that you find one that suits your needs.
It looks like at this time there are no refurbishments in progress at
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. I do see that
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort is scheduled for routine maintenance at the Fantasia Pool from January 2024 through April 2024. I also checked
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort and did not see any current announcements regarding planned refurbishments. I’m sure this is good news for your September visit!
Regarding buses, I reached out to a Cast Member who told me that typically when the theme parks open, the first buses to the theme parks are shared by all three All-Star Resorts. As the day goes on, and in the evenings when you are leaving the theme parks, each All-Star Resort should have its own bus back to the Resort. In my opinion, this is perfect for the end of the day when you’ve got tired feet and want to return to your Disney Resort with no additional stops.
If you choose not to use the complimentary bus transportation, you may also use ride-share services, such as the
Disney Minnie Van Service through Lyft. These services charge based on distance traveled, so you’ll need to check in the ride-share service app to determine the fee.
Did you see the announcement that
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning for another Halloween season? Event dates begin August 11, 2023 and run through November 1, 2023. Guests of select Disney Resort hotels can purchase tickets beginning April 27, 2023 and ticket sales open to everyone on May 2, 2023. My family loves
Mickey’s Boo-To-You Parade and we spend the rest of our trip singing the song!
I hope my answer helps you with your Disney Resort hotel decision, Judy! I know wherever you stay, you’ll have a magical vacation! Please
reach out again if you have any future questions!
