Or would Jazz Inn, top floor be a better request?

Any advice for me regarding this resort? Requests I should make (other than king bed), etc.?

Thanks!

I would imagine that any building that isn't Calypso would be quieter. I would request Broadway, Country Fair, or Rock Inn. Obviously the further away from Melody Hall the quieter it will likely be. Calypso is preferred so as long as you book a standard room you won't end up here. Country Fair is an 8-10 minute walk to the Melody Hall.

I was in County Fair last October right behind the big boom box decoration. I was actually facing the parking lot not the pool second from the corner. I dind't find it very loud and it took me 3-5 minutes tops to get to the front of the resort.

I did hear the trucks going to the maintenance building one morning, but it wasn't any worse than the trash trucks in front of my house once a week.

The first time I went I was in a regular room in Calypso 10. It was facing the playground/garden about half way inbetween the pool and the parking lot. I didn't have any problem with noise there either. It was January so not prime pool whether but the resort was busy (tour group in the house). I thought it was fine.

No idea -- funny because just the other day I realized we should probably have kept track of them. Somehow I thought I'd never forget those numbers

But I can tell you it was on the first floor of jazz, the section pointing toward the parking lot, on the side furthest away from Melody Hall. We actually got that room because we requested a 1st floor room and a king room was all they could offer us.

Thanks for the help! Here's good vibes to hoping I can get a King with a tub....

Thinking about a stay at music in april it seems to be a good deal with the 30% off. This post has really helped me like music.we stayed at pop last time

We are booked for the beginning of August at ASMu. I have 15 year old boy/girl twins who can't share a bed (dd is a "busy sleeper".) We're bringing a single air mattress for ds. I know it will be tight but do you think we can fit it at the bottom of the first bed closest to the door? or anywhere else for that matter. If not, any alternative suggestions? I so wish they had bunk bed rooms at the value resorts.

Can't do it on this trip, only a value makes it doable.

What about in between the two beds. There should be a space between one of the beds and the wall so there will be room to get out of bed if needed.

You should do fine putting the mattress in between the bed and the door. Then just stand it up against the wall when not in use. It won't fit between the beds. Don't think it will go at the foot of the bed either.

Thanks! That was my original thought thinking back on our room at Pop several years ago but I was looking at pictures and getting nervous.

hopping aboard...frist visit to the Music resort coming up May 6th. We usually stay at a moderate resort and drive but this year we opted to fly and do a value resort instead....soooo looking forward to not having to drive 16 hours and also visiting the Music resort for the first time. Nice to meet all of you that keep this wonderful thread going. I will be hanging about here now until the vacation.

Some people think the only way to subscribe to a thread is to post, so they post with the "word" subbing. All they have to do is go to the top of the thread, click on thread tools then click Subscribe To This Thread.
