Hi Vanessa,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
The Little Mermaid standard rooms at Disney's Art of Animation Resort do have mini-refrigerators. I stayed in a Little Mermaid standard room on a visit in October and was incredibly happy with the room. The resort is lovely with a food court that has nice selections and a gift shop where I picked up some trinkets for my girls.
Hopefully, your visit will occur during a time of year when the weather will permit pool time. The Big Blue Pool at this resort is simply AMAZING! I love the decor at this resort as well and could spend quite some time just wandering around taking in the larger than life characters.
Since this resort only offers
Walt Disney World® Bus Service transportation, you may want to consider using a taxi or Uber if you have early morning breakfast reservations. If we have 8:00 a.m. breakfast reservations and we cannot access the Resort Monorail, we have used both taxi and Uber services in the past. Also be sure to download the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. The "Get Directions" feature can help you navigate the parks.
Vanessa, I trust that you are going to love Disney's Art of Animation Resort!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs.
Donyell
