ASSports vs ASMusic

[leebee]

I'm traveling solo in November, staying at AllStarMusic in a standard room (as of right now). I'm considering upgrading to preferred. How "long" a walk is it from the lobby to a room in the Jazz buildings as compared to the walk from lobby to a standard room at AllStarSports? I'm hoping to minimize the walking distance as I tend to stay at DS until that last bus back to AllStar, and it can be a long, dark walk through ASMu to rooms in Broadway or Rock Inn. However, I don't want to pay for preferred at ASMu and end up in Jazz, if the standard rooms at ASSp are the same distance from the lobby.

I can't definitively answer your question, but I've stayed at both resorts. I've stayed at ASMU 3 times, and have always ended up in the Broadway section. I love the theming, but the linear layout of Music makes it seem like a very long (and dark) walk. I've stayed at Sports more times than I can count, and have never felt like the walk to standard rooms is bad.
I stayed at Sports for 1 night in April before moving to Pop and I was in building 9 in the Homerun section. My room was on the end closest to building 8 and I felt like it was not a bad walk at all. You're walking past the "football field" and the baseball field pool, and it was very well lit.

Exactly as you said...we consider Music our home resort but the linear layout is difficult for a lot of people.

Keep in mind that part of Jazz is also considered preferred so the standard rooms in Jazz are much closer to the piano pool than the food court. If walking distance is an issue. you should book preferred at Music or at Sports. But the Mighty Ducks section of Sports is very very close to the food court at Music

I always like to book preferred when I'm solo or just with my young daughter. The longer walks at night creep me out a bit. I like Sports preferred over Music, it feels like a closer walk and seems like there are always more people around.
