Giant trombones and musical themes from jazz to calypso are the only things differentiating this from the other All-Star resorts (they're all clones of each other -- including the microscopic bathrooms -- except for the different themes). While the extra frills at the other Disney resorts won't be found at the All-Stars, the rooms do have a significant perk: They're the least expensive (by a large margin) of all the Disney resorts. Most people, however, don't come to WDW to lounge in their rooms, so if you're only going to be here to sleep, the cramped quarters may not be so bad. The closest parks are Blizzard Beach and Animal Kingdom, which you can reach (not necessarily in an expedient manner) via the Disney Transportation System.
Tip: Larger families with smaller budgets can still stay at the Mouse's house thanks to a recent room redesign at this resort. The rehab brought with it the addition of larger, more comfortable family suites. At 550 square feet, the suites sleep up to 6 and feature two full bathrooms, a kitchenette, a separate bedroom and living area, and such upgraded amenities as flatscreen TVs.
