    On our check-out day at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, can we continue using the resort pools after checking out? If so, are complimentary pool towels still available for guests after check-out?

    Hi Ronald!

    Welcome to planDisney!  You've been planning and counting down, and now the big day is almost here!  I’m sure you’re excited for your upcoming stay at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and all the fun that awaits at Walt Disney World Resort.

    As a Guest at Art of Animation, you’ll be able to enjoy three amazing pools - the Cozy Cone Pool, Flippin' Fins Pool, and The Big Blue Pool.  Each is big on fun theming for kids and kids at heart!  And here’s the best news: you can access the pools and other resort hotel amenities on your departure day, even after you have checked out of your room!  In fact, you’ll be able to enjoy all the great benefits of staying at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection through the end of your checkout day.  If you have luggage to store, you can drop it at Bell Services after checking out of your room until you're ready to leave later in the afternoon or evening.

    At the resort hotel pools, you'll have access to complimentary towels, and complimentary life jackets will be available for young swimmers on a first-come, first-served basis.  I'd also suggest checking the recreation schedule during your stay for poolside games or activities, which are typically found at The Big Blue Pool.  Speaking of The Big Blue Pool, keep in mind that you can grab poolside snacks or drinks nearby at The Drop Off Pool Bar.  Looking for a bigger meal?  I'd suggest mobile ordering from Landscape of Flavors and taking it to enjoy at one of the pools while you soak up the last few hours of your Disney vacation!

    I hope this information has been helpful, Ronald, and that you have a most magical time at Walt Disney World later this month!  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!

    Cheers!
    Kristi
