Preferred Room at ASMo

[CarolRN]

Can anyone tell me if any of the preferred rooms at ASMo have doors facing the main pool? I thought I saw a picture somewhere that showed doors in the background but I'm not sure.

Yes they do, on both sides of the pool.

Some (not all) of the rooms in the Fantasia building face the pool.

Here is the map of All Movies.

The Fantasia Buildings are the preferred buildings.They cost about $12 more a day.
The All Star Movie Fantasia pool has Mickey.
It is a great place to stay .
Preschoolers love it.
It is like being in the middle of a Disney Movie Fantasyland..

The All Star resorts are all within walking distance of each other and you are welcome to use any of the pools at any of the ALL Stars.
The buses are wonderful.

Bus rides are quite short from the ALL Stars according to PassPorter.com

All Star Buses-CBR buses---pop buses--PO buses--- Contemporary
MK 20 min---- 20 min-----25 min------10 min---20 min(mono)
Epcot 10 min-- 15 min-----20 min------10 min---15 min
MGM 10 min----12 min-----15 min------15 min---20min
AK 10 min------20min-------15 min----15 min---20 min
DTD 15 min----20 min------20 min-----15 min---35 min

It only takes 10 minutes to get to Epcot,MGM and AK from All Stars.
MK is 20 min away. That's the same amount of time it takes on the monorail from the Contemporary.

I am 55 years old and travel several times a year. I often stay at 4 star hotels.
So the deluxe resorts do not have anything special for me.
All Star is like being in the heart of the Magic and that is where I want to be.

I have visited WDW more than a dozen times with the 1st time in Oct. 1971. It was brand new. I've stayed at FW, Disney Inn, a few the of Hotels on hotel Blvd., CBR and the towers at the Contemporary. I got to see the MK from my balcony at the Contemporary and I'm happy I got to experience it once. I just prefer the All Star Resorts.
The theaming is pure Disney.
My last 4 visits have been at The All Stars and this fall when we take dd,dsil, and our grandson age 3 we are staying at the All Stars Music. I thought about AKL and even though we can well afford AKL I just wanted Alex to experience the Disney Magic at the All Stars on his first visit.
Where else can one find Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse at the pool?
Have a great time at Disney!

I am booked for a preferred room. When I called a couple months ago to change some info on our ressie she "lost" our old one and she said only preferred was available. We really want Toy Story for our kids. Is there any chance of us still getting this? I would still even pay the $12 to have this room. It is noted on our Ressies that we would like Toy Story.

I originally had ressie's and requested Toy Story. When they introduced the free dining I called back and was told they only had Preferred rooms available in ASMo on the free dining plan, so I switched. My reservation does still say Toy Story on the bottom. When I asked about Toy Story when my ressie was changed to preferred I was just told that Toy Story was not a preferred bldg but they did not take it off my request.
