Disney’s All Star Resorts have a lot going for them. There is the All Star Sports, Music and Movies resorts. Each location has rooms that fit 4 adults. All Star Music Resort also has family suites that can fit up to 6 and have two bathrooms and a kitchenette with a sink area, mini fridge, microwave and a small table and chairs. Here are 9 reasons to give the All Star Resorts a chance starting with number 9 and working our way down to the top reason why you should love the All Star Resorts.
Number 9: Jogging trails. There is a half mile jogging trail that runs in front of all three properties. Run off all that food that you are eating that Disney World is famous for. It is a great location to do so.
Number 8: Close to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, Animal Kingdom is a park that a lot of people say they can get done in a half day so the closer the better to maximize your free park time. Get into Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and back to your resort quicker so you can take a nap, go swim or even use the jogging trail I mentioned above.
Number 7: Food and more food. The All Stars have some of the best choices in food courts with a lot of selections. There is also a lot of space for seating. I feel they have the largest seating areas on property.
Number 6: Arcade fun. I have stayed at many Disney properties and the arcades at the All Star Resorts are larger and way more fun. Just ask my kids. They have been disappointed with the arcades at the other locations we have stayed at.
Number 5: All three resorts are in walking distance of each other. Feel free to roam around and check out each resort and see what the food court has to offer. You never know you may just fall in love with one of the other All Star Resorts for your next trip.
Number 4: Larger families can stay at a family suite at the All Star Music. It is less expensive than the family suites at the Art of Animation. My own family has stayed at the All Star Music with the 4 of us and my mother. It was very comfortable and there was enough space for my husband and mother to both feel like they still had privacy from each other which is important when you are traveling with grandparents!
Number 3: Larger than life theming. Everything at the All Star Resorts is big. The themes are Music, Movies and Sports. If you are a movie lover you will find huge replicas of Toy Story and 101 Dalmatians to Name a few. If you are a sports fan you will find huge sport themed statues. Finally, if you are a music fan you will find larger than life musical references and the Calypso and Piano Pool are great.
Number 2: Kid friendly. All three All Stars are very kid friendly. There is no need to hush your children walking down halls at deluxe resorts. Kids can pose with their favorite larger than life movie characters or a giant football helmet. They can feel free to run around outside on the grounds as they are going to their rooms and burn off energy.
Number 1: Money. Who doesn’t love a good deal. The All Stars still offer shuttles to the Theme Parks, they still have food and pools. Maybe it isn’t as fancy as some of the other Disney World resorts but who needs fancy when you are going to be spending most of your time in the parks anyway. Save yourself some money and spend it on souvenirs or put it towards your next Disney World vacation.
