If you are looking for an affordable resort option that allows
you to take advantage of the onsite resort perks, Disney's All Star Resorts are the place for you! At the All Star Sports
Resort, bigger is better. You'll find bright, bold and colorful pop art icons such as a 4-story football helmet, giant "tennis
ball can" and megaphone-shaped stairwells.
The five sports themes are: football, tennis, baseball, basketball
and surfing. The two 3-story Touchdown buildings have “spectators” lining the railings of each floor with a giant
football helmet (large enough to fit a 200-foot tall football player!) encasing the stairwells. The Center Court tennis-themed
buildings have a giant tennis racquet that at 51 feet tall is actually large enough to cover an entire tennis court! The tennis
balls attached to the balconies are just about 5 feet in diameter. At the Home Run Hotel, super-sized baseball icons such
as bats, stadium lights and scoreboards help get visitors in the spirit of things. The giant Coke cup could hold more than
20 million 12-ounce cans of Coke. Huge pennants of various sports teams line the roof of the Hoops Hotel. The megaphone that
covers the stairwell is 45 feet tall and the two whistles are 60 feet long and 20 feet high. The Surfs Up buildings are decorated
with surfboards, red snappers and dolphins. The shark that could be attached to the two 38-foot fins, would have to be 300-feet
long. Each area has two 3-story buildings and 384 guest rooms.
Guests checking in to Stadium Hall may feel like they are
entering a basketball gymnasium with caged lighting and mini-sized red lockers, but in this building, they will find the main
check-in, Guest Services area, food court, gift shop and arcade.

called Surfboard Bay, is located between these two buildings. As you continue away from Stadium Hall past the Surf’s
Up! section, you will come to the Hoops Hotel on the right in buildings #2 and #3, and to the left is Center Court in Buildings
#4 and #5. You will find the Touchdown! section to the left as you exit Stadium Hall contained in buildings #7 and #10. Just
beyond Touchdown!, you will find buildings #8 and #9 which make up the Home Run Hotel section. The second swimming pool, called

Giant shark fins, surfboards and waves circle the pool area. Lifeguards are on duty from 10am-10pm. There is also a children’s
wading pool here. The Grand Slam pool is the quiet pool and is located in front of the Home Run hotel. It is shaped like a
baseball diamond with an "outfield" sundeck and a water-sprinkling Goofy “pitching” from the center of the pool.
There are no slides in either of these pools. Both pools range in depth from 3ft to 5ft. Chaise lounges, tables and chairs
are found around the pool for your relaxation pleasure. Showers and change rooms can be found at both pool areas. Guests of
