Are there any elevators or just stairwells?

There are two elevators in each building, located next to each other in the center of the building. There is also a staircase next to the elevators, and a room with an ice machine just behind them. There are also outside staircases at each end of the buildings, so if you're far from the elevators, you can use those stairways.

Can 5 people fit in a Disney's All Star Music room?

The regular rooms at the Disney's All Star Music accommodate a maximum of 4 people, or 4 people plus one child under 3 who sleeps in a crib. These maximums are in accordance with fire codes. Four adults in a Disney's All Star Music room may find the stay crowded and uncomfortable. The rooms do not have as much closet and drawer space, and there is only one sink and mirror. Two adults and two children should be able to stay at the Disney's All Star Music in comfort. Due to the low room rate, you may want to consider adjoining rooms. The cost of the two rooms may be lower than other options on property.

As of 2006, All-Star Music offers Family Suites. Each Family Suite will sleep up to 6, plus one child in a Pak-n-Play crib.

What is the difference between the room views?

"Preferred Location" rooms at Disney's All Star Music rates are slightly higher than the standard location rooms. These rooms are the closest to Melody Hall, the Intermission Food Court, and the bus stops. Currently, only the two Calypso buildings (#1 and #10) are in the preferred category. All other rooms are the same no matter what view or location you have. Your room may overlook the parking lot, or the courtyard, or the Piano Pool area. All rooms open to the exterior hallways.

Are there smoking and nonsmoking rooms?

All Disney resorts and guest rooms are smoke free. There are designated outdoor smoking areas. Check the resort map or with a Cast Member for locations.  

Are refrigerators available in the rooms?

Refrigerators are available for a $10 fee per night; with tax it comes to $10.60. They are small dorm size refrigerators - large enough for milk, orange juice, and a few other items. The supply is limited, so request a refrigerator when making your reservation and then inquire when you check in. Some of the handicapped-equipped rooms have in-room refrigerators built into the dresser units. If you get a room with a king sized bed, you may be getting a refrigerator as well. Inquire at the front desk.  

Which building is closest to the bus stop, food court, and pools?

Calypso Buildings 1 and 10 are the closest buildings to the main building (Melody Hall) where the food courts and bus stops are located. The Calypso rooms are all in the preferred location room rate category. Jazz Inn buildings are the second closest buildings to the food court and surround the Piano Pool. Country Fair is the farthest building from Melody Hall, but may also be the quietest! Country Fair is about 3 tenths of a mile from the bus stop, less than a 5 minute walk. Parking surrounds the exterior of the buildings, so your car is conveniently near to all buildings.

Are connecting rooms available?

Yes, however, you must request connecting rooms when making your reservations. Connecting rooms are not guaranteed, but every effort will be made to honor your request. They will guarantee connecting rooms only if small children will be staying in the separate room without an adult. Make sure to explain this arrangement to your Disney Travel agent.

Will I be able to do laundry?

Yes - coin operated laundry facilities are located near both the Piano and Guitar pools. Coin operated washers are $2 per load. Dryers are $2 per load for 30 minutes. There is no option for any additional drying time except to insert another $2.00 for another 30 minutes. Detergents are available for purchase for $1.00 per load.

Are there safes in the rooms?

Yes, every room at the Disney's All Star Music resort has a key operated safe. The safe is small. Larger safekeeping boxes are available at the Front Desk. You will be charged a fee if you lose the safe key.

I want to stay in a quiet room, which building should I stay in?

Typically you do not hear significant exterior noise from the rooms, however, noise levels can vary. The All Stars attract many families with young children. In addition, the All Stars are favorites with tour groups, cheerleaders and dance competitors. To avoid noise, try requesting a room in either Jazz Inn or Country Fair, get a room on the third floor or request to face the small wooded areas.

What are the pools like?

There are two pools at Disney's All Star Music. The main pool located between the Calypso buildings is the Guitar Pool, so named for the shape it is. The Kiddie Pool is also located here. The Guitar Pool is not a zero entry pool. It has stairs used to enter on either end of the pool. The maximum water depth is 5 feet and the minimum is 3 feet. There is a squirting fountain on a raised island in the middle of this pool that features the characters from Disney's "The Three Caballeros".

The quieter pool is the Grand Piano Pool located between Rock Inn, Country Fair and Broadway. The Grand Piano Pool is also not a zero entry pool. It, too, has stairs to enter and exit on.

Both pools list their hours as 8:00 am to 12:00 midnight, but this may change depending on season. 

Life vests for youngsters may be checked out of the Arcade for the length of your stay. Diapered children are required to wear swim diapers or rubber pants.

Are there towels at the pool? What about hair wraps?

Disney's All Star Music Resorts do not provide towels at the pool. You must take the towel from your room. Housekeeping will bring additional towels, if you call and request it.

There is a hair wrapping station by the guitar pool. It opens early in the morning, normally around 9am. Sometimes there is an additional hair wrapping station located inside Melody Hall between the food court and the gift shop. Inquire at the Lobby Concierge Desk for hours and pricing.

Are there Hairdryers, Soap and Shampoo/Conditioner in the room?

Hairdryers are not included in each room, but are available upon request. Call Housekeeping to request a hair dryer. Disney's All Star Music has shampoo and body wash dispensers in all showers. You are provided with a small Mickey hand soap to use at the sink.

What other things might I want to know about the Disney's All Star Music resort? 

Rooms with one king sized bed or two double beds are available at the Disney's All Star Music resort. The king sized rooms are equipped for travelers with disabilities. As a result, the bathroom area is enlarged to allow wheelchair access. Therefore, the room area seems quite small. A crib will not fit comfortably in a king sized room.
Rooms are equipped with one sink and one mirror. The sink area is outside the bathroom. The one sink/one mirror can cause a logistical nightmare in the morning (especially is you are traveling with teenagers), so plan accordingly.
You are charged $.75 for each local call you make from your room. This $.75 charge is also charged for 800 number calls. You will not be charged for calling any location on Disney property. There is a substantial charge for making long distance calls.
Irons aren't standard in the rooms, but you can call housekeeping & request an iron & ironing board.

There are no Kids' Clubs at the All Star Resorts.
