Bottom Line: The only All-Star resort with family suites — a genuine budget win for larger groups. Trade-off is bus-only transport and basic rooms.
Disney's All-Star Music Resort is one of three All-Star resorts on Disney property — but it stands apart thanks to one huge advantage: family suites. While All-Star Sports and Movies offer only standard rooms, Music has suites that sleep 6 guests and include a kitchenette. For larger families, that changes the entire budget equation.
The resort is themed around five musical genres — Broadway, Calypso, Country, Jazz, and Rock — each brought to life with enormous instruments and musical icons. Giant guitar buildings, oversized piano keyboards, massive cowboy boots, and flamboyant Broadway marquees make every corner a photo opportunity.
What you get: clean budget accommodation, all standard Disney perks (Magic Bands, Early Theme Park Entry, complimentary transportation), fun musical theming, and family suite options you won't find at the other All-Star resorts. What you don't get: monorail access, table-service dining, or the luxury amenities of Deluxe Resorts.
Families of 5–6 who need more than a standard room, groups traveling together, budget-conscious families who still want Disney magic.
Energetic, musical, colorful. Young families, groups, budget travelers. The Guitar Pool and Broadway-themed buildings create an atmosphere that feels playful and fun without being overwhelming.
Only All-Star with family suites. If you have 5–6 people, this beats booking two standard rooms almost every time.
Size: ~260 sq ft
Layout: Two double beds, one bathroom, compact sitting area, flat-screen TV
Amenities: Coffee maker, mini-fridge, AC, free WiFi, Disney+
Price: $110–$155/night (value season) to $200–$280/night (peak)
💡 Tip: Standard rooms are the furthest from the main building. Request the Broadway or Calypso sections for shorter walks to the food court and buses.
Size: ~260 sq ft (identical to Standard)
Location: Closer to Intermission Food Court, the Guitar Pool, and the bus transportation hub
Key Advantage: On a large resort property, location matters. The Preferred upgrade typically adds 5–10 minutes of walking time saved per day.
Price: $15–$35/night premium over Standard
💡 Tip: Request the Jazz Inn Preferred rooms if you want the quietest location. It's near the smaller Piano Pool with fewer crowds.
Size: ~520 sq ft — twice the space of a standard room
Layout: Master bedroom (queen bed) + separate living/sleeping area (two pull-down queen beds), kitchenette, two separate bathroom areas (one full bath + vanity area)
Kitchenette includes: Microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker, sink — great for breakfast prep and snacks
Price: $280–$380/night (value season) to $450–$550/night (peak)
Two standard rooms for 6 people = $220–$310/night (value season). One family suite = $280–$380/night. You pay a bit more but get: twice the space, a kitchenette that saves money on meals, two bathroom areas, and everyone under one roof. For 5–6 person families, suites almost always win.
Five distinct musical neighborhoods, each with larger-than-life sculptures and décor that celebrates its genre.
Theme: Broadway musicals and theatrical glamour
Features: Giant theater marquees, showbiz icons, dramatic lighting, oversized musical theater imagery
Best location for proximity to main building and buses.

Features: Vibrant tropical colors, steel drums, palm tree theming, energetic Caribbean motifs
Closest section to the Guitar Pool — ideal for pool lovers.
Theme: Country music and Americana
Features: Enormous cowboy boots, hay bales, fiddles, country fair atmosphere, rustic signage
The oversized cowboy boots are an iconic photo op.
Theme: Jazz music — the most peaceful section
Features: Piano-themed architecture, musical note motifs, New Orleans-inspired design
Home of the smaller Piano Pool. Quietest, least crowded area — best for light sleepers.
Theme: Rock and roll
Features: Giant electric guitars, rock iconography, electric energy, classic rock imagery
The enormous guitar sculptures are the resort's most photographed feature.
Location: Near Calypso section
Features: Main resort pool shaped like a guitar, water slide, pool bar, poolside activities
Most energetic pool — great for kids. Arrive early or evening for shorter waits.
The main dining hub with multiple food stations. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Budget $12–$18 per adult per meal.
Poolside bar near the Guitar Pool serving beer, cocktails, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Light snacks available. Great for an afternoon refreshment between park days.
The Big Event: The resort's signature pool is shaped like a giant guitar. Lively atmosphere with a water slide, pool activities, and the Singing Spirits bar nearby.
Vibe: Busy, energetic, family-friendly. This is where the resort's social energy lives. Best for active families.
Best Time: Early morning (9–11 AM) or evening (6 PM+) to avoid the mid-afternoon rush.
The Calm Zone: Smaller, quieter pool in the Jazz Inn section. Less crowded than the Guitar Pool, ideal for relaxation.
Vibe: Peaceful, fewer families with young children, good for adults or those who prefer a quieter swim.
Best For: Parents who want a break while kids nap, early morning laps, guests staying in Jazz Inn section.
Nightly outdoor movie screenings (weather permitting) near the Guitar Pool. Family-friendly Disney films projected outdoors.
What to Bring: Blanket, light jacket, snacks (available for purchase). Check the resort schedule at check-in.
A beloved free activity that many guests rate as a highlight of their stay.
All-Star Music relies exclusively on Disney bus transportation. This is the main trade-off vs. Pop Century and Art of Animation, both of which have Skyliner access.
Request a room near the main transportation hub (Broadway or Calypso sections). Use Early Theme Park Entry to board buses 30+ minutes before official park opening. Late-evening return buses are usually less crowded than the park-closing rush.
Ratings reflect value-resort category. Family Suite value score is especially high for groups of 5–6.
| Season | Standard Room | Preferred Room | Family Suite | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value Jan, May–Aug |
$110–$155 | $130–$175 | $280–$380 | Off-season trips |
| Regular Sep–Nov, Feb–Apr |
$155–$220 | $175–$245 | $380–$460 | Moderate crowds |
| Peak Dec, Spring Break, Holidays |
$220–$300 | $245–$330 | $460–$560 | Plan well ahead |
Two standard rooms in value season = ~$220–$310/night for 6 people. One family suite = $280–$380/night. The suite costs more, but you get double the space, a kitchenette, two bathroom areas, and everyone in one room. For families of 5–6, the suite nearly always wins on value and convenience.
If you have 5–6 people, do the math before booking two standard rooms anywhere. The family suite here often costs less per person and includes a kitchenette — the secret budget weapon.
Jazz Inn is the most peaceful section of the resort. Near the smaller Piano Pool, further from the Guitar Pool energy. Great for families with young kids or guests who need early bedtimes.
Take an evening walk around the resort property. The giant musical instruments are illuminated beautifully at night — especially the Country Fair boots and Rock Inn guitars. A free, magical experience.
Use the My Disney Experience app to place mobile orders at Intermission Food Court. Skip the line entirely. Especially useful when returning from parks in the evening.
Buses fill up fast at 7–8 AM and get crowded at park closing. Arrive at the bus stop 20–30 minutes early for morning park runs. For late-night returns, wait 20–30 minutes after park closing for the crowd to thin.
Order grocery delivery (Amazon Fresh, Instacart) to stock your suite kitchenette. Breakfast prep — cereal, fruit, yogurt, coffee — saves $30–$60/day for a family of 6. That's real money over a 5-night trip.
Free nightly outdoor movies near the Guitar Pool. Great for relaxing evenings after long park days. Grab a snack from the pool bar and settle in. The popcorn is worth it.
Giant guitars, cowboy boots, Broadway marquees — this resort is photogenic. Early morning (before guests arrive at the pools) gives the cleanest, crowd-free shots around the oversized icons.
AP holders often get 20–35% off value resort rooms. At an already low base rate, All-Star Music with an AP discount can drop to $70–$100/night — exceptional value for on-property Disney stays.
The only All-Star resort with family suites — the smart budget pick for larger families and groups wanting Disney magic without Deluxe pricing.
