Transportation

Bus transportation is available to all Disney World guest areas. Buses to Epcot and Hollywood Studios can be limited or do not run during Skyliner operating hours.

Art of Animation is one of the resorts that has the Disney Skyliner gondola system for transportation to Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios.

The Art of Animation/Pop Century Skyliner Station is an end of line station. From here you can only ride to the Caribbean Beach Station, where you must get off.

When heading to the theme parks during the morning rush, you will have to wait in 2 lines. First at your Pop/AoA Station and then when you arrive at the Caribbean you will go to the back of the line waiting there!

The Caribbean Beach is the main Skyliner hub. From there you can board either of the other 2 lines which go to:

  • Disney Hollywood Studios
  • The Riviera Resort and Epcot

Our Thoughts

MDT Tested

This Disney Resort Hotel has not yet been Military Disney Tips Tested!

The Art of Animation along with the All-Star Music are the two Value Resorts that have family Suites. Prices for the suites are about $75 – $115 more per night here than at the All-Star Music.

If you can swing the price you’ll love these convenient suites, we do!
