Prior to our trip in October 2014, we'd always stayed at a moderate, CBR or POFQ. I admit it, I was a resort snob, I had always considered Port Orleans my "home" resort and thought that anything other than that be "not good enough". On our last trip, we needed two rooms because we've got 3 kids, who were 16, 13 and 6 at the time of that visit (think bathroom logistics, space, etc.). We booked 2 adjoining rooms at All Star Sports and I was jot thrilled at that thought, dang it...I wanted my evening boat ride on the Sassagoula River to Downtown Disney/Disney Springs from the French Quarter! We arrive at the hotel via Magical Express and proceeded to the check in counter. I was expecting a tortuous process because it's a value (remember, I'm a resort snob). It went quicker than our last check in at POFQ. We walked into the food offerings at the End Zone Food Court which had recently been renovated and were pleasantly surprised by the variety of the food offered. We walked to our room which was in the football section (we'd requested the baseball section). We opened the door to the rooms and were very pleased. The furnishings were themed but not over the top. The size difference between a value and a moderate was negligible but the price difference was huge. We enjoyed both pools there and we never waited more than 10 to 12 minutes on a bus. As for the buses, we never shared with the other All Stars, going to or returning. The housekeeping was as good as we'd had a CBR and FQ, the customer service was your typical Disney service, good. As for this resort snob, I am in recovery. And as part of my recovery, I booked an upcoming trip, staying at All Star Sports. My new home resort.
