Disney’s All Star Sports Resort

Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort holds 1,920 rooms across 10 sports-themed building clusters at 1701 West Buena Vista Drive in Kissimmee, Florida, placing it among the largest single hotel properties in the Walt Disney World complex. The resort celebrates the fun and excitement of sports — including baseball, basketball, football, surfing, and tennis — with oversized icons scaling taller than the buildings themselves. The resort was built in the 1990s but has recently undergone extensive refurbishments , including updated guest rooms with modern hardwood-style floors and space-saving Murphy bed configurations. All-Star Sports is a primary resort location for groups with events happening at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports.

This is a value-tier resort suited primarily for large room-block stays rather than on-site meeting or convention use. There are no table service, character dining, or signature dining restaurants on the property. Groups that need dedicated conference infrastructure should plan to use Walt Disney World’s convention hotel facilities nearby, as Walt Disney World Resort features 5 dedicated convention hotels and more than 700,000 square feet of ballroom, meeting, and event space. For sports tournaments, youth travel groups, cheer competitions, and similar events at ESPN Wide World of Sports, All-Star Sports delivers unmatched room count at a budget-friendly price point.
