Walt Disney World 'Art of Animation' Resort
Information
Although Art of Animation has been open less than a year at this time, it has become one of the most talked about resorts at Walt Disney World. For many great, and some not so great, reasons. It is designed around the history of Disney Animation.
We should start with some background information on the resort itself. There are 2000 rooms available, 864 Standard Rooms and 1,120 Family Suites. Art of Animation has 4 different themed areas. These are Finding Nemo, Cars, Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. It boasts 3 pools. One large Finding Nemo pool, which is the largest pool in Walt Disney World Resort. This pool area has underwater speakers, a first for any Disney World Resort, and a smaller splash area for younger kids. There are also 2 smaller pools on the outsides of the resort.
The room sizes are on par with the other Value Resort rooms. However, Art of Animation offers Family Suite rooms as well. These include a bedroom with a living area with fold out couch, kitchenette, dining table that converts to a third bed. Sleeping Six people comfortably. Here's an image of the Cars Family Suite:
One thing I would caution against is that you will probably prefer to avoid the Finding Nemo Family Suites. When I was searching for our rooms, I came across this picture of the room. Needless to say, I was imagining waking up in this room with a massive anxiety attack. Fear of drowning would ensue and I'd probably end up sleeping outside.
You probably want to know about the food too? It was standard Disney World food. We ate here for breakfast so had the dry cereal options, yogurt, donuts, bagels. They did have hot breakfasts as well although we didn't chose them. We went with the cold breakfast items and coffee. For me personally, I've always been ho hum about the food at Disney World, as it's not nearly as good as the food at Disneyland for me. However, it was decent enough and satisfied our hunger just fine.
Overall, I would say this resort has a lot of bonuses including the pool and the family suites. However, if possible I would suggest looking at either All-Star Movies, or moving to a Moderate Resort such as Port Orleans - Riverside.
