Planning a Disney vacation and trying to pick the right place to stay? You're not alone! One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to vacation planning Disney trips is: "Which All-Star Resort should I choose?" Today, we're going to dive into the three Disney All-Star Resorts — All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, and All-Star Sports — and help you decide which one is right for your family!

First, Let's Talk About Disney Resort Pricing Tiers

When you're vacation planning Disney trips, it's important to know that Disney hotels fall into three main categories:

Value Resorts: Most affordable, great for families on a budget.
Moderate Resorts: A little more expensive, with more amenities.
Deluxe Resorts: Top-tier luxury, amazing locations, and lots of extra perks.

The All-Star Resorts are Value Resorts. They're perfect if you want that Disney magic without spending a fortune on your hotel. You still get all the benefits of staying on Disney property — like Early Theme Park Entry and free transportation — but at a price that leaves more room in your budget for Mickey-shaped snacks!

All-Star Movies Resort

Theme: All things Disney movies! Think larger-than-life statues of characters from Toy Story, 101 Dalmatians, and The Mighty Ducks.

Vibe: Super colorful, playful, and full of Disney magic. It's especially great for younger kids who love seeing their favorite characters everywhere they turn.

Pool: The "Fantasia" pool has Sorcerer Mickey front and center. It's one of the most fun Value Resort pools!

Why Choose It: If your family loves Disney movies and wants that full "wow" factor, this is the spot.

All-Star Music Resort

Theme: Different music genres like jazz, country, rock, and Broadway.

Vibe: A little more laid-back and chill compared to Movies. Still very fun, but not as "in your face" with Disney characters.

Pool: The "Guitar" pool shaped like — you guessed it — a giant guitar! There's also a piano-shaped pool in another section.

Why Choose It: Music fans will love the fun nods to all kinds of tunes. Plus, All-Star Music has Family Suites — larger rooms that can fit up to 6 people! Perfect for bigger families trying to keep costs down.

All-Star Sports Resort

Theme: Sports like football, baseball, basketball, and tennis.

Vibe: Very energetic! Big sports equipment decor, lots of team spirit. It's a favorite for youth sports groups and school trips.

Pool: The "Surfboard Bay" pool is beachy and bright, and the "Grand Slam" pool is baseball-themed.

Why Choose It: If your family loves sports or if you’re traveling with a young athlete, this is a slam dunk. (Pun totally intended!)

So Which One Should You Choose?

Pick Movies if you want classic Disney magic and iconic characters.
Pick Music if you want a slightly calmer vibe or need a bigger room.
Pick Sports if you're traveling with an energetic crew who loves the game!

All three resorts are very similar when it comes to room size, food court options, and transportation. The differences are really in the theme and atmosphere.
