Art of Animation is Worth it!

I took a trip this past Summer, obviously, to WDW for 9 days. I got the complete pleasure to stay at the Art of Animation Resort. It is fantastic and if you haven't stayed their yet you should! I've been to WDW 32 times and counting and this resort, by far, is my favorite, It is not that pricey and completely made me feel like I was on a magical fun-filled vacation(not that the other resorts don't of course). It had a large arcade full with great consoles, some I've never seen before. Ok' now I stayed at the Nemo area and when I went it was either that or Cars so I chose Nemo. It was incredible. The pool by far was excellent. It is the largest pool at any Disney resort and has an underwater sound system! The eating options were excellent and the gift shop was great. It was very well themed and really immersed you! It is a fantastic resort and I definitely it!

Welcome @ZwaggMouzz to wdwmagic.... I agree! I love AOA!

Welcome! We had a split stay at AOA/POP in September & we absolutely loved AOA! My DD4 fell in love with the LMR & the Nemo pool. The only thing that I would say that they need to improve upon is the bus service. It was much more efficient at POP!

Was there 2 weeks ago, stayed in the Cars Suite, loved it!! The only thing I would add, something to Landscapes, would be Mac & Cheese for the kids. Went out to walmarts & got it to go w/ DD's powerpack which she loved, but she just needed some M&C to make it perfect, she loved the cheese pizza's too!!
You have to try the everything brownie, boy do I wish I had one right now!!
I did not see anything wrong with the bus service, but of course we were in a slow season.

I'm staying there in about 3 weeks, and your review has got me even more stoked to get there.

So glad to read your report~ We are staying at the AOA the end of April in a Lion King Suite! Does the AOA have its own buses or do you share with another resort?

They have their own & They do not share with anyone.
I have heard that people going to Pop Century will get on AOA buses & walk over the bridge to their resort & visa versa, if one of the others buses comes before the others or if one was too full, this happens alot at nighttime.

I haven't stayed there, but I have been wanting to.
