'''Disney's All-Star Music Resort''' is a music-themed value resort hotel at [[Walt Disney World]] in Florida. It opened on November 22, 1994, as the second of the three All-Star resorts, following [[Disney's All-Star Sports Resort]] earlier that year.<ref>{{cite web |title=Disney's All-Star Music Resort |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_All-Star_Music_Resort |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref> The resort is made up of 1,412 standard rooms and 192 family suites — 1,604 units in total — in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area, between All-Star Sports and [[Disney's All-Star Movies Resort]].

== History ==

All-Star Music formed the middle phase of the All-Star development, through which Disney entered the budget end of the Orlando hotel market with its own value category. As with its sisters, it was designed by the Miami architects Arquitectonica, who applied the same plan of three-storey, exterior-corridor buildings enlivened by giant icons, here drawn from popular music rather than sport or film.

The resort opened in stages. The Calypso section received the first guests on November 22, 1994, and the final section, Broadway Hotel, was completed on February 17, 1995. In 2006 All-Star Music became the first value resort to offer family suites, created in the Calypso and Jazz Inn sections by combining pairs of standard rooms into larger units sleeping up to six guests, with a kitchenette and two bathrooms. The experiment proved successful enough that family suites became a defining feature of the later [[Disney's Art of Animation Resort]].

Standard rooms were refurbished in the early 2020s, gaining queen beds, one of them a pull-down bed, along with refreshed decor in keeping with the musical theme.

== Theming and layout ==

Ten three-storey buildings are grouped into five pairs, each celebrating a musical genre. Calypso, nearest the main building, is marked by maracas, conga drums and a colourful xylophone. Jazz Inn uses saxophones, clarinets, a giant drum kit and silhouettes of musicians. Rock Inn is decorated with guitars, jukeboxes and records, Country Fair with cowboy boots, hats and banjos, and Broadway Hotel with theatre marquees, top hats and playbills recalling the musical stage shows of Broadway. The giant instruments serve as landmarks, making each section easy to identify from across the grounds.

Melody Hall, the central building, holds the lobby, food court, shop and arcade. The resort has two pools: the guitar-shaped Calypso Pool, the main pool, overlooked by figures of the Three Caballeros, and the grand piano-shaped Piano Pool in the Jazz Inn area, its keys forming the pool surround. Transport is by bus to the theme parks, water parks and [[Disney Springs]]; the All-Star resorts are not served by the [[Disney Skyliner]], monorail or boats.

== Dining and amenities ==

The Intermission Food Court in Melody Hall is the resort's only restaurant, a quick-service food court with multiple counters, and the Singing Spirits bar serves the Calypso Pool area. Note'Able Games arcade and the Maestro Mickey's shop are also in Melody Hall. Amenities otherwise follow the value-resort pattern of playgrounds, laundry facilities and jogging trails, without a table-service restaurant. The family suites remain the resort's distinguishing offer among the All-Star hotels, giving larger groups a lower-priced alternative to booking two separate rooms at [[Disney's Pop Century Resort]] or a suite at Art of Animation.
