Disney's All-Star Music Resort, Orlando

It was the cheapest resort in Disney for a family of four. Customer service at the front desk was a real problem. For instance, I was appalled when observing front-desk manager ignoring front-desk clerk pleas for help with my reservation. After 30 minutes, finally someone else in the front-desk area was able to fix the problem. Also, in several occasions, my wife tried talking to a manager relating other issues; however, she never got to talk to a person face to face. Eventually she received phone messages, but by then some issues were resolved, or quite frankly, it was too late! Pricing at the local restaurant was outrageous, i.e., an average of $50.00 per meal for my family, and the food was not that great. Also, if you order a pizza, be ready to pay a 15% gratuity plus a delivery charge. The rooms were very small and have no kitchens (basic room w/ two twin size beds). Also, if you want a fridge in your room, you have to pay approximately $10.00 per night for a very small refrigerator. Riding the buses to several parks was very nice. We did not have to wait too long when going to the parks. However, we experienced up to 20 minutes wait when coming from MGM Studios. In the busiest times like Christmas week, Extra Magic hours may vary. Also, one of the water parks was closed. Thus, check with hotel or travel agent before making reservations. In a nut shell, this hotel will give you a nice/clean place to crash for the night. However, if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy some hotel amenities, you are getting what you paid for! More importantly, customer service is nonexistent. We are not going back to Disney! I never paid so much money for standing in lines for over 60 minutes, and everything is really expensive.

We stayed at All Star Music because they had a 1 bedroom suite which we totaly needed. Never again! Little did we know that the week of Dec. 3 thru Dec. 8 2006 there would be grade school cheerleaders and football players regionals from all over the US at Disney World that week. I feel we should have been warned. The All Star Hotel buses which pick up at all three, Music, Movies and Sports were all always crowded so you almost never got a seat to sit in on the long bus ride to the parks and Downtown. Plus we were serenaded by groups of cheerleaders just about everywhere you went where they showed up, which was everywhere. One can only assume that anytime of year you stay at one of the three above you are going to find crowds due to the fact that these are value resorts. Disney needs to make more one bedroom suites at some of their other resorts too. I will not stay at the value resorts again. I would rather stay off Disney where there are so many nice hotels with one bedroon suites with FREE Breakfast and rent my own car then wait around for buses to pick me up after standing on my feet all day and not be able to get a seat for the long ride back to my hotel.

We liked staying at the All Star Music Resort, with one exception. The parking lot was very noisy, and we had a room next to the lot. It took a bit to fall asleep. Other than that, it is a very good value for the money, and the decor is adorable.

I just returned from Disney's All Star Music resort and it was so great. I loved the suite. We had 5 people all together and it was very roomy. 2 Queen beds and 2 twins when the sofas were pulled out. We had a pool view in the Calypso building and it wasn't far from the food court. We also used the bus to the Magic Kingdom and did not have to wait in line that long at all. I recommend if you have children because of the intense color scheme and decor. I thought it was a great price too. By the way, I also recommend the chocolate chip pancakes at the food court for breakfast. The gift shop was also very nice. The staff at the front desk were also very helpful and kept my 2yr old son in stock with balloons. Definitley planning on coming back very very soon!!!

I loved how everything was fast and easy. Well, the food at dinner time was not very good, but the other meal times was. The pools are incredible. Two pools that match the scenery of the area. They had a bar consistingof soda and margaritas. Great cable and no annoying Nickolodeon. And they offer great stuff there.

The resort was in a great location. Room was adequate, however, love bugs were everywhere including in the bathtub. They were on our room door, so everytime we opened it some flew in. Never saw anything like it!

Stayed here for 7 days/6 nights. We were in one of the back sections (Broadway). Was a nice little walk, but not too bad. Away from the noise. Food court was good. Normal fare. Burger, pizza, quesadillas, salads. Family of four, we bought two of the refillable mugs, and refilled constantly between the four of us. Food was included with our plan, and the meals were filling. Hubby & I split a double bacon cheeseburger/fries and were both full. Kids didn't want to split theirs. LOL The pools are great. Lifeguards are off duty at midnight, but the kids can hang out there till whenever. Our two sons (19 & 12) came in almost every night at 2 am. They weren't easily woken up at 6:30 however. LOL While, I would've liked a room closer to the front, I would've never slept had I had a room by the pool. Buses ran regularly. We took advantage of the Magic Evening/Morning hours of the parks opening early or closing late, exclusive to resort guests. We always got a seat leaving our hotel (All Star Sports is first pick up & drop off). Returning to the hotel was another story. If you feel like waiting for a bus where you can sit, you'll probably let 2-3 buses pass before. Even that wasn't too bad. Depending on the children's age. Rides are at the longest 30 minutes (Magic Kingdom). We'd get to the park when they opened, come back in the middle of the day to rest, and head back out later in the evening. It's not big on entertainment. They have the pools and an arcade. Our kids were happy with it for the most part. Older one wished there was more to do (horseback riding, etc), which was available if you wanted. We just didn't really have the time to explore the extras. If you don't plan on hanging out at the hotel much, just an midday break and to sleep, this is well worth it. I'd use it again, as opposed to spending more money elsewhere.

Nice people very good service and very polite i would go back in a hearybeat so if you have a choise, i would go there

This time we traveled with the school band and stayed in Disney's All Star Music Resort. We were in the jazz section, of course. We enjoyed aour stay, although we had a few mishaps, nothing that wasn't taken care of though. We were further from the main stay area, but the exercise was good for us!

Cheapest option if you want to avail yourself of the Extra Magic Hours and Magical Express services, only offered to guests at official WDW hotels. The rooms are clean, although the walls are thin and the housekeeping is somewhat variable. Check to make sure the cheerleading teams aren't staying there the same time you are, and it should be fine.
