Disney's Art of Animation Resort | Walt Disney World, Orlando | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Walt Disney World, Orlando

3 stars

We all know and love those Disney classics - The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Cars, The Little Mermaid - and Disney's Art of Animation is where you'll find inspiration from each of them. From themed swimming pools to family suites with themed decor, here you can become part of dome of your animated favourites. And it's the perfect balance if you're wanting a fun resort that's a little quieter - as it's pretty spacious, allowing for a few calmer areas. Be sure to check out The Big Blue Pool (the largest one in Walt Disney World Resort), complete with water jets and a play area for little ones. And one of our favourite perks of staying here is the Disney Skyliner Transporatation so you can enjoy a birds-eye view as you're whisked right to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios.

“Magical Stay.”

Excellent stay! We booked a small Little Mermaid room & got upgraded to a Lion King Suite. It was fantastic to have two bathrooms and lots of space. Pool was a little crowded. Skyliner makes trips to HS and Epcot a breeze.

“Not Disney Magic”

We were there when the hotel was at capacity from the previous day. Check-in is 3pm, but our room was not ready until nearly 4pm. After discussing my frustration with the check-in, we were given a credit. We stayed in the Little Mermaid section which apparently is the cheaper in this overpriced hotel. We had conflicting statements from staff about a wheelchair, which some said was available others said that they are not. Surely, the staff knows the answer to this simple question. Our room was clean, but I have stayed at larger Super 8's. The bathroom was very small. We had food delivery and the next day it was frozen in the refrigerator. A microwave would have been nice. It is definitely not a hotel for senior citizens with walking difficulties.

Stayed here as a family of 5 for our first visit to Florida. Stayed in a lion king suite. Great amenities and location. Grounds were lovely. Only negatives for us we would prefer more drawer space for clothes. Restaurant was quite busy at times but no real issue. Would definitely stay again.
