Hi Alexandra,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel!
It’s exciting to hear you’re planning a vacation to Walt Disney World. We, too, loved staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas so I can understand why you had a great time.
When our son was around your son’s age, we loved staying at resorts that offered lots of fun for him at his age. We enjoyed our whimsical retro stay at
Disney's Pop Century Resort. I have a photo of my son and me atop the big bowling pin that I cherish. While we haven’t stayed at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort, I would breakout my Simba roar just to dine at
Landscape of Flavors and hakuna matata my way around a Lion King Suite. There are also themed suites for The Little Mermaid, Cars, and Finding Nemo. When we stayed at
Disney's Yacht Club Resort, we couldn’t get enough of
Stormalong Bay. As a
Disney Vacation Club owner at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, my son was thrilled to walk right over to Magic Kingdom Park (knowing he’d get the Dad Piggyback Transportation Service back to our room after a long, fun day).
Alexandra, I hope this helps with just a few ideas for your upcoming trip accommodations.
Enjoy the magic!
Jerry
