If anything seemed like the All-Stars to me, it was the random Disney studio marquee out in the gardens. Pretty much everything in the building itself seemed like it was at least on part with the WDW Moderates, with touches from the Deluxes here and there. Especially for the price, I was really impressed!<<<< >>>You know, FerretAfros, now that you say that about the Hollywood Hotel and now that I think about it, I think the reason I was comparing it to All-Star Movies was the mural behind the front desk. I think that mural stuck in my mind. I'm looking at the pics I took of it, and you're right: it did had some nice touches. The bar, in the lobby, was particularly nice!<<< Since you are talking about the Hollywood Hotel at HKDL, here some pictures of the hotel. You can see the mural as well. <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://dejiki.com/2013/12/hkdl-disneys-hollywood-hotel-tour/">http://dejiki.com/2013/12/hkdl...el-tour/</a> By the way, that site also shows some wonderful pictures of TDR as well.
