Hi there, Holly, and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you will be in the middle of the magic TODAY! In my opinion, Disney's All-Star Resorts are some of
Walt Disney World Resort's best-kept secrets. With their fun theming, proximity to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and
benefits available to Disney Resort hotel guests, it's hard to beat the value they offer at their price point.
My husband and I have stayed at all three of Disney's All-Star Resorts on numerous occasions over the past decade and love the updated feel the refurbished rooms have given to the Value Resort. With their clean lines and pops of color, they are modern, efficient, and inviting. In fact, we returned to
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort for the first time in several years earlier this month and were delighted to enjoy one of their refurbished rooms. While I was unable to receive an official confirmation that all buildings in the resort had completed their refurbishments, my research indicates that it is very likely you will receive an updated room. While it is not guaranteed, if an updated room is important to you, you can always indicate your preference at check-in.
As a bonus tip, did you know that Guests of one All-Star Resort have access to the pools at all three? Personally, I never pass up the opportunity to dip my toes in the
guitar-shaped, Three Caballeros-themed pool in the Calypso Section of
Disney's All-Star Music Resort, so I encourage you to check it out if your schedule allows.
I hope this was helpful, Holly, and that your arrival day is a magical one! If you have any additional questions during your vacation, don't hesitate to stop back by.
I'm always happy to help!
Hakuna Matata,
Lizzie
