Hi Andrew!
Thanks so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is so fun - it's like stepping into some of your favorite Disney movies, including
The Lion King,
Cars,
Finding Nemo, and
The Little Mermaid. With larger-than-life characters from the movies decorating the courtyards of the buildings, it's one of the most amazingly themed resorts at Walt Disney World Resort!
When staying in The Little Mermaid rooms at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, you can find ice and vending machines located on every floor of the resort, near the elevators. Beverage and food vending machines alternate on each floor. You'll also be a short walk away from the main building, where you'll find
Landscape of Flavors, a Quick Service food court serving breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. With a large selection of American favorites, you'll also find several choices of Grab-and-Go items for a quick snack or a meal on-the-go.
I hope this helps with your planning. Have a magical day ! - Diane W.
