We had a fantastic time, really nice resort,we love Disney and definitely will go back soon.
It’s a nice resort for families, my kids definitely had fun. It’s very colorful and its our favorite Disney resort for kids. They have three themed pools and play area for the kids. My two girls had a blast, we stayed in the little mermaid room and it was awesome. We cant wait to go back. it’s a very beautiful resort to relax at.
Tips for Families
Lots of photo opportunities so don’t forget your cameras ,Disney resorts can be a bit pricey I suggest you stock up on snacks at the store before heading to the resort.

Disney prices and experience
We stayed in the Little Mermaid value rooms. The rooms are small hotel rooms, my hubby whacked his elbow on the bathroom door the first night. But, there are many nice touches that make this a fantastic hotel for a short stay. For example, there is a retractable clothesline across the top of the tub to dry your swimsuits. Also, great service. I asked for extra towels at the front desk and they were delivered before I walked back to my room. The shuttles are the best way to get around. We stayed 4 nights, then 6 nights off site while we enjoyed Orlando’s other attractions. Book with AAA for the same price, but some added perks, like storytime with a princess.
Tips for Families
Use the dining plan and eat as many “counter service” credits as possible at Landscape of Flavors (at the resort.)

Our family is crazy for this fabulously themed Disney value hotel!
We stayed in the Nemo suites at Art of Animation. 4 families in all, sharing 2 suites. The kids loved the Nemo themed pool with a jellyfish sprayground and underwater music! We all enjoyed the impeccable service, including some very creative “mousekeepers”. The food court had plenty of choices, although it could be sluggish at dinner-rush time. We also enjoyed the convenience of having an on-sight laundromat. Other highlights were nightly pin-trading and poolside movie night.
Tips for Families
Staying in a suite is a great way to save money. You get a mini-fridge and a microwave and seveal local grocery stores deliver. Have breakfast in your room each day! You are allowed to bring food into the parks, so you can even pack a picnic lunch if you want! The Nemo suites are closest to the food court, concierge, and transportation. They also have the coolest pool. Suites are pricier than other rooms, but they can often be shared with extended family.

Awesome New Resort
This hotel is perfect for little ones at Disney World. It’s very new so everything is bright and clean. The pools and Splash Pads are awesome. There are tons of photo opportunities. We just spent some time walking around the resort and taking pictures in front of statues. They have a cafeteria that’s fantastic. They have an arcade. The buses take you to each Disney Park and back. The only thing that bothered me was that our hotel room was soooo far from the bus stop. So, if we came back at night (like after the fireworks show), it was difficult to get my 4 year old to the room. He was really tired and sometimes I had to carry him. I wish I had brought my own stroller instead of renting one at the park.
Tips for Families
Bring your own stroller that you can carry on the bus. That way you won’t have to carry heavy kids to and from the bus stops. Bring your own umbrellas/ponchos. They are expensive at Disney World.

Got lost in the Magic!!!
My family and I stayed at this Disney Resort in early August and will definitely stay there again! Our little mermaid room was wonderful and we didn’t mind the long walk to the lobby because their courtyards are pure magic!
Tips for Families
Book a Nemo suite if you have family members with mobility issues.
