We stayed at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort in May and had an absolutely fabulous experience! At check-in, we were treated to a little Disney “pixie dust” and received a complimentary upgrade to a Cars family suite. The suite was perfect for our stay – it included a separate bedroom with a queen bed and private bathroom, a small kitchenette, a cozy TV sitting area with a pull-out bed, an extra bathroom, and a dining area where the table converted into another bed. Everything was clean, spacious, and well-kept. Check-in itself was smooth, and all of our questions were answered. We even received a thoughtful follow-up phone call from the cast member who checked us in, just to make sure everything with our room was perfect – such a nice touch! The Landscape of Flavors food court was busy but ran efficiently, and mobile ordering made things easy. There was a good variety of choices, and we liked having POP Century Resort close by for a few extra dining options. We visited all of the pools, and each one was fun in its own way. The laundry facilities located by the pools were also very convenient. The gift shop was another highlight – a nice mix of resort-specific items, general Disney merchandise, and plenty of snacks and essentials. Every cast member we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and pleasant, which really added to the overall magic of our stay. Transportation was also a breeze thanks to the Skyliner, which felt quicker and more enjoyable than the standard bus rides. Finally, the theming at this resort is simply outstanding. From the lobby to the different sections of the resort, there’s so much to take in – it just made us happy every time we walked around. We would happily stay here again and recommend Disney’s Art of Animation Resort to anyone looking for a fun, immersive, and convenient Disney resort experience!

This is a very nice resort. I would recommend it. I rated it down one star because of the bathroom. It smelled of unrine. I'm not sure the problem can be fixed. It is a kid friendly resort, so maybe to be expected. You decide. The room was plenty large. Strollers fit in the room,but it's tight.strollers today are large! The pool was nice. I wish it was more shallow in the kids area. If I remember correctly it's about 3' at the most shallow. The larger pool slowly ramps into deeper water which was nice, but once again it hits 3' quickly. They do seem to have a large life guard staff which was very nice. They also have a restaurant on premises which is helpful. They sell a $23.00 refill for your stay mug. If you are there a while it is worth doing. It was amazing how many times we stopped in there to refill.

"Great theming and convenient for Skyliner"

Stayed here for 2 nights after All Stars Movies, this was our second time at Art of Animation. We have always been unlucky with Disney, whilst before we went I read so many posts of people being upgraded from Movie to Animation, and other Disney “magic”, we instead been given the worst rooms in both of the hotels. This was our third time at WDW, each visit the room couldn’t be furthest from everything, view of the car park or the least convenient for us 🤪 The room was the same as when we previously visit in 2019. We didn’t use the pool this time as we were out mostly at the parks and it was closed the one time we want to use it. We booked the Little Mermaid room. Beds were comfortable, room slightly bigger than at Movies and theming in the room is great. Room could have been cleaner - I think it was a rushed cleaning but amenities were adequate for our needs. Walk from the Little Mermaid section to the Skyliner took around 15 mins. Convenient for visiting Epcot and Studios. Went to the food court once on check-in day whilst waiting for our room, it was chaotic although the food offered was better than at Movies. I only booked this resort as my kids wanted to be back but I think they’re over with Ariel or Disney for that matter now, so I don’t think I will be back to this resort as the price point is too expensive for what you get.
