Disney’s Art of Animation Resort: A Must-Stay for Disney Fans

If you’re looking for a resort that completely immerses you in the magic of Disney, look no further than Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. This value resort is perfect for families, animation lovers, and anyone who wants to feel like they’ve stepped into their favorite Disney films.

Themed to Perfection
One of the biggest draws of Disney’s Art of Animation is its immersive theming. The resort celebrates some of Disney and Pixar’s most beloved animated films, with dedicated sections for The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Cars. Each section is designed to transport you directly into the world of the film, from larger-than-life character statues to intricately themed landscaping and decor.

Spacious and Family-Friendly Accommodations
Art of Animation offers both standard rooms and family suites, making it an excellent choice for larger groups. The Finding Nemo, Cars, and The Lion King suites can accommodate up to six guests and feature kitchenettes, two bathrooms, and plenty of space to spread out. The Little Mermaid standard rooms are perfect for smaller groups and have fun under-the-sea theming.

Big Blue Pool and Resort Amenities
The resort is home to the largest pool in all of Walt Disney World—the Big Blue Pool, themed after Finding Nemo. This zero-entry pool even features underwater speakers playing music and sounds from the movie! There are also two additional pools in the Cars and The Little Mermaid sections, along with a fun playground for kids and an arcade for some extra entertainment.

Dining at Landscape of Flavors
When it’s time to eat, the Landscape of Flavors food court offers a variety of delicious dining options. From customizable burgers and pasta to international dishes and Mickey waffles, there’s something to please everyone in the family. It’s a great place to fuel up before heading out to the parks.
