All Star Music FAQ thread and tips - Page 5 - The DIS Discussion Forums

My sister and I discovered the wonders of WDW in 2005...came back in May 2007 and decided to come back again in the beginning of Oct for the Int Food & Wine Fest. However, this will be our first time staying on property. We will be staying at ASMu (we're so excited), and we were wondering when does Melody Hall open (we're early risers), and when the first busses come for parks? Thanks for any info you can give!

refill station and bakery goods from 0630hrs, the hot foods from 0700hrs,(being scottish, the time difference kills us to begin with so I tend to be up and around by 5am EST lol ) and the buses operate from 1 hour before park opening, but there are additional buses to MK for example for the 0800hrs onwards dining guests.

Thank you so much, Val!!! I know how you feel about being an early riser except I don't have the excuse of time differences. I'm from the EST zone and I almost always wake up at 5:30am with no help from an alarm clock. My family hates me, LOL! Thanks again!!!

10 more days until ASMu.

We have been to POP, CSR, POR so this is a first time at AS. I love this thread and it makes me happy we chose to stay here.

Have any of you stayed at moderates before your All Star Music stay? How do you compare it?

I stayed at DVC all the time before my Asmu stay and Pop stay! Of course the rooms do not compare but the rooms were very nice and clean and themeing was great! We loved both ASMU and POP! You cannot compare a value to a mod or deluxe thats why there are values mods and deluxes! If I had to pay I would stay at a value before a mod because the themeing is so fun and the kids love it! Actually in Feb we are staying at POR because it was cheaper than ASMU Suites but I am rethinking it and may call and change to ASMU suites! I loved it there! It's all about the themeing!

No unfortunately no frozen coke at ASMU yet! It was only at Pop!

Yes, it's by the main pool and the food court. I can't remember what it's called.

HI! I haven't been to MVMCP, but I will be there the same time as you are

We arrive 11/26 and return home 12/5!

Does anyone know which section or group of rooms we should ask for to get
1) Quiet...no pools
2) Views...of anything? I originally asked about views of the fireworks from the parks, but the friend's we are going with are maniacs!!! We will be at the parks from open to close, including every hour of EMH

dawgfan · 09-08-2007, 08:44 AM

We stayed at the Country Fair building and it was EXTREMELY quiet...except for the occasional vacuum flush toilet sound. This building is so far away from the main pool and the main building that it really is very quiet. The flip side is that you have a walk to deal with. We went theme park commando much like your friends sound. We simply walked to the parking lot each morning and drove up front to the main building for busses. Sounds like a pain but it really is not. There really is no "view" worth worrying about at ASMU in my opinion. To my knowledge there is no fireworks show that can be viewed at ASMu. I have stayed there twice.

Does anyone know if all buildings at the ASMu have KING SIZE BEDROOMS? I have placed a request for a KING room in the jazz building and they didnt say anything so my guess is there are?
