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.

“one of my least favorite hotels in my life”

Oct 09, 2025jackson c

one of my least favorite hotels in my life you're probably think I'm doing for saying that but here's why my family went here a couple years ago and said that there was bed bugs I tested it to see if they were joking so I spent a few days here and yes the room was tested for bed bugs no wonder why my whole family and now me has a bunch of bumps on her legs but then I wanted to see if it was of just a car since I went to an intersection and every other room was okay do not go to the car section for might be bed bugs

“Warm Fuzzies”

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!

“Great for families”

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.
