Review: In April 2008 we stayed at three different hotels
ranging from 2, 3 & 5 star hotels. The Disney World All Star Resort on
Disney property rated 2 stars by AAA was by far the cleanest and best
deal for the money than the 3 and 4 star rated hotels. The food at the
food court was very good and reasonably priced as compared to the higher
rated hotels. Our steak dinner for two at the five star hotel for
example cost $42 without drinks which we had to put in the garbage. Our
hot turkey dinner at the All Star food court on the
other hand cost $9 and was top notch. This hotel inside and out is
extremely clean and well kept with very helpful staff.

Review: We visited Disney for the first time and stayed at
All Star Sports! It was a great value for $80 a night. Our room was in
the Surf's Up building on the ground level just steps from the pool. The
food court was great and offered lots of variety. Our kids loved the
pools after a long day at the park. The arcade was pretty awesome and is
located right beside the pool area. Mom and Dad were able to relax alone
by the pool while the kids won tickets at the arcade. Our whole
experience was awesome! Can't wait to visit again - I plan to stay at
All Star Sports again! Hopefully even get the same room!

Review: My husband and I took our 2 children in 2005. They
were 9 and 7 at the time. Stayed at the all star sports and had a great time.
Confirmed a room by the football field, but they did not have a room available
when we got there. Upgraded us to a room by the pool which was so convenient.
Wanted a value resort but on Disney property. Shuttle
service was excellent. Staff was excellent. $34 for breakfast for 4 people is
pretty cheap if you ask me. Had dinner there on the last night of our
stay...lots of choices, bill came to $42. Went again to Disney in 2007 and
stayed off site at another hotel because we wanted a kitchen. Never used it..
The hotel was ok, but not great. In March of 2009 we are going back. We offered
our boys The Nickelodeon Hotel with all of its amenities, or the Caribbean Beach
on Disney property with the boats and water slides. Obviously, these 2 hotels
are way more than All Star. They asked if we could stay at the All Star again
because they loved it so much the first time!!! We said absolutely!!! With
Disney properties, you know what you are getting, and there are no surprises.

Review: We stayed at the All Star Sports Resort for
one week during the first week of December 2004. My husband and I and
our two boys ages 12 and 10. We had a great time. Everything about the
hotel is larger than life! The shuttle service to the parks was
awesome. We never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus to any park. It
was so nice at the end of the day at the park, to get on a bus and sit
back and relax on the way home. It was also a great service to be able
to send our parcels back to our hotel complimentary. It saved us
lugging around more than we had to. We had an awesome time! Staying
on-site is the only way to go! Thanks Disney!

Review: Every year for the past 5 years we have been
staying at ALL STAR SPORTS and enjoy it
so much...The room is nice and clean and we always
request Surf's Up building to be near pool, restaurant, and bar.
After a day enjoying the parks, it's nice to
come back to our room and go out to enjoy the
pool etc. What a beautiful view we always have , it feels very tropical
with the surfboards and all the palm trees
surrounding the resort. We just love it there and
will definitely be there again next year.

Review: When you book a room at the All
Star you may have to pay more for a pool view. My travel agent told me
if I didn't book that, I'd have a view of the parking lot. Well, yes,
our room was toward the parking lot, but there were large trees and
beautiful landscaping all around. You could barely see the parking lot.
However, we tried the burgers from the food court. Maybe it's just that
we're used to beef from the big, hefty cows we have in Nebraska as
opposed to the skinny ones they have in Florida (you get to see a lot
when you drive), but, the meat tasted awful!! The buns were excellent,
and the lettuce and especially the tomato were crisp and fresh, but we
had to throw the meat away. Otherwise, I would recommend that if you
book into the sports, request the surfing section. That is where the
pool is, and is it ever beautiful. Very tropical.

Review: My family of four went to Disney
when our children were 10 and 7 years old. We were very happy with
the All Star Sports. The rooms were clean and neat, a little
small, but we knew that ahead of time. We spent so much time at
the parks, that we weren't planning to stay at the hotel for anything
other than sleep. It was fun to be out late at night, on the
"football" field, running and playing. The
transportation to and from the parks was excellent. ALL the Disney
staff were great. We can't wait to go back this year and we plan
on staying at the ALL Stars again.

Review: For $80 a night, this is a deal.
Pools were large and available. A hot tub would have been nice.
Disney transportation was convenient and quick to all the parks.

Review: My family has visited Disney
World many times and we have found that for the money, staying at any of
the All Star Resorts is by far the best bet. The rooms are smaller
than the moderate to expensive rooms, but you are not in your rooms for
extensive periods of time except for sleeping. We have stayed at
several of the moderate priced resorts also and keep coming back to the
All Star Resorts simply for the feeling of a far more family oriented
property. We have also stayed off grounds on occasions but have
given that up because of the price at the All Star Resorts. I
would recommend any family coming to Disney for the first time (with a
family of 4 or less) to spend the extra money to stay on grounds at any
of the All Star resorts versus saving a few dollars to stay off
property. It will be worth the little bit extra you will pay.
Any of the All Star Resorts are highly recommended by this family!!
Our kids are now 16 and 14 and we can't wait to come back to the most
magical place on earth.

Review: In 1998 we stayed at the All Star Sports Resorts and absolutely
loved it!! We had stayed off the property in the past and there is no comparison.
The staff was very helpful......the rooms were immaculate...and their size was
fine for a family of four. The food at the food court was reasonably
priced and portions were good and so was the taste. Housekeeping was awesome!
We would head to the park for early entry every day with the intention of
returning back to our room for lunch and an afternoon swim and so before we'd
leave....we'd call housekeeping to request early service. We were never
disappointed. Our children were so excited to see what "our maid had
done this time" that they were practically running back to our room.
Each day she would do something different with their stuffed animals. The
best was when she centered Pooh in the middle of the bed.....facing the tv......with
a banana in one hand and the tv converter in the other. It was something
none of us will ever forget! Please stay at a Disney property it will be a
choice that you won't regret. We can't wait to return!!!
