Disney has different tiers of accommodations which will vary greatly in price and amenities. Disney value resorts are the entry level accommodations for on property accommodations. The rooms are ordinary rooms which are rather small but serve the purpose for sleeping. I equate these resorts to a Days Inn or Comfort Inn type of room. They are very simple two double beds with a basic bathroom sink, shower, and toilet. The grounds however are usually fairly large and because Disney doesn't do anything small there will be a large themed swimming pool, playgrounds, and some even have game rooms. Most of the value resorts have a food court style eatery which has everything from pizza to burgers. The selection is usually pretty large with alot of seating and the food is typical fast food quality. There are a number of value resorts to choose from each with its own themeing. The value resorts are listed below along with a brief description of each.
1. All-Star Movies is of coursed themed after surprisingly movies! It is a 1,920 room resort featuring the following movie themed buildings: 101 Dalmatians, Toy Story, Fantasia (original and 2000), The Mighty Ducks and Herbie: The Love Bug. These rooms will range anywhere from $82 to $145 a night based on rack room rate with no promotions depending on the season. There are a maximum of 4 people per room and preferred room locations are located nearest the guest service facilities in Cinema Hall. Fantasia, Toy Story, and 101 Dalmatians will be the buildings closest to Cinema should you choose the request them. The resort offer two pools including one with a kiddie area for you enjoyment. The main central building offers a film-inspired food court with five stands, a gift shop, arcade and playground.
2. All-Star Music is of course themed after various musical styles. The ASM resort is a 1,920 room resort featuring the following musically themed buildings: Calypso, Jazz Inn, Rock Inn, Country Fair, and the Broadway Hotel. With jazz, rock, country, and other musical styles represented this is a fun and lively resort with many options similar to the Movies resort. There are two theme pools, kiddie pool, food court, small playground, and of course a food court. The food court has a market, bakery, grill, and a pizza place. The Music resort does also have family suites which have a master bedroom and a family which is supposed to sleep 6 which I am assuming is 2 adults and four children. It also has a kitchenette and two bathrooms which would be nice on a vacation.
3. All-Star Sports is you guessed it a sports themes resort. There are five sports themes here including football, tennis, baseball, basketball, and interestingly enough surfing. The food court offers six stands offering things like pizza, BBQ, grilled foods, and also a convience market. The room sizes and the resort grounds are similar to all the other All-Stars but with a varying theme. There are also two theme pools (one is a quiet pool), a kiddie pool, and a game room on the grounds for your enjoyment.
4. Pop Century is Disney's newest value resort and is themed around pop culture items from the 1950's, 1960's. 1970's, 1980's and the 1990's. Rooms are 260 square feet, with two double beds, a table and two chairs, vanity area and sink with separate bathroom in other words the same as all the other value resorts. The food court has five stations offering pizza, bakery, market and grill and very similar to all the other values. There are three feature pools, a kiddie pool, arcade, and a playground. There is also a 5,000 square foot retail center to do some shopping.
As you can see although the themes are different for the most part the size and amenities are very similar across all value resorts. Which to choose from really varies based on preference. If I had to choose for my family it would probably be Pop Century partly because it is the newest so has the least amount of wear and because it is typically the highest rated in customer polls among the values.
