Disney's All-Star Sports Resort

We stayed at the All-star sports for our Florida trip. The room was amazingly comfortable with a soft bed. we were able to get a first floor room by the pool and the parking which was great. The staff at the front desk could not have been more helpful. They were simply amazing. I realize it’s a value Disney property, but they don’t treat you like that at all. I felt like we were in the best Disney property . It was clean, comfortable and quiet although the pool was a little loud at night, but there are children there.. the pool is open till 11 PM which it’s 100° out. That is nice. Read less

Check in was great, easy and no waiting around. First time so given a map and good explanation of where everything was. Reception also helped set up our Disney magic bands and explained the memory maker which was so helpful. We had a ground floor room. Wasnt massive but wasnt tiny. The second double bed folded into the wall if we wanted the space for a table but we never bothered. Bathroom was spacious enough - theres a toilet/bath/shower room with a rolling door which leads into a dressing area with a sink again with a rolling door to the bedroom which we liked due to having our own space to change (teenagers!!). Housekeeping came every other day. Tipping os confusing, we would leave money out, some would take it, some wouldnt. We didnt have envelopes or anything so just left a scrap bit of paper! There was a good fridge in the room with a good TV and Alexa style tablet that you could set alarms on - very good themed character alarms! Only reason I dropped a star was the room noise. You can hear other peoples alarms going off very early! And if its your lye in day very frustrating. You can also hear if people stand at their doors chatting, or rolling doors always rolling! And people/children running across the rooms. Not really Disneys fault for loud / inconsiderate people but obviously walls and floors are thinly made! Food court I thought was lovely and reasonably priced. Same food most days but enough choice if eating there at time through our stay. The most valuable thing we purchased was the refillable disney mugs. Honestly this is a golden tip - all the coffee/tea/hot choc/fizzy drinks/water you can drink anytime of the day. You can even use them at all the other Disney resorts. We would fill up heading out in the morning, then in the parks get ice water from the quick service stations (we also took mini cordial juice to mix with the water) then if we had downtime in a park would shoot to a resort if we wanted something fizzy. Transport to the parks is only via bus from all stars but consistent from the start of the day to the end. We would literally walk out the hotel and never waited more than 5 minutes or our bis was already there! Only issue we had was when we went the waterpark - as it didnt open until 1000, we wanted to get there for 930. Theres no direct bus so you have to get the disney springs and change there. Bus didnt come until 0940 but the driver was very good and took is straight to the waterpark which was very kind. Pools - we actually only did the main pool, didnt venture to the other one which I guess wouldve been quieter but the main pool was never heaving, there was always sunloungers. The lifeguards were fantastic, their not like that in the UK! We even witnessed them being tested by a manager and there was no hesitation, they were right in the water so ‘save’ someone. Brilliant. Taxi’s - we used Lyft and Uber all the time to go to other places like Universal/Walmart etc, no issues ordering through the app and they pick you up outside reception. Overall I would stay again. We loved it here and the Disney magic definitely shone. Read less

It’s very much focused on Disney making money. A lot of people are stuck in the hotel with the same food day in day out all fast food and no flavour. We had two people with difficulties walking we were stated on the booking and Disney put us in a far away location. We have been to Florida 5 times now always in hotels room only or villas. These were far better value even hiring the cost of car. We will never go to Florida again Read less

Have previously stayed in All-Star movies POFQ and Caribbean beach and decided to give the sports a go as our child wanted to stay there. The room was small as we were 3adults 1 child but for us it was just a place we slept as we spent all our time in the parks. Both beds were very comfortable we all slept well ,our towels were replenished very quickly after our requests on the Disney Alexa. We paid for preferred room but it’s not a massive resort so a standard would have been ok. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The buses were really good the only buses we had long waits were to and from Disney Springs the buses to and from the parks were very regular. The food in the food court was reasonable we ate there twice the family pizzas are great value. Definitely buy the refillable mug we had great use from these. My only gripe is when I stay in a hotel I expect my room to be cleaned daily and in the 10 days we were there our beds were made up twice I think Disney really need to look at this as you are paying a lot more to stay onsite in a value hotel at Disney than if you stayed off site. I would definitely return to the Allstar resorts as they are an affordable option to stay onsite. Read less
