Overview
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is a Value Resort in Walt Disney World, meaning that it is among the cheapest hotels on property. The hotel is themed to highlight – you guessed it – music! It is separated into five different sections themed after music genres including country, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, calypso, and Broadway-style show tunes. It’ll be pretty obvious which section you’re in because each is lined with larger-than-life billboards, music icons, and more.
The hotel is one of three All-Star Resorts that are all connected, but the thing that makes it stand out among the rest is the family suites offering. Unlike most standard Disney hotel rooms, these suites feature 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, and sleep up to 6 people – all at a more affordable rate. These suites, along with all the other rooms at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort were updated with a new and improved look and new furnishings when it reopened to guests in 2021.

Where To Eat
Quick Service
Intermission Food Court – Intermission Food Court is the only dining option at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort and it is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food-court-style service features multiple stations with different food options, a bakery, and a cooler area where you can find things like water, milk, and juice. Keep in mind that the quick service restaurant can get busy during popular meal times since there are no other dining options at the resort.
Lounges & Bars
Singing Spirits Pool Bar – The Singing Spirits Pool Bar can be found at All-Star Music Resort’s main pool – Calypso Pool. There’s nothing all too special about the atmosphere here, but it’s still a great place to grab a drink. It is a full-service bar serving up classic Disney cocktails, sangria, beer, and wine.
Things To Do
- Pools – there are two pools at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort including the Calypso Pool (which is the largest pool and is shaped like a guitar), and the Piano Pool (which is smaller and located near the Country Fair section of the resort).

Overnight Parking Fee
Overnight self-parking is free for guests staying at any Disney World Resort hotel. Valet parking is available for an additional cost of $33 per night (sales tax included).
Pros
- The larger-than-life decor makes for great photo ops and a super immersive Disney stay.
- If you’re planning to spend all your time at the theme parks, then All-Star Music provides you with all the necessary basics at a cheaper rate than other hotels across property.
Cons
- There’s only one bus stop per park and lots of people stay at the value hotel so lines can get pretty long if you’re traveling to and from the parks – especially in the morning for park opens and at night when the park closes.
- There’s only one place to eat at the hotel and it can get very busy, especially in the morning and other popular meal times.
- It’s a big resort and it’s one of the cheapest, so you can expect crowds at the pool, food court (as mentioned above), and generally around the hotel. This also can mean that you’ll hear more noise outside of your room.
