Hi Again, France!
Yes, you are correct that the Family Suites at
Disney's All-Star Music Resort are currently receiving top-to-bottom renovations. Gone are the individual couches, old color scheme, room layout, and oak-colored furnishings. Everything is being transformed to look modern, feel new, and maximize storage space. The kitchen area now features a freezer, the playful artwork pays homage to Disney's music-loving characters, and the flow of the room just makes the space feel bigger. The new furnishings look identical to what's offered in the rooms that just completed their renovations at
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort; in fact, just imagine that what you're seeing of the pictures at Movies is the new living room area of the Music Family Suites, only both of those beds are two queen-sized fold down murphy beds. Or, to get a complete idea of what these rooms now offer, there are a few really great walk through videos on youtube.
Currently about half of the Family Suites have already completed their remodels. There isn't a publicized end date to when all of these rooms will be finished, though I do have a good feeling that all of these rooms will be refreshed and ready to accept guests by the time of your arrival.
If you're looking for other
Disney Resort Hotel options that would comfortably accommodate a group of five or six, look into a
Family Suite at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, a
Cabin at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, or a
multi-room Deluxe Villa.
I hope this information helped, and if you have any more questions about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation, We're All Ears!
