Disney Vacation: Our Hotel

We stayed on Disney at the All-Star Movies Resort. Their buildings all have themes from Toy Story, 101 Dalmations, Herbie the Love Bug, The Mighty Ducks and Fantasia. We requested a Toy Story room, but, those were all booked....understandably. :o) We were given a 101 Dalmations room--which I loved b/c we all enjoy that movie! Our room had Dalmations wallpaper border and bedspreads with all the movies at the hotel on it. Our light on the wall was even a Pop Corn box! The rooms were very basic hotel rooms, but we weren't there but to sleep. The hotel had two pools--one was a fantasia theme, with Mickey the sorcerer spraying water and the other was Mighty Ducks themed and it was fashioned like an ice hockey rink. Both of them were warm--not very ice-cold refreshing! :o( Each building in the themes had giant statues based on their movie theme in their "courtyard". The pictures will show better than I can explain what it was like. (These are not necessarily in order....it takes too long to move them)
The front of the hotel. This is where we'd catch our buses to and from the parks each day. You can see the guests out front in their respective lines.Herndon kids posing in the TV outside of our building.

There are giant building blocks and a giant checker board w/ checkers in this courtyard too! You enter into this section through "Andy's room's door".
