DETAILED REVIEW

Check In
Although you can check in as early as you would like, your room is not guaranteed to be ready until 3:00 pm. We highly recommend doing online check in, because at times the lines can become quite long for the check in process. This is something that your PPDD Travel Planner can do for you to save you time upon checking in.
Dining

There is both indoor seating:

The feature pool, which is centrally located just behind Stadium Hall (the main building with the food court) is the Surfboard Bay Pool.

**TIP: Value resorts do not provide towels at the pool. Be sure to bring your own towel from your room!

Rooms
First, let’s look at the resort map.
There are 5 sections of buildings, each with a different theme: Surf’s Up, Touch Down, Center Court, Hoops Hotel and Homerun Hotel. The main building that houses the check in desk, End Zone Food Court and Sport Goofy Gifts and Sundries is called Stadium Hall. The bus stop for the parks is located just in front of that buildling.
There are 2 room categories at this resort, both of which can be requested with 2 Double Beds or 1 King Bed.
- Standard Room – sections include Hoops Hotel, Center Court, Touch Down and Homerun Hotel
- Preferred Room – Surf’s Up section only
There is a slight up charge for the preferred room, but well worth it. It puts you in the buildings that are closer to Stadium Hall. Here is a layout of the room:
Here is a video tour inside the room. This tour was actually at the All Star Music Resort, but all of the All Star rooms have the exact same layout, just different decor.
Now let’s take a walk through the different themed sections, so you can better choose which area suites your family.
Surf’s Up (preferred location)
