Just got back last night and thought I should share my thoughts and opinions as I noticed the value resorts seem to get a lot of hate. We absolutely LOVED our stay at Disney’s All Star Music Resort in the Jazz Inn building. There were three adults, one teen, and one child so we were in a family suite, which happened to have plenty of room for the five of us.
We stayed from May 10 - May 16 and only have one tiny complaint and that was of housekeeping. I already knew before going that they came around every other day but they didn't really do much other than take our trash and trade out the used towels for clean ones. But one day my mom decided to walk to the lobby and ask about an extra blanket and they were very accommodating and offered to replenish anything else needed.
We only ate at the resort's dining hall one time and the food was pretty blah, but we had been eating at the parks all week and feel like that had probably spoiled us.
The main pool area was very nice and had plenty of activities for my kids. We didn’t really make use of it though, as we spent most of our time in the parks. We didn't really explore our resort but were very pleased that our walks to the bus stop and lobby were very short.
Bus transportation was wonderful – absolutely no complaints here - and we seemed to hit the bus stop at the perfect time each morning as we never waited more than 5 minutes for one to arrive. Every bus driver we had was super friendly and they all had excellent driving. We did, however, get a Minnie Van to leave Magic Kingdom as the bus station was very chaotic.
This was our very first stay in the Disney bubble and really feel like we will stay value again next year. Every cast member we came across was super friendly and helpful. Would give this place more stars if I could!!!
