All Star Sports Renovation done?

[parkbr]

Hi,

We are going to ASSp in 2 weeks and I wonder if all the rooms are renovated - I assume they are?
When I went in 2022, they were under construction.

What about food court?

We were hoping to split our stays with POP, but we were not able to get two rooms at POP when we booked a few months ago (10 nights total). I think we were thinking about it too long, as it will cost us about $600 more for 2 rooms for 5 nights and we were debating.
We love Skyliner, so it is a bummer, but with $600 discount, perhaps we can take Uber/Lyft?

Yes, all the rooms are done. I don't think there is a food court renovation going on at Sports right now. I used to pretty exclusively stay at POP for the skyliner, but it is getting harder and harder to book, and more expensive. I stayed at Sports in July and was very happy with it. In fact, I have 2 more trips booked there, one of which starts this Saturday and another in January.

The Merchandise Shop has been under refurbishment but has remained open.

The Arcade has been closed for refurb.

Not sure if either or both refurbs are completed.

Thank you so much!
I am glad all rooms are renovated!

Yes, we got really good price ($140/night) and POP will be about $60 dollars more but we have 2 rooms. I know it may not be a lot, but that is like 50% higher than the current price, so we thought maybe we will do UBER to resort to resort (for dinner reservations).

Have fun this week and in January! I envy you!!

Thank you! I will see in 2 weeks.

TBH, we are happy to skip the arcade.

Yes, you could definitely Uber to other resorts for dinner with that savings. The limited dining options are really the main drawback to the All Star resorts, so I sometimes bus to Hollywood Studios and then boat or Skyliner to the Boardwalk area. Tons of options there!

And sometimes we will take the short walk from Sports to the McDonalds for a break from the Food Court.

I am super excited now!!!
We usually dine at Deluxe and never stay there, so we always travel for dinner.

Pop is great because of sky liners, but it is a same beast when it comes to MK area resorts restaurant or DS restaurants. (Which we have 3 nights)

We are actually going to blizzard beach twice, so I think the location (ASSp) is not bad at all!

You don't know how much of excitement you brought to my husband. He literally said we are staying at All Star ALL THE TIME from now on...
(I dont eat at McDolands. He loves it. So he only gets to go to McDonald's rarely as I cook most of the times. Like... on father's day...lol!)

Very convenient-the All-Stars and CSR are the only 2 WDW Resorts with direct buses to Blizzard Beach.

The other Resorts have to transfer at Animal Kingdom.

Cool-it is a vey easy walk along the sidewalk,5-10 minutes.

Much easier than the walk from Music and Movies.

Is it?

Last time, Blizzard Beach was closed, so they had no transportation to the mini-golf. We had to take Uber. So I wasn't sure if they would have the bus or not when Blizzard Beach opens in 2 weeks.

If they have a direct transportation to the waterpark, we'd LOVE IT so much!!!

Because of their proximity to BB,the All-Stars and CBR enjoy direct buses.

With Disney anything can change but I see no reason the direct buses won't be back when BB reopens.
