Disney's Art of Animation Resort Reviews

Everything quite convenient, loved having a bedroom, 3 beds, 2bathrooms+toilet for our family of 5. Alarm clock is cute - different characters to wake you up gently instead of a blaring alarm sound lol! Staff members were all wonderful, smiling and friendly.. Free car parking is helpful if you have a car but don’t need to use during your stay as transport is very convenient to get to/from the Disney areas - Bus to Magic Kingdom/Animal Kingdom/Hollywood Studios/Disney Springs/Summer Winterland (same bus as Blizzard Beach), Skyline to Epcot. Although I must say, it felt like there were more buses returning to other resorts (like Pop Century and All Stars vs Art of Animation; maybe 3-4buses for every 1). Comes quite frequent though, traffic played a part on delays.. Pop Century is located next to Art of Animation so we considered taking that bus and walking back to pass through the Skyline station as the resorts share it, but we’d always surpassed our walking steps during a park visit so just waited.. Laundry mat is handy, gets very busy during the afternoon/evening as expected. No quarters needed, can pay via QR code. They have a vending machine with detergent and dryer sheets. Staff had visited whilst I was doing laundry several times to clean and sanitize machines. Early entry to parks a great perk, saved and opted not to buy any lightening passes. We would take advantage of early entry, do a few rides and then head back to the resort to relax for a couple of hours and then head back to do more rides/parade/fireworks etc at about 2:45pm. We kindly received complimentary access to play mini golf as the check in staff member recognized we’ve travelled quite a long way 🥹 - thank you, it was so much fun! Complimentary access to Blizzard Beach also included, unfortunately it was too cold to take advantage of it as our stay was during what seemed like an Arctic blast! 🥶 This has been our 3rd stay here, it always gives beautiful memories to take home with us 🥰

Worth the money I paid for.

The family suite is still a bit small for a family of 6. Food are average but location is very convenient to all the parks and nearby resort.

100% satisfied ♥️

Excellent

The rooms have few amenities & are quite small. However, the location & use of Disney Transportation is great! The biggest downside is that booking through a 3rd party the rooms are the absolute FARTHEST from the lobby, dining, etc….

Want an experience, thank you Disney for giving us all an unforgettable and magical time. Best place to visit!

We booked this room for quick access to the Skyliner. We were pleasantly surprised by the room theme and all the decor around the property. The restaurant on site has tons of diet friendly options. Overall excellent experience from check in to check out. We will definitely stay again.

I stayed here because I heard they allowed pets. It was in the Little Mermaid building. Amenities included soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a hair dryer. There was no microwave in the room, but you could heat up something at Landscape of Flavors (the restaurant). The Little Mermaid was the farthest, so I bought a refillable mug so I could refill it multiple times during my stay, but it was honestly a hassle to have to go back and forth every time. There's also a gondola to Epcot and Hollywood, so it was easy to get there and back, being close to the boarding point. I used the coin laundry a few times, and since I could pay by card by scanning a QR code, I didn't need to carry a lot of coins. There were large statues of The Little Mermaid, Cars, The Lion King, and Nemo, which were really cute!

Finding Nemo is in a very good location, close to the front desk and cable car station, and convenient for travel

The hotel is so beautiful and nice. We originally booked a Mermaid Twin Room, but luckily we were upgraded to a Cars Family Suite. We stayed for three nights and were reluctant to check out.

My wife and I, my 60-year-old mother, and my 20-year-old sister stayed in the Cars Suite, a total of four of us. There were two bedrooms and two bathrooms, so we were able to maintain a certain amount of privacy for each other and had a comfortable stay. There was also a microwave, sink, small refrigerator, and coffee maker, so we were able to have breakfast in our room during our stay. The shuttle bus to Disney World was convenient, and there were plenty of shops and food courts, making it the perfect place for a Disney vacation.

If you adjust your stay date, this is one of the cheaper hotels in the resort. It is easy to use the Skyliner, and there was no problem getting to the park.

The room is old, but it is still very convenient. It is good to take the cable car and the shuttle bus.
