Disney's Art of Animation Resort

The little mermaid room was adorable however, there were only 3 very small drawers which did not allow us to have one drawer each. The pools were decorated so fun! There were plenty of statues to take pictures with. The food was good, good choices and affordably priced. Overall worth the $$$

Last minute family get away. We stayed 3 nights in a family suite in the Lion King wing. There are six of us, including four adult children. The suite isn’t huge and there isn’t a kitchen or dining area, but we ate all of our meals in the park so it didn’t matter. There was plenty of dresser storage space to unpack if you like. I can’t comment on the dining since we only ate at the parks. We did buy one resort refillable mug and since we were pretty close to the main building we got decent use out of it. When the sofa bed and Murphy bed are being used there isn’t a ton of extra room to walk around, but it was totally manageable. I’m not a fan of the hard floors, they kinda hurt my bare feet. All of the beds were pretty comfortable and easily fit six adults. Our wing was conveniently located near the lobby and skyliner. The skyliner is such a great way to get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The bus to Animal Kingdom was less than 9 minutes and the buses to Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs, respectively were around 20 minutes. We didn’t have time to swim, but the pool is pretty large and nicely themed. Overall we enjoyed this resort and I’d recommend it.

This is pretty solid for an on-property family-of-4-or-less Disney Resort. It's certainly more expensive than the hotel room itself deserves, but the theming is really cool, and the location/transportation is where you save money. We stayed in the 'Little Mermaid' section (the least expensive), and had the furthest walk to everywhere in Art of Animation. The resort isn't huge, so it's not a big deal. Overall, would recommend if you want to stay on-property, and save some money (especially if you've got some younger kids)

What a cute resort! My family traveled here for Disneyworld. We stayed in the little mermaid building. It is the furthest building from the main hall, which was a little tiring. The room itself was small, but had your basic essentials. You pay for the decor and theme of it all. Our kids loved it! Room service was good. Pool provided lifeguards and life vests of all sizes for kids! Laundry room is available, but cost $3.75 per load. The cafeteria/restaurant provided a good variety of food,snacks,beverages, and desserts! Every team member from shop to transportation driver was friendly! A must for the best experience! Would overall rate this resort an 8/10!

I am a grandma who visited with my daughter, and my 3 year old granddaughter. The theming doesn't get any better! We stayed in a Mermaid room, and the grand was over the moon impressed! The pools are great! We enjoyed the meal that we had at the food court. We had heard that the mermaid rooms were a LONG walk from the bus stops, but it is really not that bad. You're at Disney, walking is part of the adventure! And 6 months later my grand is still talking about getting to shower in the "Ariel's grotto" tub. I've stayed in a lot of Disney resorts and (traveling with a child) this is my favorite!

We loved this resort! We celebrated my son's 5th birthday there and had friends come celebrate with us.

There was plenty of space in the room due to its configuration. It was nice to be able to sleep separately from the kids as well. The food was good - we ordered 2 pizzas and had breakfast the next morning.

The pool is the perfect temperature at 83°F so we stayed in there until the evening. The kids didn't want to leave! So with that said, we will be back.

Save the money and stay outside of Disney property. The only benefit you get from staying in the premises is being able to enter the parks 30 minutes early. But for half the price you can get a similar room at a brand name inn or hotel and most likely it will include breakfast.

Good service, but the rooms are as basic as they could be. Nothing is included except of disposable cups and plates.
