Just back, ASM-Toy Story

[beccawes7471]

We just got back 3/17/12 from a 7 night stay at ASM-Toy Story section (as requested). I did online check in and our rooms (2 of them, connecting) were ready when we checked in at 12:05pm. Check in was a breeze, we had a great location, rms 940-941, very quiet but close to pool, food court and most important, Andy's Room. We had great mousekeeping all week, and were very pleased with our stay. I am working on a dining review so doubt I will get to a trip report but I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have. This was our second stay at ASM, last time was 2004.

How were the beds? And did you book a preferred room? Thanks for posting.

I really hope that we end up in Toy Story next month, but our flight doesn't land until 5:00 pm, so I'm hoping that we get our room request!! Could you tell me if you had a fridge in your room? I know they're being installed, but I'm worried that if we leave our collapsible cooler at home, that we'll end up with a room that doesn't have one yet

I thought the beds were comfy, slept great each night and I think we did book a preferred room. We did have a fridge in our room much to our surprise and delight.

Sounds like ASMO has shaped up. Great news.

How was the food court? Good variety? Good food? Clean?

You were there during a kind of busy time in the parks. Did the resort feel very crowded?

Were the busses shared with the other All Stars when you were there, or did you have dedicated ASMo busses?

Thanks for answering questions! We're going to ASMo in May for 4 nights, and haven't stayed at a value before. I love hearing positive reviews!

Is there a building that is closest to the main building and busses? I'm staying there for the first time in June and I booked a preferred room. Is the fantasia buildings farther away from the main building and busses? I wanted to stay near the pool, but it looks further away. Also at the parks, is the busstops for asm the furthest away?

The food court was clean (the whole resort was very clean we thought), good variety and the food is good (it's not a five star by any means but we didnt expect it was) we also ventured over to Pop Century food court and it was very tasty as well. I would also say the cast members at the food court were beyond helpful in that we were on the dining plan and several times a cast member would tell us things that were good uses of snack credits or poor uses of snack credits that were very helpful.

You were there during a kind of busy time in the parks. Did the resort feel very crowded?
It did not feel too crowded at the resort, the parks were a different storyWhen were first arrived there was some sort of cheerleading and/or dance competition and the food court was pretty full but lines were never long. Also that must have ended the weekend we got there b/c we didnt really see them after that. There was always plenty of room at the pool, etc

Were the busses shared with the other All Stars when you were there, or did you have dedicated ASMo busses?
That I am not sure of as we always rent a car, sorry.

I can help wi this question. We stayed in fantasia in October. We overlooked the pool and it was a quick walk to the main building. Just request fantasia wit a pool view. Fantasia buildinga are preferred rooms.

As for the bus locations at the parks, all of the values are far away except at one park and I can't remember which where pop is close. If this is important to you, book deluxe.
