Why It Might Be a Bit Harder To Buy Souvenirs at This Disney World Hotel

When we’re staying at a Disney World resort, there’s one thing we can’t miss out on. It’s not the parks, or even the food, but the gift shop!

We love staying at the All-Star resorts for Disney magic at a great price. But Disney has thrown a wrench in our plans – the gift shop of a popular All-Star resort at Disney World is under construction from now until August!

Donald’s Double Feature at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort is right off the main lobby with an assortment of Disney apparel, housewares, books, sundries, and more. From May 26th through late August 2026, Donald’s Double Feature will undergo a phased refurbishment. During this time, the store will remain open.

Despite the store remaining open, guests may see and hear construction in the area until the work is complete. Since Donald’s Double Feature is located in the lobby area and not near any rooms, hearing construction noise from your hotel room is very unlikely. This will likely only affect guests shopping in the resort’s main area or dining in the World Premiere Foodcourt.

If you’re staying at All-Star movies soon, Donald’s Double Feature isn’t the only construction you need to worry about. Beginning in late May 2026, the rooms at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort will undergo planned refurbishment through the end of January 2027. Disney hasn’t confirmed which room buildings will be updated or how the work will be phased across the resort. Based on previous refurbs, Disney will close and refurbish buildings in stages.

If you’re staying at All-Star Movies between May 2026 and January 2027, there might be some daytime construction noise. You can request a room away from active work areas during check-in, but it is not guaranteed. If your travel plans are flexible, you could book a different resort or visit All-Star Movies in spring 2027 or later to avoid the construction entirely if it’s a dealbreaker for your trip.
