I have a confession to make about my recent trip to Walt Disney World: sometimes, even seasoned Disney-goers like myself can make rookie mistakes! One such blunder was when I didn’t follow my own advice during my stay at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort.

As a budget-conscious traveler, I frequently opt for the value resorts, and the All-Star Music Resort is a personal favorite. However, this time I chose a standard room, which landed me in the Country Fair section — the furthest possible spot from the resort’s main attractions. The first day, I was too excited to really notice the inconvenience, but by the second day, the long trek to the bus stop quickly became a source of regret, particularly at the end of a tiring park day.

In contrast, a prior stay at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort featured a Preferred Room in the Fantasia section. The small extra cost put me a mere minute or two from the main lobby and essential amenities like the bus stop and food court. The convenience of being so close to everything made a huge difference, especially when returning to the hotel with tired legs after a full day of park hopping.

My lesson from this experience? That slight premium for a Preferred Room is well worth it! Shaving off ten minutes or more of walking each way can significantly enhance your comfort and enjoyment, making those extra dollars a smart investment. For any Disney resort stay, I now wholeheartedly recommend opting for a Preferred Room if budget allows.

So, next time you’re booking, remember this tip, and spare yourself some unnecessary aches and pains. Your future self will thank you!
