DISNEY'S VERSION OF A BUDGET RESORT
features three distinct themes ex-
ecuted in the same hyperbolic style. Spread over a vast expanse, the resorts comprise
almost35three-storymotel-styleguest-roombuildings.Eachresorthasitsownlobby,
food court, and registration area. All-Star Sports Resort features huge sports icons:
bright football helmets, tennis rackets, and baseball bats—all taller than the buildings
they adorn. Similarly, All-Star Music Resort features 40-foot guitars, maracas, and
saxophones, while All-Star Movies Resort showcases giant popcorn boxes and icons
from Disney films. Lobbies of all are loud (in both decibels and brightness) and car-
toonish, with checkerboard walls and photographs of famous athletes, musicians, and
film stars.
At 260 square feet, guest rooms are very small—so small, in fact, that a family
of four attempting to stay in one room might redefine “family values” by week's end.
