We have stayed at the all star movies resort......... and I can tell you without a doubt that these two do NOT even compare to one another............ frankly, one is a hotel and one is a RESORT!!! We enjoyed asm, my little one loves toy story and disney, he was in heaven........... however, we stayed at RPR last aug. and completely fell in love with it. It is the most gorgeous resort, and it is so MUCH more upscale it isn't even funny......... that someone would compare them is mind boggling. Yes, it is true that the RPR is the least expensive universal resort........ but with that said, it is on par with the poly or the more upscale disney resorts.......... hardly the asm. You will NOT be disappointed!!
I liked it better than the poly actually, it was so much more "tropical" the atmosphere, the staff, the rooms, the entire place made us feel like we were in fiji or somewhere. You'll love it, maybe as much as we did!!
