Changing hotels to All Stars Movie ?

[kas004]

We were going to stay at Hilton resort at Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee for 3 nights, but now thinking as we are doing Mickey's Christmas and probably 1 day at either Epcot or AK, it might be better to stay at a WDW resort.
Would we get magic bands and extra hours ?

Looking at All Star Movie resort - would this be ok for 2 Adults & 2 kids (14 & 11) ?
How do we get from the Resort to the Parks ?
If we drive will it still cost us to park in the theme parks ?
And I saw someone mention if you don't use housekeeping you get a credit ?
Help.

If staying at a WDW resort, yes to both.

Definitely.

H do we get from the Resort to the Parks ?

WDW buses.

If we drive will it still cost us to park in the theme parks ?

If staying at a WDW resort, no. Theme Parl parking is free to WDW resort guests.

And I saw someone mention if you don't use housekeeping you get a credit ?

Yup. If you opt out of housekeeping for your trip you'll get $10 per night minus one night on a gift card. So for a 3 night stay you'll get $20. You'll have to opt out at the Front Desk on check in day

True, but you will pay to park at your resort, currently $13 per night for All Stars.
