First of all, I tried to quote and screwed something up. Someone wanted to know if the food court had a toaster, and yes it does.
We have stayed at Sports twice (me, DH and 2 DS's now 10 and 14). We just returned from a 5 night stay the last week of August. We have enjoyed ourselves both times. In my opinion, for the $$, All Stars cannot be beat. Bus service is good (although crowded). We've never seemed to wait long for a bus to or from the parks/DTD. The food court can be very crowded. The amount of choices didn't seem to be as good this time as from what I remember in 2001. But it's good for a quick lunch or breakfast. We've never had problems with alot of kids/teens running around, being loud as I have read in other reviews. I think it depends on when you are there. On this most recent trip, we were in Hoops, 3rd floor towards the back and it was very quiet. Our room has always been clean and comfortable for the 4 of us. On this last trip, we had a wonderful mousekeeper who did towel animals and had stuffed animals (including our Pal Mickey) peeking out the windows. The pool bar is great. Finally, unless you have very little ones or really don't like to walk, IMHO I would not pay for a preferred room. As I said above, we were in Hoops, in the back, 3rd fl, and it didn't seem like a long walk to Stadium Hall (food court, buses). I would recommend Sports, as long as you realize it's a value resort and know what to expect.
