Today In Disney History ~ November 22nd
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is a resort that is part of the Walt Disney World Resort. It is one of five resorts in the Value Resort category, along with Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort, Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. The resort is located on the southern portion of the Walt Disney World Resort property near Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is a 1,604-room hotel featuring giant icons that pay homage to classic music genres—including Broadway show tunes, calypso, country, jazz, and rock n’ roll. Disney’s All-Star Music Resort was the first Disney Value Resort with family suites. As a characteristic with all Disney Value resorts, the resort features a music theme with giant novelty items such as guitars, trumpets, and drums. The resort is designated in the Florida Green Lodging Program.
The ground breaking for the All Star Resort complex was in November 1992. The architect of the resort was Arquitectonica of Miami. All Star Music was the second All Star Resort to open after Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. Calypso was the first building to open on November 22, 1994, and Broadway was the last to open on February 17, 1995. The resort opened on November 22, 1994.
Each of the All Star Resorts has 1920 rooms except for the All Star Music. These rooms are slightly smaller than the rooms at the moderate resorts with 260 square feet (24 m 2). A typical room has two double beds, a small table with two chairs, television, nightstand, telephone, dresser, wall mirror, luggage rack, closet area, themed light fixtures, megaphones or stars, and a clock radio. The bathrooms have a single sink and mirror in a vanity area that is separate from the tub and toilet. A small key-operated wall safe is located in the closet area. In-room amenities include irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, wall safes, and pizza delivery.
