Disney's ALL-STAR SPORTS RESORT Information & Questions

[Dug720]

Should I even send a fax through TP then? Or should I just wait until the 60 day check in and only click “connecting rooms”?

It’s noted on our reservations that we are requesting connecting rooms.

You can do both. As long as the TP fax doesn’t contradict what you have put. You could even clear out the prepopulated line and just put “Connecting Rooms”.

If you used touring plans to request a room for Sports, what did you put down for a request? We didn't pay for preferred, so we can't request Surf's Up. What else is preferred there?

Surfs Up and Touch Down/football buildings area preferred

We requested the baseball section next to the football section. Yes, take my disney card, I don't know the correct name, LOL

The room I requested has a view of the baseball diamond pool.

PRmamiDEdos that is a great view.

One of the best themed areas in all of WDW![/QUOTE]

We just returned from our week at ASSp. This was our first stay in a Value. We are almost always at Fort Wilderness in our camper, but the AP discounts this time of year were too good to pass up.

Overall, we had a great week. Impressions of ASSp were all positive except for the Full size beds. We were obviously there during a slower period. Hardly saw anyone on our floor all week. We booked a preferred room and requested Surf Board on an upper floor. We got 6312. Next to last room on the back side of building 6 (surf board). Almost the furthest preferred room away from the food court and bus stop, but plenty quiet. The place was typical Disney clean and kept up. We opted out of Mousekeeping and got the $70 eCard. That came in handy paying for half of my meal at the Yachtsman (incredible filet, btw). I know the Values are getting upgrades over the next year. The queen beds will be greatly appreciated, but will probably take up even more of the room. Not sure how many square feet the rooms are, but I think my 5th wheel has more (412) and it has a kitchen.

I loved the "larger than life" themeing. I know some think its tacky, dated or just too silly, but it felt like "Disney" to me. The food court was incredible. Typical Disney prices, but huge portions. Too much most meals. We spent most of our days in the parks or out touring WDW (Boardwalk, other resorts, DS). The Grandstand pool bar was nice after a day out. We never got in the pools. They closed at 8pm each night and we generally didn't get back to the resort until 9 or 10.

Buses were pretty good. We never shared once with the other Values and never waited more than 10-15 minutes. The bus drivers took some odd routes to get to and from the parks some days, but that isn't an issue with the resort.

I still prefer the quiet, relaxed, friendly atmosphere of the Fort, but if there is another huge AP discount, I wouldn't mind another stay at ASSp. Flying in instead of towing 1000 miles one way let's me add 2 extra days to a trip and 2 extra days at WDW is always a bonus.

If you don't mind me asking? What did you pay with your AP discount. I'm thinking of getting an AP and I'm just curious what kind of room discounts would be available

 

[MickMan]

Hopefully someone can answer your questions Mbuksa.....

I have the AP fun and sun deal for 5/21-5/25 at $108 per night in a standard room.

 

[Haley R]

Any hope for a discount for Halloween time?

Thank you. I was just curious how good the AP discounts were

Are there locker rooms by the pool? If so, do they have shampoo/conditioner. We have a late flight on our last day and would like to hang out at the pool. Then get changed and go to DS for an early dinner. Also, does the resort supply towels at the pool?

 

[rteetz]

Check into Sports on Monday!

 

[j2thomason]

I check-in Friday!! My spring break can't get here soon enough!! I wasn't supposed to check-in until Saturday, but I decided to take an extra day off of work and drive down a day early so I can get my AP activated at Disney Springs before I hit MK the next day!

There are lockers and showers in the "Laundry Buildings" by both Surf's Up! and Grand Slam Pools.

I've never checked to see if there was any shampoo available in the Showers.

Both Pools do have Pool Towels.

We check in Monday too! Bit nervous about staying here with no coffee in rooms...

 

[MickMan]

Monykalyn at least it's a short walk to the food court to get some coffee.....

I recently switched from Pop to All Star Sports for our upcoming trip in May. I tried to change the dates of our Pop stay and they did not have availability so the CM suggested Sports. I booked a preferred room (requested Surf section).
I’m a little nervous because I’ve been reading some negative reviews on TripAdvisor
I figured I’d come to this thread to ease my mind
I don’t think there will be any teams there during our dates May 23-27, since that seems to be the biggest complaint from people regarding Sports.

 

[MickMan]

Here is a calendar for ESPN Wide World of Sports: https://www.espnwwos.com/events/#view=calendar
Do not know if any teams will be staying at All Star Sports.
