All Start Music Family Suites

[LBAK]

I'm just wondering has anybody stayed there and what the reviews are. I am hoping to book a trip in August with me, DH, DD12 and my MIL. Hmmm....should be interesting. We have the 40% code and I'm just wondering if this is the way to go. Frugal me says this idea or 2 rooms at POP. DH wants 2 rooms at POFQ. Any suggestions?

I called and had the 40% code and asked about the A/S Suite but there was no availability for my dates: Aug 10-17, so we booked 2 rooms at Pop for $49 a night for each room (before taxes).

if it's in your budget I would go with 2 rooms at POFQ it's a smaller resort, and the buses are much better than music or pop.

I was alot younger when I stayed at All Star but i don't remember transportation ever being a problem.

Family Suite info;

DH and I stayed in a Family Suite at All Star Music ( a value resort) in Sept. of 2006.

We really enjoyed the Queen size bed, the kitchenette with the microwave, having a sofa and cushioned chair to sit on and relax after a day at the parks before retiring for the evening.

I thought the pullouts very comfortable.

They are designed so the back cushion and seat cushion of the pullout support the pullout. There is no metal bar to hurt the sleepers back.

Info thread--Pullouts in Family Suites at ASMU with photos of how the pullout is supported.

Here is the layout of the Family Suites:

They:

-Sleep up to 6 (plus one child under age 3 in a Pak-n-Play crib)
-Studio amenities and separate sleeping areas giving more privacy than a standard room.
-Queen bed, full-size pullout sofa, convertible ottoman & chair sleepers (4 separate sleepers)
-Private master bedroom and family room have 27” flat CRT TV and high speed Internet access.
-Kitchenette with microwave, small refrigerator (4.3 cu. ft) and coffee pot
-Two-full bathrooms


Here is my review of the Suites:

We stayed in the Family suites w/ 2 big teens 16(girl) & 17(boy) and a 7 year old. No problem sleeping on the pull-outs. We liked it better than 2 rooms for a few reasons: privacy for parents, couch and chairs to hang out on or watch tv, kitchen area. The kitchen was very nice for leftovers, snacks and drinks. We pulled the coffee table over to the table and had seating for 4 to eat. Walking to the food court for breakfast and bringing it back was our version of room service! Between the bedroom, kitchen and living room there is a lot of space to put 'stuff'. I would really prefer a family suite over 2 rooms for a longer stay.
