I have stayed at this hotel 3 times over 5 years and will most definately use this hotel on any future visits. Its great value for money and gives you the feel that you are part of the magic. The hotel is decorated with huge Disney film characters from 101 Dalmations and Toy Story. There is a huge Mighty Ducks themed Duck pool as well as a Fantasia pool.
ROOMS The rooms are basic but very clean and of a modest size. (more than enough room to store all of your florida mall shopping) Very effective air conditioning. Hair dryer. TV. Internet access is available but at a charge (I have neverhad time to use this). Irons and Ironing boards. With in the complex there are also washing machines and tumble dryers (a couple of dollars to use)
EATING AT THE ALL STARS The food court is fairly priced (not as cheap as ou would find at restaurants on International drive) but it does offer a very good selection from American food to Italian food. The breakfasts are a must with a huge selection, you can be healthy and opt for fresh fruit and yoghurt or go the whole hog with pancakes and syrup. The hotel also offers a Pizza delivery service to your room. A pool side bar serving drinks and snacks.
GETTING AROUND This hotel offers a free shuttle service running from hotel to all DISNEY theme parks. The are running regularly and are air conditioned. They do get very busy first thing in morning and later in afternoon. However as they are frequent you are never waiting that long.
All in all this is a really good choice of hotel. It gives good value for money, especially for those that do not want to drive whilst on holiday due to the transportation available between the hotel and DISNEY theme parks. To get to International drive taxis are available outside hotel. I personally would not reccommend it for couples but for an easy to run family holiday it is brilliant.
