This is a fun resort ! We had great service from so many happy cast Members. Although the resort is big, there are plenty of hidden gems . It’s definitely my favorite Value Resort .

Hamad Z

What a great resort the rooms was so big and comfortable excellent stuff , so fun in there and love the music under the water nemo pool in general is peefect

Maddison Norris

The Little Mermaid rooms are quite far from the cafeteria , shop and bus stops especially when it's hot. Apart from that no complaints - the room is decorated so well and the smaller pool was lovely.

Melissa Olsen

This resort is very beautiful but very basic. I love the pool area and the food is delicious. I ate a fantastic vegan meal !! This is a great affordable getaway!!

Paul Cunningham

Great value for Disney. Fun decorations to the room, 3 pools and grounds. The lobby drawings are cool. Cafeteria is nice. Nemo, Cars, and Lion King have 1 bedroom, 2 bath, sleep sofa and Murphy bed.

Jenn ❤️☀️???????????????? B

We love this resort . The pool is never super crowded even though the resort is large. The food is good and the staff is top notch. We’ve been in Nemo & Cars building and loved it.

Carmen Hopper

Great resort ! Pool is amazing. Only issue was room we were in had NO cell phone signal. My phone kept saying No service. Which meant I couldn't work and was able to enjoy my family the while time...

Hugo H

1 of the nicest most enjoyable place that I have had the opportunity to stay at. The decor was priceless. I truly felt like I was in the movie . The room was top notch. Not 1 complaint. Highly recomend

Jessica Legner

Very cute place. Love the animation wall that shows the sketches. Each building has a different theme. The rooms are a great size for a family with a few kids. Overall great hotel .

C. Price

Awesome resort and the staff is awesome. Make sure you are at the bus stops early for your park venue. Only con, there is no resort transportation. Be prepared to walk!

April Martin

Loved the family suites . Had a great cafeteria , so colorful and clean . Fun activities at the main pool. Loved walking around and looking at all the theming. Highly recommend.

Kathryn Hall

If your kids love the movie "Cars" take them here! They have a whole Radiator Springs section that looks just like the town . It was really cool to see!

Julie Lucas

Great hotel for the price. Nice Nemo pool . Food was better than expected. Nice shopping too. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Need bug spray if you are hanging at the pool or outside.

Irene Caamaño

We stay here for a week and the experience was really good. The room was a little far (the little mermaid one) but it was nice. The bed was hard as hell but we were so tired...

Clarissa McDaniel

Loved staying in a family suite in the Nemo building. The room was huge and having a second bathroom was awesome. Great theming throughout the resort .

Justin Robinett

Freshly painted and looking very nice. Pools were great! Only issue was my band was deactivated before 11am checkout

Sean Menefee

Great customer service as always, and if you're an animation nerd, this hotel has some amazing artwork to check out.

Marie Peters

Cars Family Suite has amazing attention to detail. If you have a Cars lover in the family he/she will go gaga over the room!! Cozy Cone pool is nice and quiet . Bldg 1 & 3 are near cafe/buses.

Aljon Go

Carnivores and Vegetarians ! Try building your own burger or salad at the food court (Landscape of Flavors)! So many options and combinations! Very yummy indeed!

Renata Fanton

AWSOME! The little mermaid room is soooo cute and has a lot of pretty details! And i love how the wifi works in all resort !

Rich Poore

Love the room- free wifi - stay in a family suite for great convenience to lobby area! Beds could be more comfy , but still a great bargain

Paige Tocco Terracciano

Love the counter service; some unique dishes plus many classics, including a create your own pasta choice. Gluten free selections also available.

????Kara S.????

The pool bar serves great drinks but they are expensive ....worth it while kids swim and you can relax those blistered feet while watching a late movie by the pool.

????Kara S.????

Pizza is great here, and is served until midnight for those returning late. You can also use bananas and muffins for "snack " or "desert " and keep them in your room for quick breakfast .

John D

Make use of online check-in and skip the looong lines at check-in time! They just hand you your key cards and map, point you in the right direction and you're done. It's a no-brainer.

John D

The. Family suites are great! 2 bathrooms , sleeper couch , Murphy bed, master bedroom, 2 tv 's, fridge , microwave, etc. Themed plazas are beautiful. WiFi is working better but cell reception dismal.

Matthew Phillips

Family suites are the ideal option for families with young children. Since the resort is so new, it compares favorably with most moderate resorts .

Christine Rink

Great resort . Don't stay in little mermaid building 8 unless you're ready for a hike . Lion king suites are freaking rad. I loved my experience except for the long walk.

Derek W

The guest shop sells the cheapest alcohol 12.95 for a bottle of Once Upon a Vine. (Cheaper than single food court prices) Ask 4 an opener they have one at the counter. Don't buy and opener.

Francisco Cardenas

Amazing logistics airport to hotel . People are VERY nice. Food is so so. Feels like a lot of creativity surrounds you.

Will Salsedo

Great resort . Use the bus to get to parks . Food is a little $$$ so I took the family to Pop Culture resort across the bridge better selection and $$. All in all 4 stars.

Shawn Bonneau

Nice Resort if you are traveling with a large party - Nice and roomy if you're traveling as a couple or solo - Cars side looks awesome! (WaltCast Podcast)

Carol

Don't let them put you in building 8 Ariel building unless you like walking 10 min to get to food and lobby. I walked to Pop Century for food and transportation. A great place for food.

D. Scott

Love staying here. It's our second time with the kids and they love it. The pool is great!! Cell service was fine for this Verizon customer.

Brenton Marcom

A great themed hotel ! It is very spread out, so it takes a bit to walk to your room for some rooms.

Gabriel Nappi Carvalhaes

Brand new facilities, 24h laundries everywhere, but attention to the little mermaid rooms , they are almost 10 minutes away from the lobby

A

Wonderful resort . Bus pickup ran smooth, good dining hall , big blue pool were all great.

Chris Sherman

Love the underwater music in the Nemo pool !! They also have a kids DJ that entertains the kids and has games for them to play.

Jeany Sanchez

Stay in the Cars wing! I love it and I can't wait to stay in the art of Animation resort with our family!

Jamie Moose

This is a great resort for kids. They'll love the themes and the activities will keep them busy

GoLacey Go

Lion King suites Rule!!! Everything is clean , little mermaid rooms are a little run down, but great pools and food!

Kike

The vending machine on the building #6 always gets jammed never go twice, if your purchase is stuck simply go to the lobby and they'll get your money back as easy as that!!!

Elizabeth

This place is so cool. We didn't stay here so I can't comment on the rooms, but the resort itself is so fun.

Erika Zapata

Underwater speakers at the main pool! Will try it when weather gets better :-)

Ayaz Hyder

There is absolutely no cell signal inside the rooms in this resort and the wifi has been very shaky.

Eating WDW

They have fun resort-themed Coated Crisp Rice Treats, but hold off for a freshly made one in the parks ! Read more

Donna Gow

We got home from Magic hours at 1.45am and were starving. Everything closes at midnight! We ordered Dominos but it was a hassle

Peter Cimino

Web in the food court make sure you shout Sharkbait! All cooks must shout OooHaha! From the movie Finding Nemo! It's quite a hoot!

Zach Morrow

I have Verizon with 5 bars of 4G LTE service. Not sure what the others are complaining about. Probably AT&T. great resort for guppies!

Dena Wilkins

This is a great resort !! The Nemo pool is the best! You can even hear music under the water!
