“Little mermaid room stay”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

Love this hotel! If you are not getting a suite, the little mermaid buildings are your only option and they are somewhat of a hike to the bus stop after you've been walking the parks a few days. The in room fridge is a great addition that the all stars and pop century do not have. The beds are more... More

“Nice place”

We chose the Art of Animation because of the location and the fact that it was a newer establishment. The kids LOVED it. We stayed in the little mermaid part of the hotel. It was a decent walk but nothing we couldn't handle. The nemo pool in the middle of the complex was pretty neat. The pool was the perfect... More

“rooms to accomodate needs of families”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

My extended family took a [too short/tried to jam in too much] vacay at WDW in September 2012, shortly after AoA opened. We reserved 2 suites in the Finding Nemo building, directly opposite the large swimming pool. Our group: 2 seniors (78, 80), 7 adults (55, 49, 35, 31, 27, 26, 22), 1 teen and 2 kids (10 and 3)....

“Kids will love it!”

We stayed in a Little Mermaid room for two nights in late April. Check-in was quick and easy. We were in the Ariel building. I didn't think the walk from the main building was quite as extreme as some reviews have made it seem. We had no issues with noise from the adjacent rooms. We could hear outside noise a... More

“Room for 6”

Staying at the Disney's Art of Animation Resort is a must for families with 4-6 people. Rooms are well equiped with fridge and microwave. Master suite with own TV and bath is a big plus. Great location to all Disney resorts and other Orlando attractions with easy access to I-4. Provided bus transportation to Disney Resorts is excellent with only... More

“excellent accomodations”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

We recently stayed for the weekend at the Disney's Art of Animation Resort. We booked the Finding Nemo Suite. I must say we were impressed with the accomodations. The suite consists of one private bedroom with a queen bed and its own bathroom and a living/dining area with a sofa sleeper and a murphy bed. There was a bathroom in... More

“We stayed in the mermaid room May 10, 2012”

We had a Mermaid room in Building Seven facing the hourglass lake. It was not noisy at all but there was a five plus min walk from main areas. It wasn't bad considering there is a medium pool near by and plenty of amazing things to look at and stop for pictures along the way.. We had no bed bug... More

“Will definitely be back!”

I cannot say enough about our stay at the Art of Animation. The people were wonderful, the pools were great and we loved our room! I also have celiac disease and the chef made me a couple special gluten free meals that were very good. I never felt like I was staying at what they consider a "value resort" and... More

“Great stay at Art of Animation”

Just got back from staying for 7 nights at Art of Animation. Loved the hotel. Great for families with children. Stayed in the Cars section (building 1). If your kids are fans of the movie, Cars, they will LOVE this resort. Such thoughtful detail by Disney. Each of the 3 Cars buildings has a different theme at the entrance to... More
