Just going to the parks can be quite a workout, especially if you are going "theme park commando" style.


I really don't see how he's going to have time to try to play any organized sports while trying to tour WDW.

Bicycles can be rented throughout WDW, I don't know if All Stars Movies have them or not. I kinda doubt it!


Just found this : (http://www.allearsnet.com/acc/faq_asm.htm)

Are there things offered at other Disney hotels that I am not getting as ASM is a budget hotel?

Yes. The ASM does not offer services such as concierge desk, sit down restaurants, marina, recreational opportunities (such as bicycle rental, water sports, tennis), health club facilities, day care facility in the ASM lobby area (such as the Neverland Club at the Polynesian or the Cub's Den at Wilderness Lodge), room service for food other than pizza, and water/monorail transportation to theme parks. However, as a Disney guest, you can participate in these activities at other Disney resorts. Check with Lobby Concierge for additional information

I don't know of any public gyms in Disney. Whether or not you have access to a gym will probably depend strictly on whether or not your hotel has one. Most hotels have at least a couple of decent cardio machines, but if he wants to lift weights, he will probably be very limited in that area. Most hotel gyms have a horrible selection of free-weights and resistance training machines.

As another poster said... I don't see how one would have time to work out while there, especially since there isn't a facility at your resort to do so. He would basically have to take a bus to the park, bus to the resort with a gym, work out, then bus back to a park, and then another bus back to the resort. That hardly seems worth it to me. I do remember being able to pay (I want to say per hour) at the CSR gym... but not sure about the others. There are several gyms on property though.

Disney doesn't really have organized sport locations, but there are beach volleyball and tennis courts on property. Again though, you would have to take time out of your day to get there.

I would recommend maybe spending an afternoon at Fort Wilderness. You can rent bikes there and the trails are pefect for a nice bike ride. There are beach volleyball courts, tennis courts, and even basketball courts located around the resort. You can also go fishing

From Allears.com:

There are so many fun things to do at FW that some campers never leave the resort. Activities/facilities include:

Two lighted tennis courts - complimentary equipment available for resort guests at the Bike Barn. Open 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily.

$12 a day, thats pretty high if you ask me. But you are on vacation and if you need to go for it.
