Amazing! Perfect for every family! My whole family adores this resort. Easy to get around everywhere and a smaller sized resort.

Pros:

All the family suites are amazing

Cons:

Don’t stay in little mermaid section and this resort should be considered moderate at the price

I love this resort! For someone who wants to be immersed in Disney, this resort hits the mark. Its got such a fun theme with the Little Mermaid, Nemo, Cars, and the Lion King. Being on the skyliner is a real highlight. It's a fun way to get to and from the parks, and I love having easy access to other resorts as well.

Pros:

Skyliner, Fun theming especially for kids

Cons:

Not good if you want to something besides a Disney theming, There are a lot of family rooms which can be more expensive and deceiving as a value resort

We recently stayed here for 5 nights early May 2022 and it was our 5 year old\\'s first trip to WDW. The decor of this resort is the absolute best for kids. We stayed in the Little Mermaid room which is more then enough space for the three of us but the farthest walk from the main area so be prepared after the 12 miles a day average (via smart watch) you may do like us at the parks.
Though there is a smaller pool in the LM section as well as Cars, the Big Blue Nemo decorated walk in pool with Splash Pad is fabulous. We spent time here our arrival day and after Epcot.
The Land of Flavors restaurant is ok but we did have food delivered from Earl Sandwhich in Disney Springs as well as Chili\\'s with no issue.
The Skyliner is amazing which brings you to Epcot and HS as well as you can check out Carribean and Riviera Resort which are on the Skyliner line.
Plus, the Skyliner drops you off at the Epcot International Gate which is right by France giving you a huge advantage to be first on Ratatouille ride at Rope Drop. As well this drop off point puts you right by Beach and Yacht Club and the Boardwalk.

Pros:

Skyliner to 2 parks and basically 5 resorts as well as the International Gate entry.

Cons:

Would be nice if there were regular rooms options in the other themed sections and not all family suites.

This hotel is one of my favorites! We have stayed here twice now and love the accommodations for families. The suites are amazing with two bathrooms and plenty of space for everyone! The Nemo pool is so fun and the cozy cone pool is secluded. The theming here is BEYOND all other hotels. The addition of the skyliner makes it a value resort with Deluxe transportation!

Pros:

Skyliner, Family suites, theming great for families with kids, pools

Cons:

Single rooms far away from everything

We absolutely loved staying at the Art of Animation! It's so well themed, you are submerged in Disney. We stayed at the Lion King suites and it was absolutely beautiful & comfortable. The pools are great in the resort!

Pros:

The skyliner is so convenient.

Cons:

Limited food options.

Loved it. Our group of 5 had ample room in a Nemo suite, and the theming made it feel like we were staying in a big blue world. Staff went above and beyond to make my daughter feel special for her birthday. Loved being able to hop on the Skyliner and be at Epcot or the Studios in minutes. We would absolutely stay here again.

Pros:

Gorgeous theming. Access to the Skyliner makes travel a piece of cake.

Cons:

None that I can think of.

Incredibly immersive resort. It boasts the largest pool on Walt Disney World property, along with two additional pools which are generally a little quieter. The Landscape of Flavors food court has been voted one of the best quick service food courts in all of Walt Disney World. This is due to the large variety and high quality, for a good price. This resort has access to the skyliner which provides transportation to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios (Disney transportation is free to all hotel guests). It is also close to the water parks if you are planning on visiting those. Although this resort is considered a value resort, it has many qualities of a moderate resort. I would recommend this resort for families with kids, larger families (up to 6), fans of The Lion King, Cars, Finding Nemo/ Dory, and The Little Mermaid (these are the room themes), and families planning on spending a lot of time in Hollywood Studios or EPCOT (the skyliner provides transportation to these parks). I recommended this resort for families up to six because a majority of the rooms are "family suites" and provide extra space with a separate bedroom and two full bathrooms, it comfortably fits up to six people. I have stayed at this resort two times, soon to be three, and have enjoyed every experience. I have had only positive cast member interactions.

Pros:

Skyliner access Largest pool on WWD property Great food court Immersive theming Accommodating family suites Arcade Fair pricing on regular rooms

Cons:

Family suites can be pricey

Love love love A of A! I've stayed there 2, about to be 3 times, and every time it's such an amazing experience! Our last stay, we ended up getting an upgrade to a Cars suite and it was amazing! While the little mermaid rooms are quite a trek, they were still nice!

Pros:

Skyliner access, amazing themes

Cons:

none!

We spent a week here this past April. It was our first time staying on property and we absolutely LOVED it!! We originally booked to stay at All Stars Movies, but was pixie dusted with staying in a Cars Family Suite! The theming of the entire resort was impeccable! Cast members were super friendly as always! The Drop off Pool Bar had some pretty tasty drinks too! We never had to wait very long for a bus to the parks or for the skyliner! Only downfall to this resort, was the building we were in was a good distance from the main building!

Pros:

Skyliner and Theming

Cons:

The distance from the main building
