These 260-square foot rooms are refurbished and improved. A modern hardwood-floor look replaces carpet. IKEA-style storage nooks and space-saving touches are everywhere. One feature we love is that the second bed is a fold-down option. When the bed isn't in use, it disappears into the wall, freeing floor space (and turning into a desk).
A door separates the main sleeping area from sink/bathroom area, and another door separates the toilet and shower from these. This allows up to three groups to get ready at the same time.
These suites are less expensive than those at Disney's Art of Animation. At 520 square feet, they're slightly smaller than those at Art of Animation. But they're larger than the Fort Wilderness Cabins and have two bathrooms to the cabins' one. Plus these suites feature two queen-size beds in the living area and one queen-size bed in the separate bedroom.
These suites are essentially two standard rooms glued together. The suites have two bathrooms, including one with a walk-in shower off the bedroom.
We’ve mapped and taken photographs of the views from every single room on Walt Disney World property! Our Room Finder helps you find the perfect room for you and then request that room from Disney.
There is no full-service restaurant at any Disney value resort, including the All-Stars. The Intermission Food Court is organized like a food court at a mall.
Maestro Mickey's Souvenir shop with a limited selection of food, snacks, drinks, and groceries.

SWIPE TO EXPLORE
All-Star Music has two large pools. The Calypso Pool is shaped like a giant guitar and features Donald Duck. A small kiddie pool is nearby. And the Piano Pool is - you guessed it! - shaped like a giant piano.
The Note'able Games arcade is just off the main lobby and features relatively recent video games of all kinds.
Free Disney Movies Under the Stars are shown most evenings, weather-permitting, near the Calypso Pool.
A lap around all three All-Star Resorts is about a mile. There's a map in the main lobby near the check-in desk.
A children's' playground, with slides and other play structures, is between the Fantasia and Toy Story sections of the resort.
Disney resort guests get into each theme park 30 minutes earlier than off-site guests, every day.
Practical Matters
Check-in is 3:00pm
Check-out is 11:00am
All Disney resorts participate in Disney’s Online Check-In program. If you’ve checked-in online and provided a mobile phone number or email address, you will receive your room number electronically. Then you can go straight to the room and use your smart phone or MagicBand to open the door, skipping the lobby altogether.
These rubber and plastic wrist bands can function as your room key, park admission, charge card, and more! MagicBands cost money, but if you'd like a free option you can use the official Disney World app on your phone or request an RFID-embedded card at the front desk.
Park tickets are best purchased online in advance either directly through Disney or via our Least Expensive Ticket Calculator. However, if you arrive without park tickets, head to the concierge desk in the hotel lobby.
Dining reservation are best made online in advance or on your phone or tablet during your visit. You can also use our Disney World Reservation Finder.
Washers and dryers are availabile in laundry facilities at each Disney World hotel. Cost is $3 per wash, and another $3 per dry cycle. A small selection of soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are also sold, for around $1 each. Only credit/debit cards can be used for payment. For more information, see our Disney World Laundry Facilities page.
If you lose something in a theme park or during your stay at a Disney-operated hotel, visit Disney's Lost and Found website or call (407) 824-4245.
Disney hotels have gifts shops near their lobbies with a decent collection of Disney-branded souvenirs. You will also find basic pharmacy items such as sunscreen, aspirin, allergy and cold medicine, baby diapers and formula, shampoo, and the like. Resort hotels with Deluxe Villa rooms offer an assortment of groceries, as well.
Disney recommends a third party company, Kid's Nite Out, to provide babysitting services at the resort hotels. See our Disney World Child Care page for more information.
Transportation
All-Star Music is located in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area. All modern GPS apps, and Google Maps, will have clear driving directions to it. As a backup, look for Disney road signs directing you toward the Animal Kingdom once you're on property, and then look for signs for the All-Star Resorts once you're close to the Animal Kingdom.
Destination | Bus | Car |
---|---|---|
Magic Kingdom | 25 min | 37 min |
EPCOT | 25 min | 18 min |
Hollywood Studios | 23 min | 16 min |
Animal Kingdom | 20 min | 11 min |
Disney Springs | 24 min | 13 min |
Disney provides free bus service to all theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. Buses run about every 20 minutes. It's almost always faster to drive your car if you have one, except to the Magic Kingdom.
If you have your own car, it's faster to drive yourself everywhere except the Magic Kingdom.
You can walk to the other All-Star Resorts. For all other resort destinations, the fastest option is an Uber, Lyft, or taxi. Disney's bus service is free but slow, and will probably require you to use an intermediate destination like Disney Springs, to get to your destination. And that can take a couple of hours each way if you're unluckly.
if you have a car, the easiest way to get to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and other tourist destinations is to drive. Alternatively, Mears Transportation operates shuttle services between the Disney hotels and other theme parks.
