Disney's All-Star Music Resort is a hotel within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It belongs to the Value Resort category, alongside Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort, and Disney's Art of Animation Resort. Positioned in the southern part of the Walt Disney World property, near Disney's Animal Kingdom, the resort spans 1,412 rooms and includes 192 family suites, a feature introduced first among Disney’s Value Resorts.[1] The resort’s design centers on a music theme, with oversized decorations representing genres such as Broadway show tunes, calypso, country, jazz, and rock n’ roll.[1] These include large-scale replicas of instruments like guitars, trumpets, and drums.[1] The resort participates in the Florida Green Lodging Program, meeting state environmental standards.[2]
Construction for the All-Star Resort complex began in November 1992, with Arquitectonica of Miami serving as the architect.[1] Disney’s All-Star Music Resort opened on November 22, 1994, following Disney's All-Star Sports Resort as the second in the All-Star series.[3] The Calypso section opened first, while the Broadway section was completed last on February 17, 1995.[1]
