Room Options & Accommodations

All-Star Sports Resort offers Standard and Preferred Rooms, both designed to comfortably sleep up to four guests (plus one child under three in a crib).

Standard Rooms come with either one King-size bed or one Queen bed plus a Queen-size Murphy bed. While you can request a King bed, it’s not guaranteed.
Preferred Rooms guarantee a spot near the Stadium Hall Lobby, food court, and transportation. These rooms are located in the Surf’s Up! section (Buildings 1 & 6) and the "Touchdown!" section (Buildings 7 & 10) , making them both convenient and fun.

While rooms are on the smaller side at 260 square feet, they provide everything needed for a comfortable stay while keeping costs low.

Pro Tip: Preferred rooms are highly recommended for their proximity to the main lobby and bus transportation—saving you time and steps after long park days. Guests who book standard rooms often find themselves exhausted by the extra walk, especially after a full day of Disney fun.

Transportation & Park Access

Guests at All-Star Sports Resort rely on Disney’s complimentary bus service to reach all four theme parks, Disney Springs, and other Disney destinations. While buses are efficient, they are sometimes shared with All-Star Movies and All-Star Music Resorts, which can lead to longer wait times during peak hours.

There is no Skyliner or Monorail access, so if you’re looking for a resort with more transportation options, Pop Century, Art of Animation or a Moderate or Deluxe Resort may be a better fit.

Disney transportation to the parks starts running about 45 minutes to an hour before the official park opening. If you want to take advantage of Early Entry for resort guests, I’d recommend getting to the bus stop about an hour before early admission begins. If you’re planning for a more laid-back morning, arriving at the bus stop 30–45 minutes before you want to be in the park should work just fine.

Exact travel times can vary, but here’s a general idea of how long the ride takes once you’re on the bus:

• Magic Kingdom: ~18 minutes

• EPCOT: ~18 minutes

• Hollywood Studios: ~15 minutes

• Animal Kingdom: ~15 minutes

These times don’t include waiting for the bus, boarding, or unloading, so always plan for a little extra time. Disney officially suggests allowing 1.5–2 hours to get from one spot to another on property, but unless you’re visiting during peak times, that’s usually more time than you’ll actually need.

If you’re driving, All-Star Sports offers free parking for resort guests.

Location

All-Star Sports Resort is part of the larger All-Star Resort complex, located in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area. Thanks to Disney’s complimentary bus transportation, you’re just minutes from Animal Kingdom and have easy access to the other three parks, as well as Disney Springs for shopping and dining.
