Disney's ALL-STAR SPORTS RESORT Information & Questions

does anyone know if they sell the large (2 litre) bottles of soda in either the food court or the gift shop? also, maybe the menus on allearsnets are wrong, but no chance of fish and chips at the food court? or even at the music food court> (movies would be too far of a walk for us)

 

[smidgy]

on one map there is a DSA near the food court close to surf's up bldg. 1 but on another map I saw the DSA near the food court to be onthe other side. closer to surf's up bldg. 6 (closer to touchdown) does anyone know which is correct/ THANKS!

It is right outside the "back entrance"(entrance closest to Touchdown!) to End Zone Food Court .

You literally walk out this door and you are at the DSA.

Where is a quick rotfl emoticon when you need one? I am a July birthday too, and was thinking about planning a 2018 birthday trip. Sounds like I should plan for another time, or place.

Life with The 15s has actually improved A LOT the last few years.

There are now the Super Greeters who "try" to keep the Chanting under control(interesting note-some of them are The 15s "alumni"!lol) and The 15s use Private buses a lot these days.

Another thing I have noticed is the "Chant Dancing" is WAY down-i only saw it once this July trip.

In the "old days",there was "unlimited" Chanting-it was EVERYWHERE,The 15s almost exclusively used Disney buses and "Chant Dancing" was commonplace.

I kind of felt sorry for them this July-it seemed like every time they got a good Chant going,the Super Greeters would shut them down.

However,I do "shudder" when I think about what might happen to the Walt Disney World Resort if Brazil or Argentina wins the World Cup next July!lol

thanks! that's where they show it on allearsnet. but on the first page of this thread, the link for the resort map shows it on the opposite side, nearer the laundry and bldg. 1. good to know which is correct. hopefully the mods on this thread wil fix the map link to the more current one.

What! Please tell me there is a way to avoid it. I checked the maps before deciding on this resort. I'm allergic to smoke and that's why I didn't pick Pop as last time I was there I had so many asthma attacks in just a few hours.

I went to allears.net and the DSA is actually in a better spot than I thought. Unless that's the only way into the food court I should be fine.

As WEDWDW said, the DSA is outside the BACK entrance to the food court. you can just use the main entrance.

 

[smidgy]

ok, this is from the disboards. resorts thread:http://www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/allstarsportsmap.htm

 

[smidgy]

the above link shows the DSA being closer to bldgn #1, and the laundry room.. rather than nearere bldg #6, near the back door of the food court and near the touchdown area.
both smokers AND non-smokers would like to have a definitive answer .. which is correct?

 

[smidgy]

and. please,,,, if the disboards are not correct, please correct the info.

squirrel, that is only if allearsnet is correct. the disboards shows it in a different spot. I'm thinking both of us (as well as numerous other people) would like to know which is correct., (and we all know better than to call disney and talk to a phone CM)

 

[Nohal]

We were there in December and the DSA was outside the back entrance to the food court closest to the touchdown building.

thanks! that coincides with what wedwdw said. and allearsnet. so the disboards map is incorrect (and should be updated)

 

[macraven]

i was at sports end of january this year.


smoking section is right where nohal said.


benches that are near the back entrance door to the food court was the smoking section.


it rained one day and i used the door at the end of the room where dining section was to leave the building.

wanted to short cut and get less rained on when i left the building

found the smoking section there.

 

[smidgy]

thanks mac! I have just posted on the smoking thread, asking them to update the info.

 

[WEDWDW]

both smokers AND non-smokers would like to have a definitive answer .. which is correct?

I stand by my earlier Post.

The more I think about it,I do "think" that at one time there WAS a DSA between Stadium Hall and the Surf's Up! Laundry Room(Music has a DSA in a similar area)so I'm "thinking' the Disboards map was correct at one time and is just an old map-that is my guess.

I am thinking you are correct.! and it's important for the disboards to correct their old maps. thanks so much for your help!

 

[Mbuksa]

I am here at the resort now and the DSA is at the back entrance to the end zone food court

Pools
The two pools at Disney's All Star Sports Resort are surfing and baseball themed. The main pool, Surfboard Bay pool, is located behind the Stadium Hall (the resort's central area). Giant shark fins, surfboards and waves circle the pool area. Lifeguards are on duty from 10am-10pm. Pool hours are from 8am to 12am. Pools are considered 'quiet areas' from 10pm to midnight. There is also a children's wading pool here. The Grand Slam pool is the quiet pool and is located in front of the Home Run hotel. It is shaped like a baseball diamond with an "outfield" sundeck and a water-sprinkling Goofy pitching from the center of the pool.

Dining
While there is no sit down restaurant here, there is the End Zone Food Court that seats 550 people. Decorated with football and surfing scenes, giant sports figures are found atop the red, green and blue dining booths. Pizza, pasta, barbecue ribs, fruit, sandwiches, hamburgers, rotisserie chicken, baked goods, kids' favorites such as macaroni and cheese and chicken fingers, and "Blue Plate" specials are the featured fare here. Hours are usually 6 a.m. to midnight. Room service is limited to pizza, salads, soft drinks, and beer and this may be ordered from 5 p.m. to midnight. Also, you can purchase a refillable mug at the End Zone food court.

Here is a link with the menu and prices for the foodcourt at All Star Sports.
