"We stayed for 8 days and 7 nights at the Art of Animation resort (King Triton side of The Little Mermaid area). For service, it was fantastic. The staff was amazing and helpful and room service always had something surprising for my kids when we got back to the rooms (e.g., setting her stuffed animals up on the bed or leaving Mickey-themed sunshades). Upon check-in, the kids got free treats and a pajama story time with Goofy, as well as..."

"The Cars Family Suite at Disney's Art of Animation Resort is easily one of the best stays at Disney. Our 7-night vacation was perfectly comfortable, featuring a great kitchenette and easy access to all 4 parks. The incredible Radiator Springs theming, stellar daily service, and Skyliner gondola rides made this an unforgettable trip. The resort’s wall paintings and movie-accurate details truly make you feel like you're stepping into Radiator Springs. The suite was perfectly sized for the family, and the..."

"We just wrapped up a stay at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, and despite running into a number of issues during our visit, I'm happy to give this place five stars. The bottom line: this is an outstanding value resort for families with kids. The theming is immersive and magical — our children were absolutely delighted from the moment we arrived. The larger family suites are a genuine perk for groups, the pools are fantastic, and the overall atmosphere captures..."

"We stayed here recently during our trip and we were blown away in every respect. The resort was terrific and our kids loved every second. Really was an amazing spot to unwind and recharge, along with having activities for the kids. The pool is awesome and the decorations (outside and in the rooms) between the different wings of the resort were great. Having a suite room was a game changer and allowed our family of four to have our own..."

"My favorite resort! After more than 20 visits, this is still the resort we always come back to. Art of Animation is like stepping into the imagination of the animators and it is incredible down to every detail. There's nothing like hearing "Welcome home" when you arrive -- and that's exactly what it feels like. The theming is immersive and gorgeous, featuring larger than life icons of favorite Disney animated movies. As an 80s baby, I really prefer the older..."

"We had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Little Mermaid section. The theming though out the whole resort was amazing and my kids really enjoyed it. While there my daughter lost not only one, but 2 teeth. The giftshop helped make that experience extra special. We also were Pixie Dusted by mousekeeping and that made our stay super special too. As always, Disney has top notch customer service. The only negative I have is that there is no microwave..."
