Hi there, Shelby, and welcome to planDisney!
I'm so glad you stopped by with one of my favorite
Walt Disney World Resort topics, Disney's All-Star Resorts! I love how the three resort hotels offer varied theming, so there's something for everyone. But, in my opinion, even though I hold fond adolescent memories of my family's first magical vacation at Disney's All-Star Sports, it doesn't get more classically Disney than
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort. With larger-than-life statues in sections themed after movies that defined so many childhoods (I definitely had a 101 Dalmatians-themed bedroom), it appeals to the nostalgia of more mature Mouseketeers (like Gordon Bombay fangirls) while still allowing younger Guests to feel that they've stepped into the middle of something magical.
I'm happy to share that in addition to the magical atmosphere, Guests of Disney's All-Star Movies Resort have access to wall-dispensed body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in their rooms. You'll also find a more expansive offering of toiletries (for those of us who inevitably leave something at home each trip) available for purchase at
Donald's Double Feature conveniently located in Cinema Hall. While you're in Cinema Hall, don't forget to stop by
World Premiere Food Court. After all, no magical vacation is complete without at least one plate of Mickey waffles!
Finally, did you know that as a Guest of one All-Star Resort, you have access to the swimming pools at all three? Since the
Fantasia Pool will likely still be undergoing refurbishment during your vacation, I suggest popping over to Disney's All-Star Music where you can enjoy the
Calypso Pool starring the Three Caballeros. It gives a tropical vibe that instantly puts me in 'vacation mode'.
I hope this was helpful, Shelby, and that you feel ready to star in your own magical vacation. If any additional questions arise as you are planning, please
stop back by. Hakuna matata. I'm always happy to help!
Thinking of the happiest things,
Lizzie
