Disney's All-Star Sports Resort

Filmed on site — video published July 16, 2026 · watch it

The short answer

All-Star Sports is the cheapest way to stay on Disney property, from about $149 a night in 2026. Rooms are 260 square feet for four people, transport is buses only, and the theming is enormous sports equipment. It buys you the on-site benefits and very little else, which for many trips is exactly the right trade.

How long it really takes to get to each park

We haven’t timed this resort yet. A door-to-gate time goes here once we have walked the route with a stopwatch at least five times — a single reading hides the variation that actually makes people miss a breakfast reservation. How we measure.

Who it’s right for

Families who will be out of the room from morning until night and want the on-site benefits at the lowest possible price. Also anyone travelling with sports-mad children — the theming is unsubtle and eight-year-olds love it.

Who it’s wrong for

Anyone who plans to spend time at the resort. There is no table-service dining, no quiet corner, and the pools are busy and loud all day. It is also wrong for a party of five: the rooms sleep four, full stop, and All-Star Music's family suites are the cheaper answer to that problem than two rooms here. And if you are working during the trip, book somewhere else.

Is it worth the money?

Yes, if the room is somewhere to sleep. You get Early Theme Park Entry, Disney transport, and the ability to walk away from the parks mid-afternoon — the same headline benefits as a $700 deluxe room. What you do not get is a short bus ride, a quiet room, or anywhere pleasant to sit that is not a pool. The value case is strong and it is entirely about what you are not paying for.

Where to eat here

Every restaurant here with its own page on this site, with the typical spend a head from that page.

What the rooms are actually like

Two double beds or one king, a small table, a mini-fridge and a coffee maker. The bathroom has a single sink behind a door and a separate vanity area. Four adults fit; four adults with luggage do not fit comfortably.

Standard rooms are about 260 square feet.

Sleeps up to 4, not counting infants — the table below says which room that takes.

Every room type, and who fits in it

Straight from Disney’s own booking data, checked 2026-09-19. Occupancy excludes infants — Disney counts a baby in a cot separately, which is why a room that “sleeps 5” here can appear as 6 on their site.

Which room should you request?

The All-Stars are three storeys with exterior walkways, so your door opens onto a balcony everyone walks along. Rooms facing a courtyard pool hear it from early morning until close; rooms in the buildings furthest from the food court are quieter and cost a long walk instead. Ask for a top floor — nobody walks above you.

What are the pools like?

  • Surfboard Bay Pool
  • Grand Slam Pool — quiet pool

Disney’s own recreation page accounts for 2 pools. Named by Disney: Surfboard Bay Pool, Grand Slam Pool. Disney’s pool page, read 2026-09-19.

What has changed recently?

Rooms were refurbished across the All-Stars in the late 2010s to the current hard-surface-floor, queen-bed layout. No major work announced since.

Working from here

poor

A small table, a chair not designed for sitting at, and wifi that struggles when the resort is full. Fine for email in the evening; bad for a working day. If you need to work, the food court seating at 9am is better than the room, and a moderate resort is better than both.

Common questions

How much is All-Star Sports per night?
From about $149 in the cheapest 2026 season to $305 over Christmas, rack rate including Osceola County's 13.5% tax. Discounts of 20–30% appear regularly for Florida residents and annual passholders, so the rack rate is rarely what people actually pay.
Does All-Star Sports have the Skyliner?
No. Buses are the only Disney transport from any of the three All-Star resorts. The Skyliner serves Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, Riviera and the Boardwalk area — if gondola access matters to you, those are the resorts to look at.
How many people can stay in a room at All-Star Sports?
Four, plus one child under three in a cot. There are no family suites at All-Star Sports — All-Star Music has those, sleeping six. A party of five has to book two rooms here, which usually costs more than a suite elsewhere.
Is All-Star Sports too noisy?
It is the loudest category of Disney resort, with exterior walkways and pools that stay busy until close. A top-floor room away from the main pool is meaningfully quieter, and worth asking for at online check-in.
