Nice hotel, pretty grounds,rooms were typical average hotel rooms. Pool closes too early,and avoid the rooms located at the far back of the resort,the walk is way too long,and I don't mind walking. Didn't feel comforatbel walking all the way back on my own at night.
Pros:
Pretty landscaping,areas to relax and enjoy it.Cons:
Resort too spread out, rooms way out in back were too far and isolated to be a good idea. Avoid that section.Reviewed by DisneyDana Review Date: 09/29/2018

We had a nice stay at the All Star Music resort. The resort is very clean and the staff is friendly. I wish I had known that you could request a new mattress because the worst part of my stay was a lumpy squeaky mattress that had seen better days. Every once in a while we like to stay on property just for something different but for the price there are much nicer rooms with much more space and comfort just off property. It all depends on whether you need to be in the "bubble" or not.
Pros:
Being on property and 24/7 magic, very clean and very safe feeling.Cons:
Small rooms, basic amenities for the money, looong wait for busses.Reviewed by auntiekeiki Review Date: 09/27/2018

I have had to opportunity to stay here on multiple occasions. I love that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to stay here. I love the big pool and the activities planned at the pool. I don't love the screaming kids that run past your room while you are trying to sleep. I don't love the packed out buses. I also don't love that this resort always seems to have lots of tour groups, HS groups, etc.
Pros:
Affordable Cute themeingCons:
Very noisy Lots of tour groups, high school groups, etc.Reviewed by DisneyDana Review Date: 10/07/2017

My best friend and I were excited to stay on property since we usually try to cut costs and the first thing to go is the hotel stay. Even in the value resorts it typically costs close to 3 times as much as we pay for a much nicer room off property so we don't do it often. In my opinion a $120 room should feel at least a slight bit cushy.
I will say that we adore the layout and the theme of ASM and we enjoyed being immersed in the Disney bubble. The cast members were very friendly and our room was always cleaned very well. My biggest problem was with the beds. My bed creaked and thumped every time I got up and there was a huge dip in the middle. It felt like I was at grandma's house in the spare room lol. I didn't realize that I could have complained and they would have changed out the mattress until I got home and someone told me. That just sounded like I would be asking too much but Disney does go above and beyond.
We had asked for a room on the top floor in the Broadway section and got just what we asked for. It was very quiet there and we heard no noise from anyone around us. The rooms had everything you would need even if a bit smaller than your usual hotel room. The carpet needed replacing badly and this was the first time I have seen an area of Disney that was in need of a refurb. Usually everything on property looks new. Hopefully they'll get to that soon. All in all, we both decided that a value wasn't a good way to spend our money and that we would both rather stay off property if we were spending $120 a night and have a much more comfortable place to sleep and not have to bring my own coffee pot. For that price just outside the gates you can get a pretty luxurious room. Disney really needs to rethink what value means. Back in the day these rooms would be a value at $69 to $89 but those days seem long gone as we travel in the off season and it's well over $100. This type of room should max out at $79.
Pros:
Cute theme, on propertyCons:
pricey for what you get, very uncomfortable bedsReviewed by MamaBadger Review Date: 06/14/2022

Not so fancy but still fantastic. This is a solid hotel with clean nice rooms. Great for smaller families or solo trips. The food was nothing to write home (or AllEars) about.
Pros:
PriceCons:
Distance to the bus stop...hot tip take the bus to All Star Sports and walk across the parking lot to access the farthest buildings.Reviewed by TeacherManJoe Review Date: 05/31/2022

I have stayed in all of the All-Star locations over the years for one trip or another and so this review applies to Music, Movies, and Sports.
Look here, buckos! Are the All-Star Resorts the most amazing and luxurious resorts you will have ever stayed in? No, most definitely not. However, as the most value-centric locations on property, they are meant to be exactly that: VALUES.
Many people compare the All-Star Resorts to Disney World Motel6. However, as someone who has stayed in many a Motel6 in my time, that is NOT the case.
The All-Stars are simplistic, themed cheesily, and have just the basics in terms of food options. However, all of that is exactly why you pay the low price to stay here! The rooms are largely pretty well-maintained (especially with the recent room refurbs), are a decent enough size, and the food options do just what you need them to: sustain you.
I have stayed here as a child, as a high schooler, and as an adult, and have enjoyed each experience. If you are like us and prefer to spend as much time in the parks as possible and just have a decent place to lay your head until you go to the next park bright and early the next day, then the All-Stars do exactly what you need them to do.
Now, I will say that if possible, we prefer to stay at Pop Century over the All-Star resorts for the sole reason of the Skyliner. However, for a price that lets be honest is not really any higher than many hotels in most places around the country these days (I once stayed in an Econo Lodge that was legitimately concerning for a similar price as a night at the All-Stars), these resorts do the job.
Pros:
Value price for a well-maintained resort Still on property so still get Disney theming Great place to lay your head in between park days New refurbs freshen up the roomsCons:
Amenities are a bit limited (though you can’t expect too much!) These CAN get a bit loud/crowded around school/band trip seasonsReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 08/30/2021

This hotel was more than what I expected. My family went in August 2019 with the outdated room theming. Thankfully they have updated the rooms recently, or I would’ve given a 5 star. We stayed in the Jazz section, but definitely pay the extra $$$ for a preferred room, as it can be a hike from the front to your hotel room. The buses can be extremely slow and can be packed before they get to you. Also, be prepared to wait a long time to be picked up at one of the theme parks. I mean, a long time! It might be worth Ubering a few times especially if kids are tired, hungry, hot, etc.
Pros:
The priceCons:
Slow buses, not enough food options, huge layoutReviewed by mtaylor Review Date: 08/04/2021

This is a nice value resort - I prefer the movies resort just for the theming aspect, but I have no major complaints about the music resort. The value resorts get a bad rap in general if you ask me, but I think they're a great choice for anyone trying to save a few bucks on a Disney stay (especially families!)
Pros:
Theming isn't over-the-top Disney (could be a con for families but nice for couples)Cons:
Far away from everything in WDW, no good dining optionsReviewed by KarenGuerra Review Date: 03/25/2021

My aunt and went without children and stayed at All-Star Music. I thought that the resort was very clean and up-to-date. Before staying at the Music, I had hear that it can become very noisy because of the amount of large groups that stay there. I didn't notice any excess noise at all. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't hear any loud noise or running down the halls past my room late at night. Its very important to get a good nights rest after a long day at the parks and when you have to gear up for another long day! I would definitely stay at another All-Star's Resort just based on value alone!
Pros:
Value, Disney-themed all over, up-beat ambiance, clean, not too large of a resort, okay pools, great cupcakes!Cons:

I have started at All Star Music a number of times and a few times have been more than a week. I have always enjoyed it my time.
