Hi Yuichi,
Welcome to planDisney!
I love
Disney's Art of Animation Resort because it beautifully immerses you in the world of great Disney movies; one of my favorites is Disney’s The Lion King. During your trip, no matter what area of the Resort you’re staying in, make sure to visit the other areas to see the statues of the characters. This is the perfect activity for a pool or rest day!
Typically, at the Disney Resorts Collection hotel quick service locations around the Walt Disney World Resort, there are hot water stations. For Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the hot water option would be at
Landscape of Flavors near the beverage area in the center of the food court. To confirm, just head to the Landscape of Flavors once you check-in (you’ll be passing it on your way to your room). You’ll want to look around the beverage stations and close to the coffee, you should see the hot water. If for some reason you don’t see the hot water station, feel free to ask a Cast Member, they should be able to point you in the right direction or might be able to get a cup of hot water for you.
For golf,
Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Pro Shop and Clubhouse are located at
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa which is close to the Disney Springs area. There is complimentary taxi transportation to Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course for select Disney Resorts Collection hotels. You’ll want to stop by Guest Services to check if Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is on the list. If not, Hakuna Matata, there is also
Disney Watercraft Transportation from Disney Springs. From Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, you’ll want to catch the bus to Disney Springs and then take the boat from either The Landing or Marketplace to Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. From there, you’ll be able to visit
Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Pro Shop and Clubhouse for your souvenirs!
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation in March.
If you have any other planning or vacation questions, please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
