Here is an honest review and close up look atDisney Worldnewest hotelArt of Animation Hotel.
If you are looking specifically at the family suites, dont missDisney World Hotels for Families of 5+.
The theming is done really well.
It is easy to use and starts the magic right at the airport!
Gift Store
The gift store is open late and offers some good shopping for character themed souvenirs.
Arcade
The arcade islarger than some of the other value resorts.
There are a fair number of choices that will keep kid engaged for a while.
There was always plenty of seating and the tables were cleaned fairy quickly.
They have myleast favoritefood of all the value resorts!
They have a huge emphasis onhealthy food.
Dont get me wrong Ilovehealthy food, but this wasnt just healthy choices they were not really good choices.
What it was missing!
There are lots of fun things to look at in the area just rememberno climbing.
Finding Nemo Family Suites
TheNemo family suites are the most convenient to the food court and transportation.
They also surround the main pool.
However, they are more crowded and could get a little noisy.
The rooms are all beautifully themed with Nemo in a pallet of blue.
For one it is pretty much just 2 slides (one tunnel and one flat one).
Cute, but pretty useless.
Nemo Pool
The Nemo pool is the largest and is located in the middle of the resort.
The pool hosts different games and activities throughout the day(kids can win prizes too!
).The other draw is that the pool hasunderwater speakers pretty cool!
Thetheming cant be beat just beautiful!
Lion King Family Suites
The Lion King Family Suites just might beperfectly situated.
They are almost as close as the Nemo Suites, but without the pool noise.
We loved walking under the iconic Lion King scene above each morning as we headed to the bus.
Lion King Play Area
The Lion King Play Area was actually my favorite.
Lion King Movies Under the Stars
All Disney resorts play Disney movies under the star.
Look at your Guide for current movies and show time.
Resorts all play different Disney movies.
Radiator Springs Family Suites
The Cars Family Suites are far away on the right end.
Which is a shame, because thearea is amazingly cute.This is also a 10-15 minute walk from the buses.
Should I Stay at Art of Animation Hotel?
Honestly, Im torn.
There are some really cool things, and some things that really bother me.
Plus, because it is avalue hotelitdoesnt qualify for good promotional pricing.
So here are the main points you decide.
