Say it ain't so (about ASMo)

[Jordan's MOM]

We loved the ASMo and we did stay in the prefered building on our last trip this past JanuaryThe extra money was worth it as we loved being so close to the main building. We were in the end room closest to the main building on the second floor facing the pool. We did hear a lot of pool noise at night and this was Jaunary. We are however, very early to bed and first in the parks type of people. The noise died down by 10 or so but I expect it would be latter in the Summer. I agree that I would request a room that does not face the pool if noise will bother your family getting to sleep. This was not a big isssue for us and we do love the resort. You 2year old will love the toddler squirt pool.

We have stayed in both the Fantasia and Toy Story buildings while at WDW. We were poolside, closest to the pool area and we experienced absolutely no noise. This is our favorite all-star resort. Have a great trip.

We staying in Dalmations and the room was fine. We were facing away from the pool area, so didn't hear noise from that (and I don't recall hearing toilets or showers either).

The resort was full of Pop Warner football teams and cheerleading squads. The pool area & food court was chaos whenever we dared venture over.

I cannot imagine that the rooms overlooking the pool area were very quiet.

We've stayed at the ASMo 2x this year and no noise. Not even anyone's turbo toilets keeping me up. We actually put our 14mon. old's pack-n-play under the window to sleep (we had connecting rooms and really couldn't find another good spot). She slept like a baby. We've stayed in Fantasia and Toy Story Bldgs. The only noise was at Toy Story and it was because we were toward the end of the building, close to the parking lot, and there were a bunch of birds down there chirping (LOUD) all night for the first two nights. But no one can help that. Have a great vacation. We love ASMo!

I have stayed at the All Stars quite a few times in rooms facing the pool, the woods, 1st fl, 3 rd fl., etc and I have never been bothered by any noise and I am a very light sleeper.

We stayed at ASMo in the Toy Story section, 3rd floor facing Andy's bedroom. It was NOISY until 12:30-1am every night. There were kids playing, yelling and screaming until all hours. Being jolted awake by a screaming toddler one time is enough for me to say NO ALL STARS EVER again for our family.

I have stayed at All Star Sports 5 years in a row, and have been in ALMOST every building, except 7,8,9 & 10! This past June I stayed in All Star Music, on the second floor, and found it to be VERY NOISY as far as Toilets Flushing! Sports, I stayed in Building 2 (basketball) on the second floor, ALL the way at the end, only one person on one side. It was VERY QUIET! I also had a view of a canal. I think Movies is the quietest, because I slept like a baby there in 1999!

I have never had any problem with noise at the All Stars. Actually we found the corridor noise at AKL to be much worse because the hallway tended to echo the noise very loudly. We too were there when the cheerleading competition was on, and noise was never an issue .. actually my only complaint about them was how they stood in large groups in front of the drink islands discussing with each other whether they should have diet or regular coke. For those of us who knew what we wanted, we politely excused ourselves in front of them saying that we would just help ourselves while they made their decision (lol). And for the record, we split our stay the last time at ASMu and AKL ... after reading these boards, I purposely made mental notes of the "turbo toilets" at ASMU before heading over to AKL -- I should have videotaped it so I'd have concrete proof ... the toilets are exactly the same !!! The All Stars are always getting a bad rep -- as for those who really hate them, I'm grateful that they won't be there complaining when I'm there 'cause we really love the All Stars.

There are turbo toilets in the Wilderness Lodge, as well, and we never heard them... Maybe it is not the toilet, but the grade of insulation between the rooms in a deluxe resort vs a value resort?

I think you are at the mercy of your neighbors, regardless of the resort you stay at. I stayed at the All Stars 3 times. 2 of the 3 were quiet. The 3rd time we had unsupervised teens running up and down the sidewalks late at night. Argh! I've stayed at Riverside 6+ times and rarely heard my neighbors. This past week I heard the child upstairs briefly, but fortunately he/she liked to sleep! I did hear the toilet quite clearly. At POFQ our neighbors moved into the resort at 1 AM - Argh!!! Didn't have any noise at AKL, WL, Contemporary or Coronado. Just as a side note, of the 5 cruises I've been on I only had bad neighbors once and boy, were they BAD neighbors!!

We stayed 2 nights in Jan. and the toilets were loud. I think you are right eeyore0062, because they have turbo toilets at the Polynesian and I could never hear my neighbors flush their toilets. What we did hear at the Polynesian were kids running up and down the hall and that can be rather annoying. We always travel with a sound machine

We stayed in the Toy Story section - Buzz building on the bottom floor facing the parking lot... we had no problem whatsoever with noise. We were there Easter 2002 and it was packed but we never were kept up by the noise and we are light sleepers!

Hope you enjoy your trip!

All star music reminded me a lot of staying in a dorm room, except it didn't smell as bad.
