Inspired by the magic of Disney Movies, Disney’s All-Star Movies resort is one of the ultra-popular value resorts at Walt Disney World. Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort resort features giant icons from many favorite Disney movies. These icons set the scene for lots of fun and also provide perfect photo opportunities!
Colossal images from “101 Dalmatians,” “Toy Story,” “Fantasia,” “The Mighty Ducks,” and “The Love Bug” decorate the resort hotel.
Are there any colossal images from a specific movie you are looking forward to seeing? I always enjoy seeing my friend Buzz from Toy Story.

PRO TIPS
- Want to try a different menu but don’t want to travel too far? Visit All-Star Music Intermission Food Court or All-Star Sports End Zone Food Court.
- Depending on where your room is located, you may be closer to the food court, bus stops, or pool located at another All-Star Resort.
- When visiting the pool, you need to bring your in-room towels as there are none at the pools in the Value resorts. Contact Housekeeping early in your trip for extras, so you’re not waiting for dry towels when you’re tired.
