We had the opportunity to stay at the All-Star Movie resort on our honeymoon in 2000 and for our first trip together as a couple. We were on a budget and this fit that budget perfectly. This is probably my favorite value resort of those I have stayed at over the years.

First and foremost, the theming is WONDERFUL. The large icons from the Disney movies ranging from the hockey mask of the Mighty Ducks to the huge door entering "Andy's Room" in the Toy Story Section to the large Pongo and Perdita in the 101 Dalamations section, I felt immediately immersed in the Disney magic walking around the grounds of this resort. We spent probably the first two hours on property walking around taking pictures.

We were in the Mighty Ducks section facing the quiet pool. Although this was not our preferred location, we actually enjoyed it. We loved spending time in the quiet pool after a long day in the parks. Rooms were the standard hotel room size, and the beds were comfortable enough.

The food court at Cinema Hall was good with a large selection. We ate quite a few meals here and were happy with options available.

During our stay, we only had bus service issues a couple of times, all during the end of day rush to get back to the resorts. Bus service to the parks were without issue.

Pros: Affordability!!! Theming!!!

Cons: Bus service can be an issue as it shares with the other All Star Resorts.
