I loved Art of Animation. The family friendly look makes it even better. I would live there if I could. The only problem I had is the rooms are a little small(Little Mermaid room not the Suites)
Pros:
There are more then one way to get to some of the parks unlike the All Stars.Cons:
The rooms are fairly small if you stay in the Little Mermaid rooms.Reviewed by Reed2015 Review Date: 10/18/2021

Great theming and love the access to the skyliner and the fact that you can bus to POP (if the pop bus arrives sooner) and walk back to the resort. I did give this resort a lower rating, rating because I have only stayed in the Little Mermaid rooms and never. again. That walk is just not worth it, unless you just LOVE Ariel
Pros:
Skyliner. Great Disney feel. Walk to Pop Century.Cons:
Walk to Little Mermaid is horrible after a day at the park.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/11/2021

I have stayed at Fort Wilderness and Caribbean…..and will still put this at the top of the list. The convenience to the skyliner, busses always available, great food, amazing kid activities were over the top! Our room was cozy! I loved the staff. Everything about this place surpassed my expectations.
Pros:
Skyliner, pool, food, staffCons:

Stayed there in 2013 with family. We loved the cars family suites. There was more than enough room for our family. Having 2 full bathrooms made for easy times for bathing and potty time. We did not have the skyliner back then but with the skyliner there now makes it that much easier to get to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The food court was good. I wish there was a little more options thou for food since you do pay a rather high price for the family suites. It would be nice to see more moderate resort options there.
Pros:
Large rooms, the pools, the sky linerCons:
need more food options, not enough moderate resort options for the price you pay.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/29/2021

Honest review

Refrigerator doesn’t work at all! Bathroom door doesn’t shut, two ROACHES were on the walls when we walked in. Luggage carts are $50 to “rent”.Reviewed by LizzyForDizney Review Date: 09/10/2021

This resort gives you the “Disney feels” for sure! We are currently in the Little Mermaid section. It’s your very basic hotel room with kid friendly (and dare I say a little cheap looking) decor. We are halfway through a 10 day stay and I wish I would have split my trip into two resorts or chose a family room. It’s very cramped and gets messy quickly with our family of four. I thought oh well, we aren’t going to spend too much time in the room. Well- it’s poured rain for 2 days and I’m getting a little stir crazy!
The pools are great- the big blue pool is so much fun. The pool bar is so-so. The food options are not good here either. Landscape of Flavors is the main eatery. There’s some good pastries and baked items and breakfast was delicious, but dinner options haven’t been so tasty. Pizza here is like cardboard. One night I had the turkey dinner, which was good, but the next night was salmon and it was not very good. Kiddos enjoyed the Mac n Cheese here. We always do refillable cups and it’s nice that there are many stations, including one out by the main pool. The housekeeping now is every other day a light trash and towel change and on the 5th day is a linen change. I greatly miss coming back from a long day at the parks to clean rooms and made up beds with special touches from Mousekeeping. (Sigh)
SkyLiner access is a long walk but it’s awesome! Buses picked us up rather quickly and we had zero issues with long waits. Also, there’s an arcade here!
Pros:
Awesome Disney themes, good breakfast, SkyLiner, fabulous pool, somewhat affordableCons:
Poor food choices, small rooms if staying in Little Mermaid section and very long walks to main building and transportationReviewed by ZoeyandRory Review Date: 09/06/2021

Lovely theming, so many photo ops but this place is really big! It's only a "value" resort if you are in the Little Mermaid section, and it is quite basic. The family suites look nice but for the price I'd rather stay in a deluxe resort! The big blue pool is awesome.
Pros:
Photo ops galore!Cons:
Long walk to get to Sky Liner or resort amenities.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 08/20/2021

This is one of my favorite value resorts. It is great for families and has lots of Disney magic to it. The food was good and the pool is nice too.
Pros:
You can tell it’s a Disney resort, good foodCons:

My family LOVES this resort! The theming is out of this world. The pool is huge and visually appealing. We always spend check in day walking the different sections and taking pics as a family. The Lion King suites are our fav. My kids love the elephant skeleton playground. The food court has some unique options (pre covid. hopefully again soon!)
