Disney's All Star Music Resort Pros and Cons
The Pros
Advantages - Clean, comfortable two cute pools and colorful Music themed buildings. The value resorts enjoy many of the same benefits as the more expensive resorts - things like "Early Theme Park Entry" or free Disney theme park transportation - but at a much lower price. This is the only value resort that combines Family Suites and Standard Rooms in the same buildings, offering family reunions and large groups flexibility in room size with the ability to stay in close proximity. Disney's All-Star Music and All-Star Sports often receive the biggest discount for promotions on room rate. The All-Star Music Family Suites typically cost less than the family suites at Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
The Cons
Disadvantages - The standard rooms are small - 260 square feet - and basic; they're fine for people just want a clean, convenient place to sleep. During low seasons or off-times, the All-Star resorts might share buses and, in that case, the All-Star Music resort is typically the second stop. The value resorts do not have slides at the pools. There is a food court but the resort does not have a table-service restaurant.
Our Opinion - We love the fact that Disney's All-Star Music Resort is clean, fun, and has all the Disney benefits at a price that normal people can afford. It may make sense to splurge on a moderate or deluxe hotel if you'll spend enough time at the resort to enjoy the amenities but the value resorts are a great fit for guests who spend almost all of their waking hours in the theme parks. We also think that All-Star Music has an ideal location because it is in-between the All-Star Movies and All-Star Sports resorts, making it easy to walk to an adjoining resort to enjoy the food court or swimming pools. It would be nice if the pool had a slide but that is our only real complaint.
