Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is one of five Value Resorts located on Walt Disney World property. It also has two sister hotels located nearby: Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort and Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. Being a Value Resort, All-Star Music is cheaper per night and doesn’t offer the same amenities as Moderate and Deluxe Resorts. But, it is still a popular resort, especially due to pricing.

Overview

All-Star Music is in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area. For a Value Resort, it’s a decent size and has different buildings with Family Suites, Standard Rooms, or Preferred Rooms.

If you want to be in closer proximity to the food court and transportation, then you may want to consider booking a Preferred Room.

These rooms cost more due to location, but they may be worth it for those who don’t want to walk far between their room and Melody Hall, the main building where the lobby, food court, gift store, and transportation is located.

As for the buildings, they are inspired by different genres of music, including Calypso, Jazz Inn, Rock Inn, Country Fair, and Broadway Hotel.

There are even large-sized, music-inspired icons outside of each building. The decor makes for great photos.

Here’s everything you need to know about All-Star Music.
