We are planning a trip for November 11-16 and are thinking about staying at the All-Star movies resort. We have been many times but this is the 1st time that we will be staying at a value resort. Which building would you recommend staying at to be close to a bus stop and close to the food court but not an area that is extremly busy. Does that exist?? Also, does anyone know if the Osborne ligh show will be going on during that time?
Try it! We liked it. We stayed @ Movies last Nov from 17-25. (Fam of 4, DS6,DD2)
It was nice. No frills obviously, but it was a pleasant stay.
We were in the Buzz Lightyear section facing the parking lot. It was quiet.
If you go around the side of the building instead of going through the main building- the busses are right there!
Also it was not far from anything. Fantasia pool was right there, laundry, playground- right there, food court/main building was a short walk too.
As with everything in Disney, the earlier you get to the food court for breakfast the better! lol
One word about busses tho- the three all stars share busses so it can be a pain if the bus is packed bc Movies is the last stop so not always a seat.
We only had an issue once or twice during Thanksgiving week. So hopefully the week you're going should be fine. My friend went that week and was happy with the crowd level in the parks. (wasnt at Movies tho)
Overall we really liked the hotel. We are there for the parks so the no-frills nature of the hotel didn't bother us one bit. The themeing was well-done and fun, it was clean, had a little fridge, free wifi- that's all we need. lol We would stay there or any other value again; but I think we want to try Pop next time, just for something different.
Oh- and Osborn lights starts Nov 8 or 9 this year, so yes they will be up before you get there.
Enjoy!
