Disney Art of Animation Resort

 Why This Disney Resort is a Family Favorite in 2025

Disney Art of Animation Resort is one of Walt Disney World's most imaginative and family-friendly resorts. As a value resort, it offers both affordability and themed magic, making it a top choice for families looking to stay immersed in Disney storytelling even when they leave the parks.

From massive character statues to immersive room designs, this resort celebrates animation with larger-than-life flair. Let's take a closer look at what makes Art of Animation a standout choice.

Themed Suites That Bring Disney Stories to Life

What sets Art of Animation Resort apart from other value resorts is its focus on themed family suites. Each suite transports guests into the world of a beloved Disney or Pixar film, with four main sections:

• The Lion King
• Finding Nemo
• Cars
• The Little Mermaid

The Finding Nemo and Cars suites are especially popular for their immersive design, spacious layout, and ability to sleep up to six guests. With two bathrooms and a kitchenette, they're perfect for larger families or DVC members using their points for value-style vacations.

Amazing Pool Areas and Recreation

Art of Animation is home to The Big Blue Pool, the largest pool in Walt Disney World's resort collection. Inspired by Finding Nemo, the pool features underwater speakers, splash zones, and nearby play areas.

Additional pools include:

• Cozy Cone Pool in the Cars section
• Flippin' Fins Pool near The Little Mermaid rooms

These areas are perfect for guests wanting fun downtime between park days. If you're a Disney Vacation Club owner, it's a great place to extend your stay and stretch your points. Explore options with the DVC Resale Value Calculator to see what works best.

Food and Dining Options

While Art of Animation doesn't feature fine dining, its Landscape of Flavors food court is one of the most praised quick-service options among Disney resorts. It offers a wide variety of meals, including:

• Build-your-own pasta and burger stations
• Global-inspired entrees
• Grab-and-go options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

It's a convenient and tasty solution for busy park days, especially for families with kids.

Location and Transportation Perks

The resort is located near Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, and it's connected to both via the Disney Skyliner gondola system. The Skyliner provides quick and scenic access to the parks, making Art of Animation even more convenient for DVC members and regular guests alike.
