I stayed in the Little Mermaid room with my family and it was great! The room was a little smallish but everything is clean and new. The pools were great! My only complaint is the Little Mermaid buildings were a long walk from the main building where the resort dining and buses were located.

Seriously, who goes to Disney to stay in a room, why pay for the fancy ones when your out at the parks most of the time. We always stay at value resorts and they have always impressed up. Disney is to big to let anything really fail. The amount of terrible reviews compared to great just shows to me that... More

Excellent, a must for the 10 and under crowd. Everyone friendly and it felt like they really wanted you to have a magical vacation. We asked for and stayed in the Lion King section, spoiled to say the least, how will we ever stay in a regular room again. We usually opt for a DVC villa but this fits the... More

We stayed at Disney's Art of Animation this past week and absolutely loved it! The room was wonderfully decorated and definitely put you in a good mood. The shower was my ultimate favorite! We had the Little Mermaid room and the shower was painted like her cave of treasures....awesome!!!! The room was very colorful and welcoming. Upon arriving, we went... More

I can't say enough good things about this wonderful family hotel! We stayed in the Nemo suites. The room was new, modern, spacious, and the theming was so great! My children loved the Murphy bed and having two bathrooms was so helpful. Mouse keeping was great and everyday when we got home they left little surprises for the kids. The... More

We stayed at this resort prior to our Disney Cruise and it is amazing! We always stay at Disney's value level reports as we spend all our days at the parks so for us it was perfect! As usual the theming of the resort is second to none. Everything is larger than life and focuses on several different disney films.... More

We stayed in the Finding Nemo section of the resort. It was the best location and the rooms were fabulous. all the staff were very friendly and helpful. No need to rent a car. Transportation to and from the parks was frequent and easy. Restaurant/ cafeteria was ok, but much better than other economy resorts.

We chose this hotel for our first disney trip and weren't disappointed. Our 7 year old loves the pools and the theming which is everywhere. It's worth taking an hour to get some shots next to the larger than life characters dotted about the different sections of the hotel. Our little mermaid room is a little bit on the small... More

I live in the central Florida area and stayed at WDW's Art if Animation to visit with good friends vacationing with the mouse. Upon arrival check-in was busy, but quick. The staff worked the lines to make check-in as painless as possible and that was nice. We were given a room in the Ariel section on the far side of... More

Really enjoyed stay. Stayed in the Little Mermaid section. We were there for nine days and the walk to the main building was not bad at all. Service was good as expected. The resort holds 6000 people and stays booked. Staff were friendly. Bus service was great as always. Food was good. For all the complainers; Disney is no place... More
