Hi Ann!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question - I'm happy to help.
When you drop off your rental car at the
Car Care Center at Walt Disney World Resort, you’ll be happy to know that they offer a complimentary shuttle service to all Disney Resorts, including
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. Even though Art of Animation might not be listed as a standard shuttle stop, no worries—just give them a call, and they’ll schedule a shuttle to take you back to your resort. The shuttle service is available on demand, so it’s best to schedule it in advance. This service is super convenient and available during the Car Care Center’s operating hours. Once you drop off your car, the shuttle will pick you up and whisk you away to your resort, where you can dive back into your vacation fun.
Speaking of Art of Animation, here’s a fun little tidbit: Did you know that this resort has the largest resort pool in all of Walt Disney World?
The Big Blue Pool, themed after
Finding Nemo, holds over 308,000 gallons of water! Not only does it have underwater speakers playing fun music, but it’s also a perfect spot to unwind after a day at the parks.
As for the rental car itself, having one at Walt Disney World can be a real lifesaver! While
Disney Transportation is fantastic, a car gives you the flexibility to explore not just the parks but also other nearby attractions, like
Disney Springs, or even venture off-property. Whether you’re heading out for an early morning breakfast reservation or need to make a quick grocery run, the freedom of having your own wheels makes your stay even more convenient.
So, whether you’re making a splash at Art of Animation or heading off on an adventure, Disney’s got you covered every step of the way—right down to the shuttle ride home!
