Hello Kathryn and thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with some great questions about your January/February 2018 stay at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
I'm quite sure you're going to enjoy a
splashtastic time at all 3 of the
Pools at Disney's Art of Animation Resort and of course you'll be able to create a huge splash at
The Big Blue Pool which is the single most largest pool on Disney property!
Disney Cast Members are simply
Wild About Safety which is why all Resort pool hours are subject to seasonal change. However upon check-in to Disney's Art of Animation Resort the Cast Member assisting will be happy to provide a Resort pool itinerary which should include current pool hours and the scheduled pool recreation program; generally speaking most Resort pool hours are 9am - 10pm daily and to help plan your Disney day pool times are usually found clearly posted nearby to the pool entrance.
To the best of my knowledge the extra magical experience of
Dine with an Imagineer at Hollywood Brown Derby is not presently included within the Disney Dining Plan.
At present it's tricky for me to predict what the schedule will be in January 2018 for
The Music of Pixar Live! and the
Music of Pixar Live! Dining Package, so my best advice for you is just to keep frequently checking back for updated information.
Have a great Disney day.
~ Jane
