We stayed in the Little Mermaid room. My girls were very excited about the room and enjoyed all of the sculptures throughout the resort. The pool is one of the best features of the resort.

We have stayed in the Art of Animation suites for two different vacations. We love having a separate bedroom so we can put the children to bed on the couch bed and Murphy bed and we can watch tv, shower, relax, etc without disturbing them. We LOVE the decor of the resort and rooms. The cast members are always helpful and the variety of food in the cafe is nice.
Pros:
Suites have plenty of space 3 pools to choose from Skyliner....a game changer! Price is greatCons:
BUSES!! They are ALWAYS the last spot at the resorts so it's a super long walk and always a long wait for the bus to get there.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/16/2020

It was my first ever Disney trip and I made sure to plan everything to a T. Art of Animation was a part of my master plan and I truly loved it there. Upon arrival, they upgraded my room to a Cars Suite and I thought the room and area of the resort were adorable! The staff were always extremely courteous and helpful and made sure that my family's stay was amazing. Everything was always clean and neat and the food in the cafeteria was good as well. The Skyliner made transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios a breeze. Art of ANimation was so nice that it made me wonder how great could the other resorts outside of the value category could possibly be.
Pros:
Clean, Great Staff, Adorable Themes, New TransportationCons:

This is the second straight year we have stayed at the Art of Animation - Ariel room. We stay 1 night each time before heading to our DVC resort. For the second straight year, our room was dirty and I was not happy about this. The resort is nice with the pool and theme, but the cleanliness of the room is a big turnoff for a future stays there. The bed had dirt stains, there was glitter all over the carpet, the walls had stains (came off when I rubbed with a wash cloth so housekeeping could have done this). I am very disappointed that for the second straight year our room was dirty. We did not say anything since we arrived at 6:30PM and staying one night but if I planned to stay for more than 1 night then I would have complained. I expect better than this from Disney. I would not recommend Art of Animation to anyone for this reason.

My second favorite resort. Between this resort and Pop Century, I would recommend staying here. If you have a large family or older teens and adult children in your party, go with the suites. You have one bedroom, a pull-down table bed, and the pull-out sofa bed. The suites also have a coffee pot and microwave in the room along with some disposable dishes. You also get two bathrooms in the suites which comes in handy. The cast members provided great guest service, were curteous, and helpful and knowledgeable.
