We just booked our trip and we will be staying at All Star Music for 5 nights in a standard room.
I have a few questions that I'm hoping you can all help me with as this is our first time staying on property.
Our flight arrives just after midnight. What is the best way to the resort? Sunshine Flyer stops running at 11 pm. We will have our luggage with us. Would it only be Uber or Lyft?
Are there toasters in the lobby that can be used to toast my own bagels?
What brand of coffee is in the room? Are they K-pods? Do they provide take away cups? Do they provide cream (liquid or powder)?
We won't have a car this time, is there anything within walking distance in terms of grocery/restaurants?
If we want to be closeby to the elevator and shuttle bus pick up/drop off, should we request a particular building or section?
Can we request a pool view?
I can help with a few things:
The one time we arrived so late, we were renting a car and it was a disaster. We waited over an hour for our vehicle and didn't get to the resort until around 130AM. I would use Uber or Lyft. I would also check to see if Minnie Vans were running at the time and consider them. Other options are to reserve a Town Car.
Joffrey's Coffee is in the room and it is the flat pods and NOT K Cups. I read that since rooms are now only being serviced every other day that stopping in the lobby and asking for coffee and coffee-related items is a good idea. It's what we plan on doing.
There is a food court at the resort but no restaurants or grocery stores within walking distance. Consider a grocery delivery from Instacart, Walmart +, Shipt,
Amazon Fresh, or Garden Grocers to be delivered to Bell Services on your arrival day.

For a great overview of the resort, look on YouTube for Tim Tracker's resort tour.
When you booked your room, an option for a Pool View should have been available IF it was available at the time of booking.
Touring Plans has a neat service for its members where they fax specific room requests 30 days out from arrival. You can check out all the views and see which rooms they recommend in each building.
