Disney’s All-Star Music Resort: Tune Into Affordable Disney Fun with Music-Inspired Rooms
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to experience the magic of Disney World, All-Star Music Resort is a fantastic option. As a Value Resort, it offers immersive Disney theming, family-friendly accommodations, and all the perks of staying on property—without the high price tag. Whether you’re a music lover, traveling with kids, or simply seeking an affordable place to stay, this resort has plenty to offer.
Theming & Atmosphere
All-Star Music Resort celebrates the universal love of music with sections dedicated to different genres, including Rock, Jazz, Broadway, Calypso, and Country. Larger-than-life musical instruments, from massive guitars to towering drum sets, decorate the resort, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere. The resort’s colorful design and playful details make it a favorite among families and music fans alike.
Room Options & Accommodations
All-Star Sports Resort offers Standard and Preferred Rooms, as well as Family Suites, making it a great option for larger groups.
Standard Rooms come with either one King-size bed or one Queen bed plus a Queen-size Murphy bed. While you can request a King bed, it’s not guaranteed.
Preferred Rooms guarantee a spot near the Melody Hall, food court, and transportation. These rooms are located in the Calypso and Jazz sections.
Family Suites sleep up to 6 guests. Includes a separate bedroom with a Queen bed, plus two pull-down Murphy beds in the living area. Features two bathrooms and a kitchenette with a microwave, coffee maker, and beverage cooler
Pro Tip: If you’re traveling with a larger family, the Family Suites are one of the best values on Disney property. They provide extra space and amenities while still keeping costs lower than booking two separate rooms at another resort.
Dining Options
While All-Star Music doesn’t have a table-service restaurant, Intermission Food Court offers a variety of quick-service meals, snacks, and grab-and-go options. From Mickey waffles and pizza to fresh salads and kid-friendly choices, there’s something for everyone. Mobile Ordering is available, making it easy to grab a meal on the go.

Recreation & Amenities
Despite being a Value Resort, All-Star Music offers plenty of fun activities for guests of all ages:
Calypso Pool – The main pool, shaped like a guitar with a fountain featuring the Three Caballeros.
Piano Pool – A quieter, piano-shaped pool located at the back of the resort.
Campfire Activities — Located at Calypso Pool 6:30pm-7:30pm Nightly
Note’able Games Arcade – A mix of classic and modern video games.
Movies Under the Stars – Located at the Calypso Pool 8:30pm Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
Jogging Trails – A scenic path around the resort.
Playground - Little musical prodigies can swing and slide at the play area located near the Jazz Inn section.
Transportation & Park Access
Guests at All-Star Music Resort use Disney’s complimentary bus service to reach all four theme parks, Disney Springs, and other Disney destinations. Buses sometimes share routes with All-Star Movies and All-Star Sports Resorts, which can lead to longer wait times during peak hours.
There is no Skyliner or Monorail access, so if you’re looking for a resort with more transportation options, Pop Century, Art of Animation or a Moderate or Deluxe Resort may be a better fit.
Disney transportation to the parks starts running about 45 minutes to an hour before the official park opening. If you want to take advantage of Early Entry for resort guests, I’d recommend getting to the bus stop about an hour before early admission begins. If you’re planning for a more laid-back morning, arriving at the bus stop 30–45 minutes before you want to be in the park should work just fine.
If you’re driving, All-Star Music offers free parking for resort guests.
This is an old map, but it still gives you a great idea of where the resort is located.
Location
All-Star Sports Music is part of the larger All-Star Resort complex, located in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area. Thanks to Disney’s complimentary bus transportation, you’re just minutes from Animal Kingdom and have easy access to the other three parks, as well as Disney Springs for shopping and dining.
Cost & Value
As a Value Resort, All-Star Music offers some of the most affordable on-property accommodations at Disney World. Prices typically range from $225 to $275 per night depending on the season and promotions.
