Batter Up: The All Star Sports Resort!
Disney's All Star Sports resort is dedicated to the wide world of sports, and the themes include surfing, baseball, basketball, tennis, and football. These sports themes are carried through not only the rooms, but whole buildings as well!
The resort is one of four Disney Value resorts, the lowest cost hotels on Disney property. Although the hotel includes 1,920 rooms, it does fill up quickly, so making reservations as far in advance as possible is recommended. "Preferred" rooms are available at around $12 extra a night, which will buy you a room closer to the pool, guest facilities, or the food court.
Rooms are roughly 260 square feet in size, and can accommodate up to 4 guests. All Star Sports does not contain any family suites -- check All Star Music instead. Also note that rooms with king beds cannot be reserved. They are first come first serve.
All the resorts also charge an extra bed tax with the stay -- about 1.5% more than the Pop Century resort. Keep this in mind when budgeting, as it can add up if you're staying multiple days.
Cool Fun
The resort features two pools, Surfboard Bay and the Grand Slam, plus a small kiddie pool. There is no pool set aside strictly for for adults, though. But hey, the themed pools are big enough for everyone!
There is also an arcade, near the food court, and a playground located between the surfing and football themed buildings. Laundry and a gift shop are on site as well, if you are staying more than a few days.
Dinner is Served
There is a food court in the resort called the "End Zone", in Stadium Hall. Fare includes burgers, fries, pizza, deli-style foods, and vegetarian offerings. There is no table service restaurant in the hotel, but pizza delivery is available to your room.
Other Info
The Disney All Star Sports resort is located near the Animal Kingdom, and includes free transportation by bus to all Disney theme parks, as well as Downtown Disney. The buses can get crowded when the resorts are busy, so keep this in mind when planning your day, as you may have to wait for the next bus. Never fear, though, as they arrive roughly every 10 to 15 minutes.
