Disney's All-Star Movies Resort
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort is one of Disney World's value hotels. This 1,920-room hotel is divided into a handful of larger-than-life sections. For example, the hotel's "Toy Story" section has a bucket of green army men that is nearly 30 feet tall. As if that weren't enough, the resort also has a 30-foot tall Woody and a 47-foot tall Buzz Lightyear. Other areas of the hotel follow themes from "101 Dalmations," "Love Bug," "Fantasia" and "The Mighty Ducks." The main building of this hotel is known as Cinema Hall. This building includes the lobby, the large food court and an arcade. The hotel features two pools, one of which is designed to look like the sorcerer's apprentice's hat Mickey Mouse wears in "Fantasia." When you want to get a round of golf in, you can go to Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, a nine-hole course that is great for beginners.
