Disney’s Art of Animation Resort

Walt Disney World’s Art of Animation is Disney World’s newest Value resort.

The theme of the resort is straight out of some of Disney’s most famous animated movies: Cars, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and The Little Mermaid. Each movie has its own section with big icons from the movies and buildings painted to match.

Art of Animation offers four person rooms and family suites.

The four person rooms are located in the Little Mermaid section.

The Little Mermaid section has the typical Disney Value exterior facing room doors.

Transportation

Bus transportation is available to all Disney World guest areas. Those heading to the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs and the Water Parks will use the bus system. 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. The Skyliner Station sits on the bridge over Hourglass Lake. Disney’s Pop Century Resort sits on the other side of the lake. The Skyliner will whisk you to Disney’s Hollywood Studios or EPCOT.

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

Overnight Parking is $15.00 per night at the Disney World Values. Note this charge is initiated for all nights of your stay either by telling the front desk that you have a vehicle when checking in or by using your room key/Magic Band to enter the parking lot. If you will not be parking every night (say you have a rental car for just a dat or so) coordinate this with the front desk.

Our Thoughts

MDT Approved

This Disney Resort Hotel is a Military Disney Tips Approved Resort!

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!
