Disney’s All-Star Music Resort


Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
On-Site at Walt Disney World

This resort was a pleasant surprise, it was our first stay here and we really enjoyed it. I did forget how small the value resort rooms feel - especially for a family of four. The rooms have either two double beds or one king bed, no fridge, and no coffee pot. The coffee pot thing gets me every time! You cannot, for love or money, get coffee until 6:00am. We were in a standard building near the piano pool. I thought it was the perfect location because it was quiet and secluded. As an agent though, I have to tell this: if you are staying more than a few nights and you don’t have a car, you want a preferred building because it is quite a hike from the main building to the back of the property. We took the bus to down town Disney and it took about 45 minutes between the wait and the transfer time. The return trip was much quicker, but the bus was very crowded (even for off season).

I loved the grounds of the All-Star Music; it had a relaxed comfortable feel to it. The pools were both nice and there was even a pool party with cartoons one night on a huge blow up screen. Another tip: check the schedule of resort activities because Disney Resorts always have great things happening on property. This is handy, especially if you feel the need for a break from the parks. If you haven’t tried the All-Stars Music, I’d say give it a whirl. I would say the biggest negative about the resort would be that it shares a bus with the other All-Star Resorts and I imagine that during the peak season, the buses would always be overcrowded. You might consider renting a car if you were going to stay a week or upgrade to a moderate resort.
