Hello Madison! Welcome to planDisney!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a great place to call your “Disney home!” The larger-than-life statues of classic Disney characters are my favorite part of this special resort! The sketchbook décor outside of the hotels is also a great touch! To me, Art of Animation is the “Disney-est” of the Walt Disney World hotels! You made a great choice!
Yes, Guests with a Walt Disney World Resort vacation reservation can make dining reservations, including
Character Dining reservations, 60 days before their hotel reservation check-in date. You don’t need a vacation package (hotel and park tickets) to make your dining reservations.
Madison, be ready bright and early in the morning to make your Character Dining reservations! They are some of the most popular reservations at Disney World! Guests can begin making their reservations at 6:00 AM, but it doesn’t hurt to be ready around 5:45 AM. You really want to make sure you can secure those dining reservations! Be sure to have your credit card nearby, as some of the most popular character dining reservations require a credit card to hold the reservation.
I hope these planning tips add to the excitement of your vacation!
Dreams do come true!
