Hi Sarah,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is such a fun place to celebrate the wonders of Disney and Disney•Pixar animated classics while enjoying themed rooms that make you feel you're a part of the animation magic.
One feature I love about Disney's Art of Animation Resort is the
Landscape of Flavors right there on site. It's like five fast casual restaurant offerings in one beautifully themed space. You can also take an easy walk to
Disney's Pop Century Resort to check out
Everything POP Shopping & Dining.
If you're looking for delicious table-service dining, I highly recommend
Sebastian's Bistro at the nearby Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. While the restaurant is close-by, there is no direct walking path that I'm aware of, so you'd be looking at driving or taking a ride share.
My best suggestion for the widest variety of best-place dining options is
Disney Springs, and you can make easy use of
Walt Disney World Bus Service. Some of my favorite dining experiences at Walt Disney World — The Edison, Paddlefish, Morimoto Asia, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and so many more — are located at Disney Springs.
Sarah, here's wishing you a magical stay and delicious dining.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
