Back from Mini-Vacation @ ASMU - - Loved It!!

[Eeyore's My Favorite]

Just back this afternoon from a mini-vacation at AllStar Music & absolutely loved it. We hadn't been there in forever but I'm so glad we changed there after our not so magical experience at Pop in September. Check in was a breeze on Monday (MLK Day), got the perfect room - standard in the Jazz Building (9). Closer to the food court & busses than our Preferred room was at POP. Nice quiet location - end room near parking lot - ground floor. I couldn't have chosen a better room for DH & I if I'd walked around looking....

Lots of activities going on all the time around the main pool. They had a dance contest going one night, BINGO, and they were showing movies out at the pool last night. This was something new for us to see & it was great.

Our room was refurbished and we loved the curtain across the sink area in the room. It really did make a difference. We were able to peek in the window of an unoccupied family suite near us & those looked interesting too.

Our only downside the whole time we were there was the family next to us coming in after 10pm last night & their kids screaming to be let into the room. Then this morning between 5am & 6am they decided to flip the lock out so that they didn't have to use a key & constantly slammed their door. Granted I wanted to get to the MK early this morning, but not that early!!

All in all, I'd definitely recommend this resort to anyone that wants a quieter value resort than POP. We had no trouble with the bus transportation any day. They were very quick & only packed one morning going to the Animal Kingdom & we went to all 4 parks while we were there. Food court was great & so was the shopping area.

Can't wait to go again..................

To get the great room location did you make a request at check-in or beforehand?

If you did make a request, what were your request(s)?

Thank you

I actually didn't make any special request for our room. When we arrived I asked what was available in the Jazz building as I'd read on the disboards which were the best buildings & just lucked out!!

Yea!! I am so happy to read this thread. I've book ASMu for my next Sept. trip because I too was unhappy at Pop last Sept. So glad to hear it will be quieter!

Thanks so much for the review! We're in the midst of planning our trip in December and we're most likely going to do a family suite at ASMu.

Thanks for the review. We are staying at ASMu for the first time in August. One of the deciding factors for me was the refurbished rooms. I also hope that will still have the outside activities for kids.

Glad you enjoyed it! With all the games going on, I thought another dad was a CM, but everyone was getting in on the fun.

We just lucked out and got Jazz as well. I think it's a good one to request.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at All Star Music.

We have stayed at all levels of Disney resorts (with the exception of the DVC)
and we have always enjoyed the the friendliess of the staff and the guests at All Star Music.

It has become one of our favorite resorts!
