DISNEY ALL STAR SPORTS RESORT
Gigantic football helmets, megaphones, surfboards and
basketballs team up with value prices to score a winning
Walt Disney World vacation at Disney's All-Star Sports
Resort.
Guests are greeted by bright colors and the whimsy of
Coke cups big enough to hold a resort swimming pool,
baseball bats a 50-foot-tall man could use on his field of
dreams. . . and the lowest-priced Disney room rates
beginning at $82, based on season.
The 1,920-room family resort sports five themes: football,
baseball, basketball, tennis and surfing. Convenient
complimentary transportation to all Disney attractions is
offered.
Music, landscaping and lighting create sports scenes --
palm trees arranged to look like a basketball team at
tip-off, a courtyard that resembles a football field, a pool
in the shape of a baseball infield, and neon and fiber
optics highlighting the main icons.
Here's the lineup:
# Bold colors glisten on 38-foot-tall surfboards
complementing the deep aqua tones of Surf's Up. More
than 950 colorful fish appear to be swimming along a
"wavy" balcony. Two giant "shark fins" encircle a
free-form pool surrounded by swaying palms.
# Pennants of favorite college teams -- from Blue Devils
and Tigers to Boilermakers and Gators -- rim the Hoops
Hotel roof line. Basketballs five feet in diameter round out
the railings.
# Stadium lights, scoreboards and an outfield fence recall
a day at the ballpark at Home Run Hotel.
# Giant footballs teed for kickoff and larger-than-life
football helmets welcome fans to Touchdown!
# Center Court features stairwells in the shape of tennis
cans. Oversized tennis balls decorate the balconies.
Red, white and blue star-shaped seating, caged lighting
such as in a basketball gym, and miniature red lockers
delight sports fans at Stadium Hall, the resort's main
check-in area.
Sports scenes such as surfing and football decorate the
walls in the End Zone food court. Giant sports figures sit
atop brightly colored green, blue and red dining booths. A
selection of food is offered -- from pizza, pasta and
roasted chicken, to barbecue and salads. Also featured:
the All-Star "bottomless" mug, which can be used for
unlimited refills at the food court's beverage island during
the length of stay.
The name of the game is athletics in the guestrooms,
which feature sports-themed bedspreads, megaphone
light fixtures and artwork depicting sports scenes.
Standard guestrooms sleep four. Connecting rooms and
disabled-accessible rooms are available.
Other guest areas include Team Spirits pool bar, Sport
Goofy Gifts & Sundries, Game Point Arcade and
coin-operated washers and dryers.
