Cons
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort

- Food court quality is consistently below expectations
- No Skyliner or monorail, bus-only transportation to parks
- Common areas can be very loud especially at night
Disney's Yacht Club Resort
- Very expensive even by Deluxe resort standards

- No monorail access, bus or walk required to Magic Kingdom
- Nautical theming may not excite young children as much as other resorts
