Hiya, Christina, and welcome back to planDisney! I'm thrilled that we've become your trusted source for Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning advice! As you know, my Panelist pals and I are here and always happy to help our fellow Guests, just like you!
Christina, there are so many factors that affect availability at the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is popular for good reason - the incredible theming with larger-than-life decor and artwork makes you feel like you're part of the story! Availability can change between now and December, so I encourage you to keep checking on that last night. You might also consider moving to a different Resort hotel for the last part of your vacation. Many Guests enjoy this "split stay" option, as it allows them to experience multiple Resort hotels during their visit.
Bell Services at your hotel will gladly transfer your luggage to your new hotel for you while you're enjoying the day at the Disney Theme Parks, and you can go straight to your room and unlock the door with the
My Disney Experience Mobile App or your
MagicBand.
Did you know that your visit will be during the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays? This experience is included with your valid Disney Theme Park Admission, and you'll get to enjoy lots of seasonal food and beverage offerings, along with the nightly Candlelight Processional. This festival is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit!
Christina, I hope this is helpful as you continue to plan your vacation. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
