Mickey, Minions & more. 2 week holiday. Updated 9/14 - FINAL THOUGHTS

[MeMom]

Your Downtown Disney pictures are wonderful. I am looking forward to walking around in DTD again and getting some construction/changes pictures this summer.

I have stayed at all of the All-Star Resorts - I think twice at Sports, twice at Music (maybe three times there), and once at Movies. Taking the girls over to walk around those is on my list for July. Brooklynn was little when we stayed at Movies, and I believe Bella was 'in production' at that time. She would enjoy seeing the big Toy Story icons. I also want to check out the new food court at Sports.

Just wanted to say great trip report. Have been catching up whilst laid up at home after knee surgery. Christmas looks such as amazing time to be in the parks with all the decorations especially at night. Congrats on the amazing weight loss as well you are looking incredible.

All star sports is the first Disney resort I stayed at and took my husband to our first trip so I always love to see the resort

I'm loving your night shots. You really got some great ones!!!!!

Nice pics of the resort. Looks like a fun place to stay!

Thank you. I would like to try it but Vinny said no. maybe a solo trip I will.

Great update, Scott. I enjoyed touring the All Star Sports with you. We stayed there in 2000 for three days (I had us moved after that time because I couldn't stand the "noise"). Our boys did love the pool though. They did a nice job on the decorations.

Thank you.
it does look busy so I can only imagine how noisy it is.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing yours being I have no trip planned for Florida this year.
I am sure they will enjoy seeing the icons there.

Thank you.

Sweet! POR was my DBIL's first too and he still adores it , his DH would take YC every time. He usually lets his DH picks since he's just happy to get a WDW trip over Vegas

 

[franandaj]

I love seeing your pictures of these resorts. I have zero desire to stay at them, they just don't appeal to me. I guess I'm spoiled by the deluxes!

I would not mind Vegas.

I want to try every resort but I cannot get past the amount for deluxes. I sleep and shower there and really nothing else. I will use DVC points for them

After seeing All Star Sports we moved onto All Star Music.


This is another new resort for us to see. The sign all close up.


We passed their store. We did not go in.


Here is their tree.


This looks like the last update. LOL.

Looking around as we walked outside.


I liked the Christmas wreath.


What a beautiful day it was.


A look at the map.


Looking at the pool.


This place sounds perfect. I love singing and I love spirits. LOL.


Then it looks like we were at Movies.




I assume this is from The Mighty Ducks.


I thought this was cute.


I have never been a fan of Fantasia. I like the music but the movie not so much.


How cute.




I love the pathways.


Another pool.


I did find the Sorcerer Mickey cute.


The directory.


Sorry this wasn’t at the beginning of the Movies section, we walked over from Music and left the car in that section.


Looking at some of the décor.


And then we saw some decorations.


Looking at their lobby.


Con't...

 

[scottny]

Here is their tree.


I guess all the value resorts have these.


Then we started to walk back to the car. I had to be on tv first.


This building is cute. I guess I love Dalmatians.


Here is the pool there.




Restrooms.


Goofy is the goalie.


And then that tour was finished. I am glad I finally got to see these values. I would like to stay once in each just because I want to stay at every resort on property.

Coming up next,

Coronado Springs decorations

I have stayed at all of he All Stars and Music is my favorite. We had a preferred room in Calypso right by the pool. It was great. We liked the food court for breakfast and never shared buses.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Nice to see the All Stars since that's one (or three) I've never been to. You can definitely see a pattern amongst all the Value Resorts. I guess if it ain't broken...

I have to admit, the Christmas trees at the All Stars are a little less impressive than the others. Still nice though.

That good to know. Thanks.

There definitely is a pattern.
Yeah they were but they were the "value" trees.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Interesting pictures of all the various resorts. I never seem to set aside any time to go resort visiting at all; so thanks for sharing.

 

[MeMom]

I am loving all these pictures, Scott! From one who is lucky to get to go to Walt Disney World at all due to living on a teacher's salary, the value resorts are near and dear to my heart. We've stayed at them all and have enjoyed them all. We've been able to manage several non-value stays on our own, and we've been the guests of super-duper nice friends at some a few times. We definitely love those and see how easy it is to get 'spoiled' to them, no doubt. They are beautiful. But, when I see pictures of the value resorts, I am every bit as excited and ready to go back and visit them again. Pop Century was our first on property stay, so it will always be special to us. Seeing the All Star resorts in your pictures brings back wonderful memories, as well.

Loved seeing all the all stars

Have not seen the all star music since our honeymoon 15 years ago. We stayed there for half the trip. Cute resort.

Love the movies. Those are my favs of all stars.

Cute pic in the tv

Scott -

Those pictures of the ALL Stars resorts are just gorgeous. Now I want to stay at all three of them!!!!!!

Beautiful!

 

[mickeystoontown]

What a fun walk through of the All Stars resorts! I enjoyed looking at the pictures which are, by the way, lots better than some that I've seen on some Disney related sites. John's family has stayed at All Stars Sports and they love it there.

Loving your tour of the resorts, seeing all the different Christmas decorations is lovely
