Have a fantastic vacation!!

We have never stayed in the Movies but I run by it every morning when I'm in Orlando and it looks cool. Obviously none of the stars compare to PC for its newness and ambience as well as the PC has 4 floors compared to 3 for the stars. You can't help but have a great time in ANY of them though so don't sweat it.

Originally Posted By pixarpixiedust p.s. I agree with Blaze. Get yourself a rental car. It gives you so much more freedom to move around. It's worth the extra bucks, and you're already saving money by staying at All Stars rather than at another, more pricey WDW resort.
Originally Posted By cape cod joe Everyone is different but I've never heard anyone say not to be close to the food court and pool? I don't understand that at all as the kids love the pool and no one wants to walk too far. Even my 8 year old son (at the time of our first visit) said he felt bad for all the people who had so far to walk to get to the fc and the pool and the arcade and the action. Maybe for the quiet? WDW is NOT for the quiet though. The Cape here, is for that. I just don't want people to think that it's the best advice ever.

I want to be close and that's what I want Big Goof, a newbie, to know> it's critical to be close to the food court and pool and arcades, lobbies, etc. That's all I meant. I don't want to quibble but I want Big Goof to know that.

Of course you have the fam that never sleeps with the kids night night and see you'all at 3

I prefer the Movies if I am going to stay at an All Star Resort...

Originally Posted By rhodisney I agree with sun-n-fun about not getting a ground floor room , or a corner room, or one by the elevator or stairwell. I've stayed in one or the other in the All Stars...not the quietest of hotels, but what do you expect with a family atmosphere. We've stayed at Movies and Sports. Sports was boring theme wise, and looked very run down. Movies appealed to our 8 yr. old more, so the next one to tackle is the Music.
