All-Star Music: A Resort Review

Located in the Animal Kingdom Resort area of Walt Disney World property, the resort is themed to bring guests in sync with different genres of music. Each section within the resort has a musical theme, complete with accentuating décor in guest rooms and huge icons near the buildings and in the courtyards. If you are a country music fan, you might find yourself at home in the Country Fair section. Jazz Inn and Rock Inn offer theming specific to these types of sounds and theater buffs might find themselves in heaven in the Broadway Hotel section.

Guest rooms at All-Star Music are classified as either standard or preferred. Standard rooms are located throughout the property, while preferred rooms are located in the Calypso section. While preferred rooms do cost a bit more, for your extra dollars put you into buildings conveniently located near Melody Hall, the central hub of activity for the resort.

Accommodations in standard or preferred rooms include 2 double beds, a small table and chairs, as well as a small dresser. The rooms accommodate 4 people and a child under 2 in a crib. As with all Disney's Value resorts, these are the smallest rooms of any of the Disney resorts at 260 sq. feet.

Summer 2006 brought some exciting changes to All-Star Music. Family Suites that accommodate up to 6 plus one child were added to parts of the Jazz and Calypso sections. The suites are available in both standard and preferred locations. Twice the area of a standard room, these suites feature a queen bed, sofa sleeper and two convertible twin beds along with a kitchenette. One of the biggest advantages is not one but two full bathrooms, a real plus for large families!

While there is no full service restaurant on site at All-Star Music, Intermission Food Court offers several food stations with a variety of offerings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late evening snacking. In addition, there is a pizza delivery service should you feel like taking a break and eating in your room. You can pick up a refillable mug here for $11.99 and refill it as many times as you wish during your stay.
