The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Food Choices

The food at Landscape of Flavors was surprisingly good! I particularly enjoyed the fresh omelet made to order each morning, which added a special touch to our breakfast routine. We even treated ourselves to a large pizza for lunch one day, and it was more than enough to satisfy our family of five. It felt like a great value, especially considering the quality of the food available.

Perfect for Kids

The resort is incredibly family-friendly, designed with kids in mind. We stayed in a Pixar car family suite with great car themes that delighted my children every morning. Each time we walked by, they laughed and waved to their favorite cars like Lightning McQueen. The themed atmosphere really engaged them and enriched our vacation experience.

Spacious Family Suite

Our Lion King family suite was fantastic for accommodating our group. The suite featured two full bathrooms which made getting ready for our park adventures each day efficient and quick. The space was clean and mirrored the promotional images perfectly, providing plenty of room for our needs. It was a comfortable setup for our family of five.

Great Bathroom Facilities

I was really impressed with the bathrooms in our suite. The shower had excellent water pressure and the temperature control worked perfectly. It was a refreshing way to unwind after long days at the parks. With two bathrooms available for our family, there was never a rush during our morning routines.

Staying at this resort was a magical experience that transported my family right into the heart of Disney. The room was spacious and comfortable, perfectly meeting our needs, especially with two bathrooms and a convenient kitchenette. However, the overwhelming decor and noise from neighboring rooms detracted from the overall experience. Dining offered decent options but could become repetitive over time. Overall, it's a solid choice for a family-friendly Disney experience.

This hotel offers a unique Disney-themed experience, but it falls short in terms of comfort and service. The rooms have a fun decor, but noise from neighbors was bothersome during our stay. While the location is convenient for accessing transport, the dining options were disappointing and overall, the value for money is questionable given the issues we faced with cleanliness and service.

Our stay at the Art of Animation was quite enjoyable overall. The suite was spacious and perfect for our family of six, with enough room for everyone to relax. The convenience of the Skyliner made travel to the parks a breeze. However, the inconsistent service and some issues with the dining options were letdowns. Considering the high price, not everything lived up to expectations.

Rooms

The Nemo suite was spacious for our family of six, with two bathrooms making it easy to manage daily routines. It came equipped with a comfortable pull-down and couch bed, and the mattress quality was satisfactory. However, the Little Mermaid room was quite small for a family of four.

Service

6.0

Service was a mixed bag; while some staff were polite and helpful, others were not as accommodating, leading to a bit of frustration when dining. Also, the check-in process took longer than expected due to limited staff at the front desk.

Location

The hotel's location is fantastic with quick access to the Skyliner, making transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios very convenient. However, the Little Mermaid rooms are a bit far from the main amenities.

Dining

The dining options were somewhat disappointing, with limited variety that became repetitive over the course of our stay. My kids were often unwilling to eat what was offered, except for breakfast items.

Facilities

The pool area was enjoyable, particularly for the kids, and activities hosted by lifeguards were engaging. However, the food court could use some diversity in menu offerings.

I had a lovely stay at this Disney hotel, enjoying a great family atmosphere and comfortable, themed rooms. The pool area was fantastic, providing a fun place for the kids to play, but the dining options could use some improvement. The location was convenient for park access, although the bus service back to the hotel after a long day was frustrating at times. Overall, it's a family-friendly place with good value for money.

Rooms

7.0

The Little Mermaid room we stayed in was cute and comfortable, although it could benefit from better soundproofing as we could hear noise from other rooms.

We had a great experience overall at the hotel, with a beautifully themed suite and a spacious layout perfect for our family of four. The pool area was fantastic and really fun for the kids, plus we loved the nearby dining options, although the prices are on the higher side. Unfortunately, the beds were uncomfortable, which dampened our sleep quality and enjoyment of the parks.
