Rooms

There are 2 categories of rooms here: standard rooms and family suites. Family Suites come in 3 themes: Lion King, Disney Cars, and Finding Nemo. Standard rooms are themed to the Disney classic, The Little Mermaid. The majority of rooms at this hotel are family suites.

Room Categories

  • Little Mermaid Standard Rooms - about 270 square feet and come with 2 queen beds or 1 king bed. Rooms have views of the courtyard, pool or parking area. There’s no way to reserve a king bed room specifically but I can enter a request for one. Sleep 4 adults + 1 child up to age 3 in a crib.

  • Family Suites - about 560 square feet with views of the courtyard, pool, or parking area. Finding Nemo-themed family suites cost more than other suites because they are closest to the feature pool, lobby, and dining. You have the option of booking an unassigned family suite where Disney will choose a room for you, based on availability. You’ll save money by going with this option, however, odds are you will get a room in Lion King. Each section of Art of Animation has its own pool, plus there’s a main pool for the entire resort. However, Lion King does not have a pool, it has a playground instead. You can, of course, use any pool at the resort no matter which section you’re staying in. Family suites sleep up to 6 guests. Family suites at Art of Animation Resort have 1 Queen Bed 1 Double-Size Sleeper Sofa and 1 Double-Size Table Bed.
