    Ever receive a room upgrade?

    Our last visit, February, 2020, we had requested the Calypso section at AS Music like we do every year. My wife is wheelchair bound and I am no spring chicken any longer (69) so the closer the rooms are to the front the easier on me. We were told that Calypso was full. The asst. mgr. came out...

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    My wife and I have stayed at AS Music every year since 2009 (sorry-not been the past 2 years. Damn covid) We have been there for cheerleading, band and football. We have always stayed in the preferred section across from the guitar pool. Never had a bad nights sleep.

    starting to plan!

    You are so smart to plan for 2 weeks. It will give you time to truly enjoy the parks. I have been 12 times and still see new things every visit. Take it slow and enjoy the experience and the magic. Rides are nice but they do not make or break the visit. My wife and I love sitting and...

    Tell me ONE thing you do every trip!

    My wife and I have traveled down to WDW since 1986 and we always finish every trip by walking through the Magic Kingdom on our last day. We stand in front of the Train Station as we are leaving, hug each other while facing the Castle and thank Walt for his dream. With tears in our eyes we...

    Best Character Dining

    At that age, the 3 year old will probably be under the table or in your arms. The 1 year old won't even be aware. Our experience with our children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren is that they have loved dining at Park Fare more than any other character meal, and we have done them...

    What are your all-time top favorite Disney resorts?

    As a matter of fact, before covid struck which was our last trip (February-2021), we spent a week in the Suites at Music. Just my wife and myself. She says the beds were the most comfortable she ever had and slept like a baby. It was nice having the two bathrooms and all the extra room...

    What are your all-time top favorite Disney resorts?

    My wife and I have traveled to WDW every year since 2009. We go for the purpose to escape the world we live in and to insert ourselves into the Magic that only Disney can deliver. We are both now in our late 60's and we love the whole experience that Disney can offer. Because of that, we stay...

    What is mobile order?

    Thank you for your response and your concern for our future visits. My children, grandchildren and now the great grandchildren are always trying to get me "hooked up" as they call it by encouraging me to get a cell, but I have made it this long without. I travel down to WDW every year with my...

    What is mobile order?

    I always stay at AS Music (every year since 2009) and was looking a the menu today and it show that breakfast is Mobile Order. Does that mean I cannot get in line for my Bounty Breakfast? Does it mean I can only text or call in my breakfast order? I do not have a cell phone and have never...

    Swimming in the Winter

    First of all, I am from Michigan. Second, it's not a trip to WDW unless we go swimming in the pools every afternoon. Our last trip in December we had sunny days and low 70's temperatures. (it was 10 below when we left Michigan) We were the only ones in the pool but I can tell you it was...

    Well, I did it and I feel terrible about it.

    Hi. I 'm the original OP for this chat. I agree with everything you said except for one thing. For those who do not know their way around the parks, apps may be the Hi. I'm the OP for this chat. I agree with everything you said except for my point of view. Yes, having an app if you are...

    Well, I did it and I feel terrible about it.

    Thank you. I didn't realize I was concentrating on technology. I guess I was trying to vent my frustration on the cut backs, the loss of perks, the need to utilize technology rather than just not. I have read replies that told me to get a phone and utilize a porter and hire a cab, and, and...

    Well, I did it and I feel terrible about it.

    Well I did it. My wife and I have decided not to resume our annual trip to WDW next February due to the myriad of changes we have seen that now exist at our favorite place and we feel sick about it. My biggest complaint is the need to make a reservation for a park. I talked to a Disney Rep...

    What they've taken away

    My biggest complaint is the right to determine which park I wish to see in the morning hours without having a reservation. My wife and I are I our 60's and we have been regular visitors since 2009. We never know what park we are attending each morning until after breakfast and we then decide...

    Port Orlands vs All-star Music resort

    My wife and I have stayed at AS Music every year since 2009. We love Music but we use it only for sleeping at night and breakfast in the morning. I can afford better but basically all I am looking for is a clean place to rest my head at night. If you are looking for more and don't mind...

    I’m staying at All Star Music Resort!!

    My understanding is that the suites are located in the front buildings and those were the first ones done. I stayed in a refurbished suite back in February, 2020.

    I’m staying at All Star Music Resort!!

    I am so jealous. I will be at AS Music in 226 days. It has been our go to resort since 2009. When you check in say hi to Sibil. Tell her Pete and Linda say hi. We stayed in the newly refurbished suite back in February, 2020 and loved it.

    Which All star resort is better & why?

    You are so correct. My wife and I have stayed at Music every year since 2009, twice in 2013, and we are over the moon right now seeing that they have announced the re-opening of music in September. I love Music because of the staff. They are great. We stay there so often we know the staff...

    All Star Music is coming back

    Found out today AS Music re-opens on September 16th, 2021. Can you see the smile on my face? I'll be counting down the days for our next February trip starting today with this news. I Love AS Music, mostly because of the staff (Hi Sibil and everyone else). They have treated my wife and I...
