If you're thinking about going to Disney without spending a lot of money, you've certainly heard of the Disney All Star.

Known for being Disney's budget resort, this hotel is the main option among Brazilians who travel to visit the parks at Casa do Mickey.

So much so that we even have a small treat offered by the company (I'll tell you what it is!).

To help you plan your trip, we've decided to list everything you need to know about All Star.

Come on!

Disney's All-Star Hotels

Well, first we need to clarify something that for those who have been there is obvious, but for those who are looking for this hotel for the first time it may seem confusing.

The truth is that Disney's All Star hotel is actually 3 different hotels.

They are totally separate hotels and different in many ways.

They are side by side, and their rooms are identical in terms of comfort but very different in decor.

The same goes for their common areas, there are many similarities between these hotels so much so that we cannot choose a better one among the 3.

It's more a matter of personal taste because the big difference between them is just their theme.

So, let's talk a little more about each of them.

Disney's All Star Movies Hotel

I said just above that it was not possible to select a better one among them right? But I still have to confess that this is my favorite.

Which in no way means he is better than the others Disney hotels's All Star.

I just identify much more with the theme of this hotel and whenever I stay there I feel entirely at Disney!

Disney's All Star Movies Rooms

You can choose Woody's area, Buzz Lightyear, One Hundred and One Dalmatians and even Herbie the Beetle!

Disney's All-Star Movies Resort brings together several characters of Disney's biggest blockbusters to define its 5 hotels and central building.

The rooms themselves have been renovated to a slightly more standard room. We think it's great because the new rooms don't have carpet and have a much more modern look.

There are a few different room types, the standard, the preferred and the family suite.

With a wealth of details, this resort will delight children of all ages who have always been fans of these great films!

The room has everything you need: alarm clock, dial-up internet, safe, iron and ironing board, television and telephone.

All Star Movies offers 2 swimming pools for its guests.

The Fantasia Pool is the larger of the two and is decorated with the sorcerer's apprentice Mickey Mouse character.

The other is shaped like an ice hockey rink in honor of the The Mighty Ducks, a Disney classic from the 90s.

And there's more fun at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort: in the pool itself, a special area is always reserved for children to play freely, as well as a playground and arcade

You'll find excellent food at the food court, called the World Premiere Food Court, as well as a pleasant poolside bar.

This food court surprised me a lot by the amount of options available here.

Don't expect high quality food, but it's a good alternative to being so close to your room for the days you want to eat right there!

And if you prefer, you can order a pizza in your room from 4pm to midnight (we did, and the pizza is HUGE).

Follow the video below of when we stayed there for the last time!

Disney's All-Star Music Hotel

Disney's All-Star Music Resort offers the best of music in resort form for Disney lovers!

Imagine a Disney Resort where music, entertainment and entertainment are the themes.

Disney's All-Start Music Rooms

All Star Music also has 3 different room types, Standard Room, Preferred Room and Family Suite.

They are all colorful, very comfortable and meet different needs.

Standard and Preferred rooms have 2 double beds, sleep 4 people and overlook the courtyard, pool and parking lot, as per your choice.

The difference between them is that the preferred room is close to Melody Hall, restaurants, shops and transportation.

Being very advantageous for those who have some limitation or difficulty of locomotion.

I emphasize that here the rooms also have an alarm clock, remote Internet connection, safe, iron and ironing board, telephone and television, among others.

Disney's All-Star Music pools are of course also inspired by Music!

Outside the hotel buildings, you can see equipment and references to sports in giant and super colorful sizes.

Some of the benefits you can find here are the presence of ATMs and currency exchange bureaus, as well as child care services with monitors who speak several languages, including Portuguese.

Disney's All-Star Sports Rooms

The entire Disney All-Star Sports hotel is divided into sub-themes such as basketball, football, tennis, baseball and surfing.

In all, there are 5 pairs of buildings, with 3 floors each, and several sports-themed accommodations.

Equipped with two sensational pools, the largest has a decor inspired by surf beaches and is therefore called Surfboard Bay.

The other, the Grand Slam Pool, has Goofy himself as a central figure, dousing people swimming in this baseball field-shaped pool area.

The Resort also features a playground for games and also an arcade room.

What are the benefits of Disney All Star Hotels?

It can be said without a doubt that among the Disney hotels, this is one of the favorites of foreign tourists, especially Brazilians.

There are 4 main advantages of All Star over other Disney resorts that, in my opinion, help explain its popularity.

First, he is one of the Disney budget hotels, as well as Pop Century and Art of Animation.

Because of this, their rates are more affordable for those who have a coin a little undervalued like the Real. So, great point.

Second, the Disney All Star is one of the top Mickey Mouse resorts in terms of entertainment.

Of course, those who want to have fun can go to the Disney parks, but why stop playing when you get to the hotel to rest?

At All Star, there are many entertainment options. For starters, the resort has the Cinema in the Light of the Stars, an outdoor movie screening by the main pool at each of the resort's 3 main hotels (yes, the All Star is made up of a trio of hotels, but more on that later).

In addition to the sensational movie theater (it's Disney, right?), the park also offers a complete game room with arcades, playground for the youngest and even morning jogging sessions for adults.

Running track

Can you imagine keeping in good shape while traveling and having fun? The All Stars Sports Resort has a running and walking track in the middle of the green area that is more than 1.5 kilometers long.

Sports and fitness expert Raul Barbosa, editor of the Guia55 consumer assistance website, says that by offering guests the possibility to practice sports such as running and walking during a trip, the All Stars Sports Resort wins even more the hearts of fans of various sports. ?Everything at the resort breathes sports. The decor, the activities, everything. There's nothing more sensible than having space for guests to practice their exercises?, he says.

game room

Game rooms in hotels are usually a great source of fun for those who want to relax after going to the Disney parks. However, the one at All Stars Sports Resort has a difference.

There, the game room is filled with arcades and video games related to the main sports in the world. It's where you can compete with your friends and demonstrate your virtual talents in each of your favorite sports!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, All Stars Sports Resort is currently closed. But don't worry: soon, it should be back and up and running, even more so with the United States developing a mass vaccination program successfully.

themed pools

To complete, all hotels have themed pools, some quite famous: you've probably seen a photo or video of the famous swimming pool with the keyboard, for example

The third major advantage of staying at Disney All Star over other Orlando lodging options is that it has free shipping to airport and to the parks, but also from these places.

Other Disney resorts also have this attraction.

Finally, there is a little gift, a kind of treat, that Disney prepared for Brazilians.

Not at any other resort, as far as we know, but at All Star: Brazilian employees specifically positioned to assist us on the journey.

Of course, there are Brazilian employees at the other Disney resorts, but they do normal operational duties.

Often you won't even know they are Brazilians.

But at All Star, during the May to August, Disney hires some employees to help receive Brazilian tourists.

They are located throughout the resort and also at the reception, helping with translations, information and anything necessary for your best stay there.

Cool huh?

What is it like to stay at Disney All Star

As we listed at the beginning of the post, Disney All Start hotels are actually three different hotels within the resort: the All Star Music, O All Star Sports it's the All Star Movies.

The difference between them is basically just the decoration: the first is decorated with a music theme, the second with sports and the third with Disney movies.

Each of the hotels is formed by a few buildings.

Each building is decorated with a theme. You could see the gigantic size of the place, right?

Aside from the decor (which really are a charm on their own, I recommend you take at least one night to walk around the entire resort, seeing all the details), there is no practical difference between the hotels.

All have two double beds, a bathroom, a TV cabinet and drawers, as well as a sink. It is the standard of American and Disney hotels.

In fact, there is an option to family room at All Star Music, which sleeps up to 6 people (with a sofa bed) and has a micro kitchen.

The difference in this case is temporary: remember that I I said that Pop Century has been completely renovated recently?

Well, the same thing is happening with All Star Disney right now and it should last a little while longer.

In practice, some rooms at All Star Movies have a new, more beautiful and elegant decor.

The structure is the same (I think the only difference is the sink inside the bathroom, instead of outside as it used to be).

At the moment, only the preferred rooms have been renovated and some of the standard rooms.

A little explanation: at Disney All Star there are preferred and standard rooms. Preferred are located in buildings that are closer to everything important (and are currently fully renovated).

The defaults are a little further away and not yet renewed.

Regarding Food, All Star does not stand out much.

Neither coffee nor any other meal is included in the reservation, but the expenses in the food court are not very high and the options are many.
