We've stayed at the All-Star Movies twice now and we really like this resort. Both of our stays have been the week after Thanksgiving, so it was not crowded at all.
In Nov/Dec 2000, although I had requested Toy Story (my little girl loves Jessie), we got Love Bug. We had checked in around 10:00 AM, and the room was not ready, so we headed off to Epcot and didn't get back til late (after the Candlelight Processional and fireworks). Anyway, we loved the Love Bug section - it was VERY quiet, and a short walk to the bus stop/food court.
In Nov/Dec 2001, my little one really wanted to stay with Oddball in 102 Dalmations, and even though she had fallen asleep on the way from the airport, when she heard the CM say we were in Dalmations, she was so happy!!! She danced all the way to the room (and this was about 1:00 AM!!) Again, we were very pleased with our room - very quiet and still a short walk to the bus stop/food court.
It is my understanding that only Fantasia is the "preferred" bldg for the Movies; and in my opinion, it is not worth paying extra for. The resort is not that big, so getting around is easy. We are a family of 5, so we are usually at the deluxes (although we've stayed at some of the moderates when my youngest was 3 and under). We really love the Disney touches at this hotel! Enjoy your stay!!!!!
