Hi Terence!
Welcome back to planDisney.
It's always a pleasure to assist my fellow guests from the UK, and I'm happy to see that you are ready to book your Walt Disney World holiday for next year!
I have looked at Disney's Art of Animation Resort for August 2025. I can see availability for a
Little Mermaid Standard Room for the first half of August, but the
Free Dining & Drinks offer is not offered at that time, at that resort. Would you consider a different Disney Value Resort hotel?
Disney's Pop Century Resort has availability up until 17th August, including a free Quick-Meal per guest per night, as long as you purchase a package including your room and park tickets for everyone.
You may upgrade your Quick-Service Meal to a
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan for an additional cost of £48.99 per adult, per night, and £19.99 per child, per night. (
These prices are correct when writing, but could be subject to change.). This upgrade will give you two Quick-Service Meals and one Snack per night, and the Resort Refillable Mug. You have a lot of flexibility with this - and may use your Meals in any way you please - maybe more on some days, and fewer on another, and your Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan will be valid from your day of check-in until midnight on the day you leave.
Disney's Pop Century Resort is located next door to Disney's Art of Animation Resort, and shares a
Disney Skyliner station with that resort too. The Skyliner is such a cool way to travel around, and is a smooth and comfortable ride, giving you access to EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and other resort hotels - Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney's Riviera Resort if you fancy visiting those during your stay, maybe to try out different restaurants.
The three other Disney Value Resort hotels seem to be available during the full month of August 2025 -
Disney's All-Star Music Resort,
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort and
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, including the Free Dining & Drinks offer.
The availability of all rooms is subject to change, so please give our helpful Disney Cast Members a call on UK freephone number 0800 169 0730, and they can provide you with all the most up-to-date information, so you can go ahead and make your plans for your holiday. They will also assist with upgrading to the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan if you would like to do that.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We are always happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World!
