The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Experience

I cannot say enough great things about this place. We stayed in the Cars Family Suite and it was spacious! The separate master bedroom had its own bathroom, plus a walk-in shower. The sofa turned into a bed, and having a small refrigerator and sink was very convenient. The theming throughout the room really made our family feel like we were part of the Disney magic.

A Children's Paradise

Our kids loved the themed pools, especially the big blue pool with underwater music! It felt magical as they played in the splash area. Throughout our stay, there were so many fun activities by the pool that kept them entertained. They truly made the hotel feel like a wonderland for kids.

Great Dining Options

The food court was impressive! It had a wide variety of choices, and pricing was reasonable for Disney standards. We particularly loved the individual pasta dishes and giant meatball with polenta. Plus, the quick service made it easy to grab a meal between park visits.

Fun Nightly Activities

I absolutely loved the nightly movie screenings by the pool. It was a fantastic way to unwind after a long day at the parks. The kids enjoyed watching their favorite Disney films under the stars, and it created such a magical atmosphere for our family to bond.

Staying at this resort was a magical experience that transported my family right into the heart of Disney. The room was spacious and comfortable, perfectly meeting our needs, especially with two bathrooms and a convenient kitchenette. However, the overwhelming decor and noise from neighboring rooms detracted from the overall experience. Dining offered decent options but could become repetitive over time. Overall, it's a solid choice for a family-friendly Disney experience.

This hotel offers a unique Disney-themed experience, but it falls short in terms of comfort and service. The rooms have a fun decor, but noise from neighbors was bothersome during our stay. While the location is convenient for accessing transport, the dining options were disappointing and overall, the value for money is questionable given the issues we faced with cleanliness and service.

7.6/10

Our stay at the Art of Animation was quite enjoyable overall. The suite was spacious and perfect for our family of six, with enough room for everyone to relax. The convenience of the Skyliner made travel to the parks a breeze. However, the inconsistent service and some issues with the dining options were letdowns. Considering the high price, not everything lived up to expectations.

Rooms

The Nemo suite was spacious for our family of six, with two bathrooms making it easy to manage daily routines. It came equipped with a comfortable pull-down and couch bed, and the mattress quality was satisfactory. However, the Little Mermaid room was quite small for a family of four.

Service

Service was a mixed bag; while some staff were polite and helpful, others were not as accommodating, leading to a bit of frustration when dining. Also, the check-in process took longer than expected due to limited staff at the front desk.

The hotel's location is fantastic with quick access to the Skyliner, making transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios very convenient. However, the Little Mermaid rooms are a bit far from the main amenities.

The pool area was enjoyable, particularly for the kids, and activities hosted by lifeguards were engaging. However, the food court could use some diversity in menu offerings.

I had a lovely stay at this Disney hotel, enjoying a great family atmosphere and comfortable, themed rooms. The pool area was fantastic, providing a fun place for the kids to play, but the dining options could use some improvement. The location was convenient for park access, although the bus service back to the hotel after a long day was frustrating at times. Overall, it's a family-friendly place with good value for money.

Rooms

The Little Mermaid room we stayed in was cute and comfortable, although it could benefit from better soundproofing as we could hear noise from other rooms.

We had a great experience overall at the hotel, with a beautifully themed suite and a spacious layout perfect for our family of four. The pool area was fantastic and really fun for the kids, plus we loved the nearby dining options, although the prices are on the higher side. Unfortunately, the beds were uncomfortable, which dampened our sleep quality and enjoyment of the parks.
