We returned yesterday from a 4 night stay at Sports. Both baseball buildings were blocked off and there was construction happening, although I read someone was given a refurbished room there. Building 6 was also closed for refurbishment with a lot of work happening there.
Both football buildings are newly refurbished and operational. Nothing happening at buildings 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5. We stayed in building 4 (tennis) third floor in the back and it was extremely quiet.
Our room was the old style but very clean with a coffee maker and wood floor. The fridge kept things very cold. We did not have any housekeeping for our entire stay, not even for towels or trash. We also did not get a room check while we were in the room. We had breakfast at Music one morning and the place was packed with people versus Sports. With 3 buildings closed and most rooms old style I guess people are choosing the other two All Stars which made the resort extremely quiet.
The resort was very clean and the CM's (mostly) were friendly always saying hello, good morning etc. I had one issue at the food court where I bought a kid's meal and the cashier actually reached over and took away the apple slices from my tray saying they were not included. I showed her the board where it clearly stated that they were (even had a photo of the meal I bought saying 2 sides were included) but she claimed that the sides were for breakfast only and her manager would not allow it??? I didn't feel like escalating it so I gave in but it left a bad taste. That and being charged $2.50 for a small banana which costs 20 cents at the store! (DH needed it for his blood sugar and coming from Canada I could not bring any fruit with us). I had read about price gouging and yes, it is alive and thriving. In general, a family of four needs to have deep pockets for a week vacation at Disney even with eating only quick service unless they bring some of their own food.
We did not use the busses in the morning but anytime after noon up until late night we always shared busses with Music and Movies.
Disney Springs at around 9:00 p.m was especially bad with huge amounts of people waiting and one bus showed up to share among the 3 All Stars.
