Looking for fun place for your family? Look no further than Disney’s Art of Animation Resort in the Disney’s Hollywood Studios Resort area! This is the newest resort on Disney property and is quite popular amongst families! The Art of Animation Resort opened in 2012 with 1,120 themed family suites as well as 864 themed non-suite rooms. The Art of Animation offers family suites themed sectioned in Lion King, Nemo and Cars. In addition to the family suites there are standard rooms that are themed to The Little Mermaid. Guests staying at the Art of Animation Resort get to experience Disney magic at a family friendly price!

The fabulously themed family suites can accommodate up to 6 guests with the 3 sleeping areas and 2 separate bathrooms. All rooms have an in-room refrigerator, flat-screen TV with cable or satellite, internet access as well as access to the main building where the there is a store with plenty of souvenirs and sundries.

The Art of Animation Resort is not lacking on the entertainment department as there are walking paths, playgrounds, video arcades, and an interactive water play area. There are also 3 pools with the Nemo theme pool, The Big Blue Pool, being the largest in Walt Disney World Resorts. The Nemo themed pool features state-of-the-art underwater speakers – another first for Disney Resort hotels. The other two pools are in the Cars and The Little Mermaid courtyards and are called the Cozy Cone Pool and Flippin Fins Pool. This property is not a small property as it is 87 acres of fun!


This resort is a bus-only resort for Disney transportation. If you are planning an early morning breakfast it is suggest to take either your own vehicle or a taxi as bus services do not usually begin until an hour prior to park opening.

This resort is the first at many things! For the first time ever at any Disney resort hotel that guests can purchase items such as the decorative shower curtains or a crazy cone lamp. Another first for a value resort is a self-service business center for guests to take advantage of while enjoying the Art of Animation Resort.

The resort also offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and scrumptious snacks at the Landscape of Flavors food court. The dining at Landscape of Flavors food court is a counter service credit for those on the dining plan. One of the fabulous things about the Landscape of Flavors is the option to “make your own” foods, healthy options as well as smoothies. Some of the healthier options include buckwheat pasta, egg-white frittatas and low-fat smoothies. With 5 distinctive food shops there is definitely something to satisfy everyone in your group!

This resort is one of our family favorites and is sure to be your favorite too! If your family is ready to have fun at the Art of Animation Resort contact Kari with Destinations in Florida at 434-609-2370 or kari@destinationsinflorida.com to book your vacation!

  1. The Little Mermaid rooms are more expensive than value resort standard rooms especially since they do not allow special pricing on them. But the amenities at Art of Animation make up for that. The best deal there is on the Family Suites since there are typically 15-20% off of the room rate.

  2. There are some wonderful food options at the Landscape of Flavor! We used to have problems finding healthy option at value resort food courts but the Art of Animation totally changed that!

  3. This is a perfect resort for a multi-family trip! I actually just helped 4 different families that are traveling together plan their vacation to Art of Animation! If you would like assistance with your next trip email me at kari@destinationsinflorida.com and make sure to mention Chip sent you! I would be more than happy to plan magical memories for your family!

  4. We are staying at POP Century. Now I have to walk the bridge over to AOA and check it out. I’ll do that the day we check in since it isn’t a park day. My Disney vacation calender is getting full! #ymbada

  5. We may try eating there on our up coming trip, I like the idea of having a healthy low calorie meal some times that’s hard to find at DW ‪#‎ymbada‬

  6. I’d love to stay in a Little Mermaid room. They’re pretty expensive for a value resort though. I was surprised! #ymbada
