Bucket List Getaways with Traci

A new system to replace Genie+ rolls out next month. Combining some previous FastPass+ features means you can plan some rides in advance - with the option of seeing what you can reserve in advance BEFORE you decide to purchase. It’s a nice way to ensure your must-dos get done.

I learned SO much about the Bahamas completing this training. With more than 700 islands, there truly is a destination to suit everyone. From big resorts to small cottage rentals, developed islands to natural paradises, beaches and diving, food and culture. There is so much to explore and experience.

I've been to Nassau several times. Both Disney and Norwegian's private islands, Castaway Cay and Great Stirrup Cay are in the Berry Islands. This summer, I'll be checking Eleuthera off my bucket list after we head there on the Disney Magic to visit the new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

I recently completed my training on the new Norwegian Aqua that sets sail in 2025, and this ship looks STUNNING! They've added more space, more loungers, and even more daybeds on the pool decks, a glass "bridge" that lets you walk 'over the ocean,' and so many other exciting new spaces.

Let's talk about Disney World resorts. You can find a million websites that tell you stay - or don't stay - at a certain resort. I'm not going to do that. I truly believe there is a Disney resort out there to fit everyone's budget - and preferences - and I can help guide you to that resort. But I'll never tell you that you MUST or NEVER should stay at a certain resort.

I personally have stayed at All-Star Movies and Pop Century in the value resort categories, Port Orleans French Quarter in the moderate category, Fort Wilderness Campground in our own camper, and Beach Club. In a few weeks, I'll be visiting the Wilderness Lodge. I'll share my real, first-hand opinions with you for every place I've stayed.

Today, I'm talking about All-Star Movies. Disney's trio of All-Star resorts (Movies, Music, and Sports) are the most affordable of the value resorts on property. What does value mean? It means there are fewer "fancy" amenities - no water slides or hot tubs at the pools, one food court dining option (no table service restaurants), no fitness center are the three biggest differences. That doesn't mean these aren't a great place to stay if the theme appeals and the price is right for your budget. These rooms still give you the great Disney resort perks of 30 minutes of early entry to any park and complimentary Disney transportation between your resort, the parks, and Disney Springs. The All-Star resorts are served by Disney buses, but you can certainly use the monorail, Skyliner, and various boats if those modes of transportation can take you between places you need to go.

The rooms are basic, but contain the main essentials for vacation - a place to sleep, a place to get ready, and - most importantly - an in-room coffee maker! There is a beverage cooler in the room - but note that it is technically NOT a refrigerator.

For a couple, these rooms give you an amazing amount of space due the Murphy bed, which doubles as a table when closed and a bed when open. For families or parties of four, the bed is easy to open up, super comfy, and can also be folded away during the day if you need the table or that extra room.

All-Star Movies has two swimming pools and five main themed room areas: Toy Story, Fantasia, Herbie the Love Bug, 101 Dalmatians, and the Mighty Ducks. Preferred rooms, which cost a little extra, are closer to amenities and the main building and are located in the Toy Story, Fantasia, and Dalmatians sections. Standard rooms are in the Mighty Ducks and Herbie sections. A fun bonus in the Mighty Ducks section is that you may even be closer to the main building of the neighboring All-Star Music resort to pop in for a quick breakfast or to catch the bus over there.

All of these photos are taken by me during one of my stays there over the past year and will give you a little glimpse at what All-Star Movies has to offer.

If you think All-Star Movies (or any Disney resort) might be the right place to stay during your vacation, reach out for a quote today.
