the Disney All Star Hotels.... Walt Disney World Review

Simply put, the Disney All Star Hotels are not a great value for your money. These are supposed to be the budget alternative to the Disney resort hotels and the three hotels each have a theme. But budget in Disney-speak means something different than budget hotel does to the average traveler.

I stayed at one of the All-Star hotels (I believe it was the music one) in 2001. We paid $80 or $90 for the privilege of staying on Disney grounds. The hotel had an overpriced cateteria which served horrible food, bus service was slow and sporadic and the rooms were tiny.

There are plenty of budget hotels within a couple of miles of Disneyville which have clean and comfortable rooms, restaurants and even shuttle service for less money. Since there are so many hotels., deals are plentiful either on the web or by contacting the hotels directly. Disney doesn't have special offers too often, so you are almost always guaranteed to pay more here.

Fun Alternatives: I'd recommend checking the prices at hotels on International Drive or even in Kissimmee before paying the rates here.
