Family Suites

Suites are the answer for larger families! Each suite has a separate Queen bedroom, a double-size convertible table bed, a double sleeper sofa, living room, 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette. Plenty of room for the whole family!
Big Blue Pool

Skyliner Transportation

Be whisked away on Disney’s Skyliner transportation to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This mode of transportation is convenient and easy– in fact, it’s a breeze! (Quite literally; You’ll want a jacket on cooler days!)
Art of Animation Cons
No Table Service

Just as with any Value Resort, there aren’t any table service restaurants located at Disney’s Art of Animation resort. However, most guests are pleased with the variety of entrees offered at Landscape of Flavors; the spacious food court within the main building.
Value Resort; Moderate Pricing
Don’t grumble over the pricing just yet though– the family suites offer room for 6 guests which likely saves you from purchasing two separate standard rooms. Plus, you get the benefit of everyone together, sharing the same space AND two bathrooms!
Bus Transportation
Art of Animation has been known to have slower bus service. In fact, a helpful hint is to take the Pop Century bus after your park visit if you don’t see an AoA bus in sight. Thankfully, the newly added Skyliner should help ease bus transportation woes.
Should You Stay At The Art of Animation Resort?
If you don’t fit the typical “family of four” scenario– a family suite is a great option to keep everyone together! With 3 swimming pools on site, great variety in the food court, and plenty of storybook landscapes to explore, Disney’s Art of Animation is a great economical choice!
If you don’t need the additional room offered at Disney’s Art of Animation, consider staying at Disney’s All Star Movies Resort. You’ll still be immersed in larger-than-life decor featuring other Disney animated films at a lower cost!
