    “Finding Nemo”

    The Nemo building, closest to the main hall, is highly recommended. Additionally, accessing it via the Skyliner is comfortable. The rooms are family-type with two bathrooms, toilets, and sinks each. There is a guest laundry, making it ideal for long-term stays. The main hall has a food court with a wide variety of delicious menu items.

    “A cute hotel that is relatively cheap among the official Disney options.”

    During the two days of my stay, I stayed at this hotel, and for the remaining five days, I chose to stay at an unofficial Disney hotel to save money. Staying at an official Disney hotel allows for early entry, so if you're good at getting up early, you can navigate the parks quite advantageously. I was able to meet large characters from Ariel that were over 10 meters tall, and everything, including the rooms, was adorable!! I highly recommend staying there at least once. It was a bit disappointing that there weren't enough people at the entrance, leading to constant wait times, but other than that, it was a very good experience. It's easy to get to each park by bus or the Skyliner♪ It might be something common in the U.S., but there are no slippers, pajamas, or toothbrushes, so for those from Japan, don't forget to bring them!

    “Spacious even for a family of five! Comfortable to live in!”

    As the title suggests, the room is very spacious! It comfortably accommodates two adults, two elementary school children, and one preschooler. Our family stayed here for six nights. The hotel has a coin laundry (with a dryer) on the premises, and the room also comes equipped with a large refrigerator, making it suitable for long vacations. Since it is a Disney-owned hotel, you can order groceries from a nearby online supermarket (Garden Grocer) and have them delivered to your room! Ordering essentials like water, milk, breakfast cereal, and some snacks can make the trip more enjoyable both physically and financially. This hotel is highly recommended for families with small children!

    “Great short stay at Art of Animation”

    We stayed one night at Disney's Art of Animation Resort as a stopover before checking into Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter for the rest of our 10-day holiday. We’d actually booked this because flying a day earlier worked out significantly cheaper, and thought it would be a great chance to try the resort for a potential future stay—and we’re really glad we did. The theming is fantastic—really immersive and unmistakably Disney. Our toddler absolutely loved walking around the resort and spotting all the larger-than-life Disney characters on the way to the lobby, which became a highlight in itself. The service stood out straight away. The bell staff were wonderful, helping with our luggage and arranging for it to be transferred to our room and then on to our next hotel. The check-in staff were some of the best we’ve ever encountered—friendly, efficient, and especially great with our 2-year-old son, taking the time to engage with him and make him feel part of the experience. The resort itself was very clean and well maintained. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool as we were only there to grab dinner, rest, and head to the parks the next morning while our luggage was transferred over, but everything we saw was in great condition. The food court had plenty of quick and easy options—more on the fast-food side, which is exactly what we expected for a value resort. That said, there were some healthier choices available too, which was a nice touch. Our room (in the Little Mermaid section) was clean and a decent size for a value resort. It was quite a walk from the main lobby and pool—we were in one of the furthest buildings—but there was a smaller pool nearby, which would be convenient for longer stays. Overall, a great stay and a really positive first experience. We’d definitely consider staying here again, especially for a shorter trip or if travelling with young children.

    “Enjoy the Disney atmosphere! A hotel stay that kids will be completely satisfied with.”

    I was very satisfied staying with my 2-year-old child! The price is reasonable compared to other hotels, and the design of the front lobby and the atmosphere inside the hotel felt just like being in a Disney park, which was very exciting. The pool also had a lovely design, and we were able to have a wonderful time together. The food court was spacious, and it was great to have an environment where we could enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. The standard Little Mermaid room is a bit of a walk from the bus stop, so that’s something to be aware of, but overall, I found it to be very comfortable and satisfying. I definitely want to use this hotel again the next time I go to Disney.
