food IS a theme park
I’m about to suggest something so wild that it just might make perfect sense.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that not all Disney World hotels are equal — otherwise, they’d all cost the same. We have our favorites and ones we generally think people should avoid, but we’re throwing all that out the window. In fact, we’re suggesting Disney World first-timers stay at some of the WORST-rated Disney World hotels. Here’s why…
Your Mickey ears are packed, and your plane ticket is booked. Now, all you need to worry about is your hotel’s pool closure. Wait — our hotel pool is closed??

There are so many details that go into a Disney World trip. Let us help and give you a little preview as to what’s happening at your resort before your next trip.
Rope dropping can be a hassle…but it doesn’t have to be with this tip!
Hollywood Studios at rope drop
Rope dropping is the process of showing up to a theme park before it opens and then subsequently getting phased deeper and deeper into the park as it gradually becomes available to the public. Rope drop is popular among guests as it usually provides you with the shortest wait times of the day and a leg up on guests who show up later. With that said, it’s more like ripping off a Band-Aid rather than something you’ll love to do. Rope dropping at Disney World requires you to get up EARLY, and it could be even earlier than you think once you start factoring in transportation times. We’ve rope dropped from many different hotels over the years, and if you want to quickly get to rope drop and make the most out of your day, avoid these hotels and opt for their substitutions for a shorter commute.
Here at DFB, we’re true to our name and adore trying all the new snacks that hit Disney World.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Whether it’s in the parks, the hotels, and beyond, it’s our job to go all around Disney World and try all the new snacks, drinks, and dining options that are released. This time, it looks like it’ll take us to Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort to try out THREE new snacks debuting tomorrow, and we couldn’t be more excited!
If you were planning to enjoy a construction-free visit to a popular Disney World hotel, we’ve got some bad news. Disney is in the middle of a BIG restaurant refurbishment right now, and it seems like things might be taking longer than anticipated.
All-Star Movies
We already knew that one of Disney World’s most popular hotels, All-Star Movies Resort, was refurbishing its main restaurant. However, it seems they may need to extend that refurbishment. It might be a good idea to keep an open mind if you’ve got an upcoming trip planned.
Is there a Disney World hotel that is your favorite? It’s the one hotel you stay at every time you go to Disney World, and you’ve started to think about it as your home away from home.
Pop Century Resort
There are many hotels to choose from in Disney World. You can pick from Value, Moderate, or Deluxe resorts, each categorized by price. Each hotel is unique in its own way, but all offer special perks including transportation, cool Disney theming, and extra time in the parks in some capacity (all hotel guests can take advantage of Early Entry days, while Deluxe hotel guests also get Extended Evening hours on select nights). Even though every hotel can be a great option for people visiting Disney World, we’ve started to notice something about Disney’s Value resorts, and it’s really hard for us to talk about because it’s unfair in so many ways.
Do you have a favorite Disney World hotel?
All-Star Resorts
We know you’ve got to really consider the budget when planning your Disney World trip, and we find that a lot of people choose the Value tier of the resorts. And there’s no shame in doing that since they still offer the same Disney World experience for a fraction of the cost of the Moderate or Deluxe tier resorts. For that reason, many choose to turn to the All-Star Resort hotels since they have budget-friendly prices and larger-than-life Disney theming. But before you book a stay at one of the All-Star Resort hotels, there’s one thing you seriously have to consider (and it’s not what you think)! Let’s talk about it!
If you are a fan of All-Star Movies Resort, we have some good and bad news for you. The good news is that one of the amenities will be getting a refresh, but the bad news is that means it will need to suspend some operations for a bit.
All-Star Movies
All-Star Movies Resort is a value resort located at Walt Disney World, that is perfect if you are looking for a more inexpensive hotel option with many of the great perks that Disney World hotel guests get. It is part of a trio of All-Star Resorts which also includes All-Star Sports and All-Star Music.
If you’re thinking of staying at one of the three All-Star hotels in Disney World, here are some things you should know first!
All-Star Resorts
Disney’s All-Star Movies, Disney’s All-Star Music, and Disney’s All-Star Sports are three of the value hotel options in Disney World. These hotels do have some benefits that might make them a good fit for you (especially the value price tier, which is a MAJOR draw for families on a budget). But, before you book your stay at an All-Star hotel, here are four unfortunate occurrences we regularly experience that you should know about!
The holidays have arrived in Disney World, and it’s no secret that one of our favorite parts about the season is trying all of the new festive treats.
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
We’ve tried all kinds of new snacks, from a Peppermint Éclair to a Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, not to mention all of the fun party exclusives we had at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. If you think all of the good treats to be had are inside the theme parks, though, think again! We’ve found some of our favorite holiday eats at hotels around Disney World, so I stopped by Disney’s All-Star Resorts to check out one of their new holiday desserts.
