Disney's All-Star Music Resort Rooms

Accommodations are located in five pairs of three-story buildings, each adorned with larger than life musical icons playing homage to a range of musical genres, from country to rock n' roll.

Standard rooms are compact and basic but smartly designed for traveling families, with child-friendly features like rounded furniture corners and paper cups instead of the glass versions commonly provided in upper-level Disney properties. Décor matches the musical theme -- headboards, curtains and linens are decorated with stars and musical notes and wallpaper and border designs feature images of performers and musical greats throughout the ages.

Most standard rooms (260 square feet) contain two double beds and sleep up to four plus one crib sleeper under the age of 3. Each room contains a single vanity positioned outside the bathroom (compared to the two found in most moderate and deluxe Disney properties), a combination TV cabinet/bureau, a hair dryer, a table with chairs, an alarm clock and a wall safe. If you want a refrigerator (standalone), you can request one for a nightly fee. Coffee makers are not available. High-speed Internet access is available for a small fee. There is a surcharge per person per night for more than two adults in a standard room -- though honestly, more than a couple will stretch the limits physically as well as figuratively. Connecting rooms are available.

For larger parties, All-Star suites offer another attractive space-stretching solution. Created by merging two standard guestrooms, suites are 520 square feet and sleep up to six (including one crib sleeper under the age of 3), and are located in the Jazz and Calypso buildings close to Melody Hall.

In addition to a bathroom, a private bedroom contains a desk with a chair, an upholstered chair and a small dresser with a flat-screen TV and a queen-sized bed (compared to the double beds found in all other Value rooms), while a living room area doubles as another sleeping quarters, with a double-sized sleeper sofa and two single beds -- one which pulls out of a chair and the other a convertible ottoman set-up.

A kitchenette with a microwave, a mini refrigerator, a coffee maker and disposable dishware is located off the living area, and nearby, there's a second bathroom, providing added family appeal.

A single vanity is stationed outside the second bathroom, which makes getting ready in the morning easier for groups, and multiple shelves in the kitchenette create an atmosphere of order for larger families. A small table with two chairs provides limited seating for dining. For quick breakfasts and snacks, this shouldn't be an issue, but for families of four or more, finding suitable space for more extensive meals might get tricky.

In terms of suite sleeping arrangements, adults will be most comfortable in the bedroom, where a Pack 'n Play can be stationed for smaller children, while the pullout couch and convertible chairs in the living area are suitable for kids, but might be considered restrictive by larger or older travelers. Suites sleep up to six with no surcharge for adult occupants.

In standard rooms, an extra small fee per night for a preferred location will get you close to Melody Hall, the main pool and the bus stop in either the Jazz or Calypso block. If you want to be near the action and don't mind commotion, a pool-facing Calypso room should do the trick. Upper-level Jazz Inn rooms tend to be a little quieter, and might be a more attractive choice for those with napping babies and toddlers.

Guests of any category room can request complimentary bed rails and Pack n 'Plays, and high-speed Internet service is available in all accommodations.
