I am headed to The World next week. I am staying at All Star Music for the first time. Any suggestions on the best room location for a standard room. The family likes to be closest to the buses/eating area. Being near a pool is not that important!
With the introduction of online check-in, room assignments are actually done 4 to 5 days beforehand. I just got off the phone with my resort (calling about the refrigerator situation) and they told me this. But that's only with an early online check-in.The Standard rooms are in the Rock, Broadway, and Country sections of the resort. They are not close to the main hall or buses. I am not sure that you will get to choose your section as the room assignments are usually done early, early in the a.m. of arrival day. The preferred rooms are considered "preferred" due to their proximity to the main dining hall/bus areas. You would stand a much better chance by paying to upgrade to a preferred room.
