🏨 Disney’s Art of Animation Resort – A Stay That’s Straight Out of a Storybook 🎨✨

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) If you’re looking for a resort that screams Disney magic the second you walk in — Art of Animation is the one. From immersive theming to family-friendly features and easy Skyliner access, this resort brings the animation to life in every sense. 🎬 Theming That Delivers Each section of the resort is a love letter to Disney and Pixar classics: Finding Nemo, Cars, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. As a cast member and longtime local, I’ve seen the magic up close — but even I found myself grinning like a kid walking through Radiator Springs. Every detail is spot-on, from the giant character statues to the themed music playing throughout the resort. 👨‍👩‍👦 Family-Friendly Rooms We stayed in a Cars family suite, and it was perfect for our family of three (plus the occasional visiting grandparent). The suite had two bathrooms (a lifesaver with little ones), a separate bedroom, and plenty of room for everyone to stretch out. Bonus: The Murphy bed was surprisingly comfy! 🌊 Pools, Skyliner & More • Big Blue Pool: Absolutely one of the best pools on Disney property. Kids loved the underwater music and splash area. • Skyliner access: Game-changer! It makes getting to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios so easy and fun. • Landscape of Flavors: Tons of quick-service options, including some better-than-expected international choices. 🪄 Magic in the Details One of my favorite moments was early in the morning — coffee in hand, walking through the resort as the sun rose, with music from The Lion King softly playing in the background. These are the kinds of moments that stay with you. 💡 Cast Member Tip: • Request a room close to transportation if you’re in The Little Mermaid section — it’s a bit of a walk otherwise. • Keep your eyes open in the lobby — the walls are filled with early character sketches that are art nerd gold. ⸻ Would I stay again? In a heartbeat. Whether you’re a family with small kids, a Disney adult looking for great theming, or just want to feel like you’re in the heart of the magic without the Deluxe price tag — Art of Animation is a colorful, joyful, and memorable stay. 📸 Don’t forget to snap a pic with the giant Crush statue. It’s a rite of passage. Read less

Ended up going to Pop Century and loving the vibes

little mermaid room was to small dismal and far away for our kids and senior father so it proved to be to much and we switched mid week to pop century which is a easier time for same size room and it had more food choices with colorful remodeled food court which really made it fun

We stayed in the Lion King, family suite, 1 queen, 1 murphy double bed, sofa double bed for 4 nights. Family of 4 adults, 6 year old, 4 year old, 1.5 year old. Pillows are not the best-too fluffy.

We stayed in the Lion King, family suite, 1 queen, 1 murphy double bed, sofa double bed for 4 nights. Family of 4 adults, 6 year old, 4 year old, 1.5 year old. Pillows are not the best-too fluffy. They only provided bar soap. Curtains didn't close all the way and the sun peeked in and woke you up. Hair dryer wasn't the best; it wasn't very powerful. When showering, weak water pressure and there wasn't a flexible hand held shower. We requested more towels and it was brought up right away. Housekeeping is only available every other day. Basic accommodation provided. A bit tight in space for us. We had 2 strollers and a rental scooter. Children's pool was good. Splash pad was ok. Not a lot of water splashing. Landscape flavor menu selections were not the best for diabetics or healthy people. I purchased the refillable plastic cup. It was a great value but many times the fountain drinks didn't work or were very low, thereby affecting the flavour. Characters were not available till 9/930am or 3/330pm. I was disappointed, I didn't get any pictures with them. The gift shop at the resort didn't have any fridge magnets we were looking for. Sizes for kids Tshirts were out of stock. When staying at the resort, we used buses to go to other parks, shopping, skyliner were included. Read less

A great place to stay.

A great place to stay. We were upgraded to a suite which had everything you could want including a kitchenette and seating area. Spotless and carefully themed, every detail had been thought of in the planning of the room and the resort. Good range of food on offer in the cafe all day.

This is a solid choice - heavy on the fun theming

We stayed in a Nemo suite. Building 5 on the top floor. It was a nice room. Felt pretty clean. Housekeeping comes every other day. Could not complain about the room. Beds were comfortable. Theming is fun. The pool was nice although we couldn’t use it for a bit on our last day because I believe there was a poop incident. I loved the pool theming - mostly the landscaping. Very creative use of plants that looked like you’d find them under the sea. The restaurant was ok. Pizza and salad were very ok. My girls liked the nachos. Breakfast food was kind of yuck. If I had one real negative to report - I would say the mixed drinks were the worst I’ve tasted. At about $17 each they must’ve had the cheapest liquor in the world in them. Tasted like nail polish remover. Many places where I got a drink at the parks, I regretted it too. If you are going to charge those prices- make it an absolute treat. Buy a can of beer in the restaurant before buying a mixed drink. Believe me. (I do recommend a mimosa in EPCOT France. ). I would stay here again. Was great to be so close to the skyliner and bus stop after a long day. We also had our luggage sent to the airport the morning we checked out. We were flying on Southwest but not until evening. This was very handy and a nice perk. 2 or 3 of the 15 or so staff we interacted with were super friendly. Read less
