Oct 24, 2026Tired
Staying here currently and its been rough. We are on the bottom floor closet a side exit door which is closest to the restaurant. Its been almost impossible to sleep because the door is constantly banging shut. I understand there is a lot of foot traffic but if Disney can build life like replicas of Pandora and a planet from Star Wars, I feel like a slow close quiet door is definitely achievable. Fun hotel but stay away from room 5539 or any on the first floor by exit.

Oct 22, 2026Dirty rooms, no hot water, and a manager who accused us of lying
We expected the Disney standard when we booked Art of Animation. We got dirty rooms, a service failure that repeated for three days, and the worst guest-service interaction I’ve had in years. Day 1: Our rooms were very dirty and we had no hot water the entire first night. The resort refunded that night and promised daily housekeeping for the rest of our stay. Day 2: We got no housekeeping, supposedly because our Do Not Disturb sign was up. I had spoken with a manager earlier that day and confirmed we wanted service. Day 3: Again no service, even though our sign was not up and housekeeping had clearly been in the room (there was a fresh stack of towels on the bed). But our kids’ beds had no sheets. One of our children had an accident overnight, and we came back late after a full day in the parks with nothing for them to sleep on. Then there’s the manager, Blaise. I went to him needing one simple thing: clean sheets for my kids. Instead of an apology, he insisted our sign must have been up and that housekeeping would never enter if it were. When I pointed out that the sign wasn’t up and the fresh towels proved housekeeping had been in the room, he kept arguing and effectively called us liars. Housekeeping arrived about 30 minutes later to make the beds. That’s 30 minutes of exhausted kids waiting because a manager wanted to win an argument instead of solving a ten-minute problem. Disney charges premium prices and sells an experience built on magic and care. We got dirty rooms, a broken promise, and a manager who treated us as the problem. We came to Art of Animation expecting the Disney standard. After this stay, we will not be returning to this resort, and we’re seriously reconsidering Disney resorts altogether.

Art of animation- Animal King Suite SEN review - what you really should know
We are an experienced Disney visiting family with two SEN children. 8/13/42/44 We stayed at the art of animation resort in a lion king suite. Key points: - the rooms are beautifully themed - but the pull down beds and bed linen are very thin and uncomfortable and not at all suitable for SEN kids - the rooms DO allow pets so if you have severe allergies like we do, please beware - the skyliner is so smart and cool but beware you’ll queue for 20+ mins to even get on it if you’re trying to enter the parks for magic hours. - beware in August that outdoor pool facilities will be closed most afternoons due to storms / safety issues Our hotel on arrival was absolutely shocking. We had children with severe allergies and were not told the rooms were animal use rooms. In addition the room had been strongly bleached before our arrival and the smell was intense and over powering, We had to fight with the hotel to get a room move and they denied the use of bleach or any smell. It was really really strong, The hotel at night from a sound proofing point of view was absolutely terrible. I could hear people weeing above my head !! The toilet flushes were so loud they made you jump, it carried on ALL night. The hotel was really nicely themed outside and the main lobby too. Everything else though Inc the accommodation is pretty basic. We’ve stayed in much nicer Disney hotels.

A Fun resort at Disney World Florida
• Stayed at the Art of Animation Disney World Resort. I had a great stay in a standard room at the Little Mermaid units. Children like the room a lot. The room had very cute theme decorations . It had a sufficient amount of room. The bed was comfortable and there were many pillows. I liked the room layout. I especially liked the lighted makeup mirror. It is great for putting on eye makeup. The staff was very friendly and helped us when we lost a Magic Band and they honored our request to have a room near our other family members. The big pool was nice and warm. There is also a small pool near the Mermaid units. There are 4 sections in this resort. The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Cars and the Lion King. The Little Mermaid section is the furthest from the main building where the food court, shopping store, check- in area, and busses are located. The walk is a little long from the Little Mermaid rooms to the main building. If you have a problem walking, then I would suggest you get a room closer to the main building. I recommend this resort and stay here again.
