Have to agree with you on the night stands by the beds. I wear glasses too and need my water at night. Glad to see they have them!
These rooms are perfectly suitable for a solo traveler like me who spends most of their time in the parks and want to stay in the relative safety of the Disney bubble.
love all star music and movies! We always ask for top floor, the price esp with AP rate is fab!
Preferred room = loud Never will do a preferred room again would rather walk two more min and have a nice quiet experience. Pop century is my go to! Would love to see more videos like this from you, deni :)
My wife and I stayed there when our five kids were little. It was a great place. Have stayed at all three of the all stars. Now that it is just my wife and I that goes. We love pop, we love having the skyliner there.
22:27 Ahhhhhh, pool nights! With so much focus on the parks, people forget that a late night swim, especially with kids and family, can be more magical than the parks. Some of my favorite memories are of my girls swimming at night, playing with other kids, while parents just sit back and relax.
This resort was the first resort that we stayed at when our son was little. He loved buzz lightyear and he was so excited to see the giant buzz and woody.
Oh my goodness, jcr9531! I ❤ that!!
Hi Deni, another great video. Wishing you a very Happy Mother's Day. Take care.
Thank you so, so much, Bob! I hope that your weekend is wonderful!❤
I am staying at all star movie Resort in 110 already getting excited
Wonderful! I hope that you have a blast! 🎉
I am a solo traveler and have stayed at value resorts for 25 years. Had to drop Pop and AOA because they got stupid expensive. I currently have 4 stays booked and the total cost of all four trips is $2138 for a total of 18 nights. Music and Movies are my favorite. The preferred rooms are climbing in price so I’ll walk a couple of extra minutes. The old layout had the night stand easily accessible from both beds.
Our home resort, We've stayed at some others, but that one is special to my family.
I’ve stayed in the value resorts during the cheerleading competitions. The cheerleaders have always been great kids - never rowdy or out of control.
Deni love your hair, suits you well. I've stayed at all star music many times. The staff and management there are amazing.
As a local (I moved here from Maryland too!) I find good AP or FL resident deals at All Stars. We enjoy them but prefer Pop for gondola. Also recommend to all to request a Non Connecting Room! You will hear everything next door otherwise.
Just want to say I love your videos!
Planning my first trip over from the UK since 2019 and my first time staying in a All Star Resort, this video has been so useful.
Also, love the positive vibes you have across all your videos. The best Disney vlogs are feel good Disney vlogs like this. ❤️
You are so kind, Sean! Thank you so much for your sweet words, and I’m so glad that the video has helped you as you plan your first Value resort stay!❤️
I've stayed at all the value resorts except AoA, I just can't bring myself to pay the extra for it. When I stayed at Movies I was in Mighty Ducks and it's just a short walk to the lobby and buses. My only issues with the values are no cover at the bus stops and no hot tubs at the pools. I love the new rooms, the food courts have stepped up their game as well. I actually don't even dislike the buses, I drive down from Georgia so always have a car but park it and don't get in it again until I leave. I tend to stay at the values for a couple of nights at the beginning of a split stay. I've stayed at all the moderates except French Quarter, CSR is my favorite moderate. I've stayed at all the deluxe resorts except WL, for some reason it just never happens. I've also stayed at BWV and OKW. Oh, and we've even camped at the Fort in our RV. I've also stayed at Swan/Dolphin. My all time favorite resort is YC. I love the vibe of it and love being able to walk to both Epcot and HS.
This was one of my first resorts when I start bringing my children around the age of five they are in their twenties and thirties now me and my husband still love to go to Pop Century and Coronado. Pretty much stay in the moderates or Pop Century every year that I come to Disney. Thanks for the video very nice❤
Thanks for the great review!
When our son was little we always stayed at All-Stars. With our budget, we felt that we preferred 10 to 12 days at a Value over 5 to 6 days at a Moderate or 3 days at a Deluxe.
My favorite resort - Port Orleans Riverside! It is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful there
First time we took our kids (3 and 6 at the time) to Walt Disney World was in 2005 and we stayed at All-Star Movies. Absolutely loved our stay there. Nice to see it is still a good place to stay. Watching your review brought back a lot of good memories.
Really enjoyed the review. I’ve never stayed at an All Star resort. I’ve stayed at Pop Century 13 of my 25 trips. Nice to see how well they are doing there as another good option. Thank you so much for all your fantastic vlogs, they’re so informative.
Wow, great review and fun to watch. Accurate, too!
I like the value resorts because when my friend and I go we spend most of the time in the parks and not the room. When there’s just two people it works out great. I’ve only stayed at Pop Century and I liked it just fine. Many years ago back in the 80’s my then husband and I went to WDW for the first time. We only spent the weekend but still had a great time. We spent one night at the Poly and the second night at the Contemporary. I loved the Poly. Back then it was $100 per night. We thought that was so expensive. It was the 80’s after all. I can’t imagine what those cost now. This was a fun video.
I stayed at All Star Music and I will definitely stay again. The only warning I give - a bullet I dodged by a mere day...find out of there are any competitions going on. I missed the cheerleading competition...was checking in as they were checking out. It would have been a whole different stay had I been there the week before. Disney Marathon, spring break, grad and whatever the Christian gathering is (my friend was there then and there were young 'uns getting it on in every corner, behind every tree and every hallway. I can see the people who need things to look after the kids outside of park hours, they would probably want the mid-range ones with the kids clubs but All Stars is a great trio.
Love the review, Deni!! I wish there was more theming in the actual room that screams “All Star Movies” 🍿😀
Looks like a good option if you're looking for a value resort. I'm surprised about the food. Seems like an upgrade from when I stayed at All Star Sports and Music on trips long ago. Glad you enjoyed.
I was completely shocked about the food, pnyc1969! I’ll get in-depth with it in the dining review episode, but I was wowed.
@@deni_sunderly I'll look for it!
All Stars are great if you are not going to be spending a lot of time at the hotel. If you are doing parks/shopping/sight seeing and will be away - the All Stars are a great place to stay
Lovely
Thank you, Deni! I will be there in September, and I appreciated this!
I’ve never stayed at an all star, but I see some huge discounts for ap holders this summer 😮. If someone just spends the entire day at the park, it’s a good deal and well worth it
This is my family’s favorite resort! The one we always go back to. We wanna stay at deluxe resorts, but we always worry get can’t get the food that we can at Movies. There is always something that’s amazing, some items could be on a table service menu.
ASMovies is our fave resort,,, It was the first Disney resort we had ever stayed at and being movie buffs if was and still is a perfect fit for us...We are way past due for a stay and just loved seeing your review. TFS
We stayed at All Star Movies in 2017 in the 101 Dalmations area and loved it. We thought the food was great as well. Everything was clean and super cute. Thanks for the review!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it in 2017, Kortney! That area was sooo cute! ❤
Before Art of Animation was built, this was our home resort, but we still go back every once in a while because they take such good care of you! The whimsy is the best, money aside.
Thank you for you review as resort stay. AS Movie resort definitely makes you feel like you arrived at Disney with the overtop theming. On our first trip as a family (first for husband and son), they thought it was Walt Disney World. We really had a memorable vacation having this resort being our “home” in 2018. It’s always a contender when we look at booking a vacation.
really good, thorough review!
Thanks a million, Linda! ❤
Staying at movies in January February and October great place …food is soooo much cheaper and Good!
Totally agree! I hope that you have a great time during your stays! :)
Great haircut, Deni. Lookin Good!!
Thanks so, so much! ❤️
Another good review. You always put such a positive spin on everything. We've stayed at All Star Music and All Star Movies quite a few years ago before we became DVC members and prefer to use our membership at DVC resorts. But I like getting updates on all of the resorts. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for watching, Terry! I don’t blame you; have fun using those DVC points! ❤
Value - All Star Music
Moderate- French Quarter
Deluxe - Yacht Club
Very helpful, I think the refurbishment time frame for The Fantasia pool has been pushed back to 2025 (fingers crossed).
I have stayed at All Star Movies twice now and it is amazing. Love the merchandise store, got some nice villain pins there. Have yet to stay on the 101 Dalmatians side but I love that section the most. Fantasia and 2000 get some love with this resort and that is awesome as well. But yes love All Sar Movies. Will be staying at Art of Animation for my next trip for the first time. So Deni if you want to review it I would be ok with that.
Fun! Until my budget matches WDW prices again, I won’t be there, so you are my supplier for bits of the magic! Thanks, Deni, for your caring, joyous self!
We had your exact room 5706 in September. Ive stayed at ASM several times in different buildings.. the other fantasia building, mighty ducks and 101 dalmatians and that room was the only one to ever have the Mickey towel on the bed. Not sure why.
I appreciate that you showed a value resort. I personally don’t think there is much of difference between a value resort and moderate resort due to the exterior room door.
I agree with you, AS1628. An interior door makes a big difference. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
We stayed in the Mighty Ducks section and it was really quiet in that area
Seems very clean, nicely themed! I stayed at Art of Animation last July and it was PACKED with people and families, very loud doors slamming at Little Mermaid section. Was hard to relax until very late at night. (summer months) but I liked many things about it. We were with my friends 2 year old. She loved it. Only downfall was the noise. Thank you for your review!!
I was thinking the same thing! We’ve stayed at AoA during fall and winter off peak and it was so quiet (during Disney run events) but we just stayed at pop in June and the door slamming, thin walls was shocking!! I thought was it just pop or the season.
@@TubeAshli Must be the season. My sister said the same thing about All Star Music. Was quiet in off season. I would love AOA again because of the skyliner. Will do it in the fall winter /months only.👍
Great seeing more of your content! I’m so glad I’ve found your channel
I’m so so glad that you’re here, Carrie! ❤❤❤
It’s really hard to pick a favorite. It depends on who you going with what’s the Vibe .. me by myself I’m happy at the grand with my nieces and nephews beach club for the beach pool
Hey, Deni, was there enough bedding? It looked like it was just sheets. I know you mentioned no comforter. Is there anything for warmth? Sometimes air conditioning can get too cold for me and I like something to cuddle under. I have stayed at that resort before but I think I remember a quilt or something. I am disappointed to see that there really isn't much theming in the room, at least not like it used to be. There was always a Disney border around the room and the quilt/comforter was Disney themed. The room, IMO, seemed too sparse and generic (except for the little bit above the beds.)
When the value resort prices went up, we started renting a VRBO house very close to the parks. It was huge, very nice, and had a private pool and hot tub. My family loved it. Since we bring our car, it was no problem. I have stayed at all of the All Stars, but since we have rented the house the last two trips, my family won't go back to a Disney resort. I may have to do a solo trip just to experience a Disney resort again. I miss it.Pop was my favorite value.
Jeanette, I've entertained this idea. I hear a lot of Disney veterans saying it's not worth it and to stay off property. I've been 2x but my children have not. I am taking them in 2024 and can't make up my mind as to which way to go so much has changed. I've seen those VRBO rentals and they look lovely out in Windsor Hills. How old are your kiddos?
Deni! Thanks so much for this video. Like you, and as a DVC member, I have never stayed at a value resort. I was very pleasantly surprised at the appearance of your room. It got rid of a lot of misconceptions I had. So happy to see carpets disappearing across the resorts as well as the sleeper sofas! Let’s get them ALL gone! How was the noise level at night? That’s one complaint I’ve heard consistently is that the walls are very thin and that you can hear everything that your neighbors are doing. I love the theming around the resort, I would have liked to have seen a little more in the room. Just a couple more pieces of Disney art on the walls would do the trick. Anyway, great video (literally no vloggers go to the All-Star properties) and a great service to many who may be on the fence thinking value resorts aren’t up to snuff. You’ve opened my eyes at least 😊 Thanks Deni!!!
Thanks so much for doing this -- I love Fantasia (I actually have a collection of stuff Fantasia inspired) -- I've stayed at Ft Wilderness Cabins, Polynesian Resort and Caribbean Beach before. Honestly this doesn't look any worse than Caribbean Beach was (not that it was bad, had a great vacation). The Skyliner is not an option for me (I turn into a gibbering idiot on gondolas and sky lifts - terrified of heights). It might actually be worthwhile to just rent a car and stay at All Stars, then drive to the hotels I want to eat at. Usually when we go we eat mainly quick service with a couple of nice meals per vacation. With the Disney Dining Plan coming back (yipee) this will work nicely since the nice places I want to eat at are all at the hotels and very expensive we can save money on the regular meals. I like the fact that they have fridges in even the value resort rooms.
Sounds like a great plan, Delvie! It’s so wild to get back into Disney Dining Plan mode after it’s been gone for so long. But I love it as an option! ❤
Hi Deni, please stay and review the other value resorts? I stayed at Pop 5 years ago at pool view preferred and liked it. A few things I didn't care for was the jutting bed platforms. I was covered in bruises by the time I left. We had a manual wheelchair and was able to cram it in the room. I'm not sure if an motorized chair could fit. The shower was slippery and didn't know mats could be provided. I loved the fridge and the TV. Thanks for the food court review too:). Ohh, the bus. It was standing room only on our first bus ride. I'm older and my brother had mobility issues and didn't have his chair yet. I don't know how we made that first trip without having an accident.
Hey Deni! I’ve never stayed at the All Stars! I’ve stayed at Pop and just wasn’t enthused, aside from the skyliner. My fave resort that I’ve stayed at is Wilderness Lodge.
Thanks for the great review Deni!
Thanks so much for this in depth review. I will now consider staying at this resort even though I never would have before. There was always that rumor about loud teams populating the resort, but it looks totally fine. Thanks again Deni! Stellar review 👍💖 Cotton Candy Randi. Can't wait for your next review. PS I've had the same roast and potatoes you did at Pop. I'm celiac and it can be gluten free. It's fantastic!
I think the loud teams stay at All Star Sports
I've always stayed here every time I'm at Disney! I know I could save up and try to achieve the goal of staying at every resort, but it just keeps reeling me back in knowing it's the cheapest on property! And let's be honest, the Toy Story area was Toy Story Land before Toy Story Land! LOL Also, Idk why, but Deni could be a great replacement for Annie Pott's Bo Peep voice wise!
Favorite resort was always the Polynesian - stayed there 9 times - until we discovered The Animal Kingdom Lodge!!!! Stayed there twice with another staycation booked in July!! Next week we are trying The Wilderness Lodge for the first time and have a staycation booked there in September!! Not a fan of The Yacht Club, The Contemporary or Gran Destino Tower or Coronado Springs altogether. Liked The Grand Floridian and would stay there again if the price was right!! Never stayed at a Value Resort or any other Moderate other than CS and GDT.
You’ve got a really great list going, Helene! I’m so excited that you get to try Wilderness Lodge! It’s a favorite of my hubby’s!❤
@@deni_sunderly Started visiting WDW in 1972 as a 20 year old college student!! Yes my list is long!! Very excited about our staycation at Wilderness Lodge!! Hubby and I like resorts that transport us to different places!!
My husband and I and our two grandchildren stayed here and we had no problems with the room size I love value resorts . why pay more when you are spending most of the day out at the parks.
That was really nice that you showed a value resort. Im sure a lot of people will enjoy seeing what they are like. Ive had company from out of state and we mostly needed a place at disney to sleep with adjoining rooms while visiting parks and AS movies was perfect. And yes I found the food in the food court to be very good and have even stopped in to eat when not staying there. We stayed in the Toy Story section 😊
Loved this review!! So thorough!
Thank you so much, Rachael! ❤❤❤
Hi Deni love the video Happy Mother Day
Thank you so much, Herman! ❤
The only downside I've experienced since joining DVC was saying goodbye to the value resorts.
They just have a charm all their own, don’t they Dee? But so do those incredible DVC resorts! ❤
Hi there! How was the cell service in the Fantasia building?
I never stayed at All Star movie I stayed at Pop century last year I'm thinking about going back either next year or the year after
Thanks for the tour ! Could you tell me if the room was a standard or a preferred room ? :)
So I’m staying at this hotel starting on November 8 for my son’s fifth birthday. If I were to want to go to Disney Springs, how would I get there from the hotel.
Do you get extra park hours? and early entry to the parks?
After Disney went WOKE they can now go BROKE !!!
