Hi Kelly! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this question!
You've picked a great place to stay during your visit!
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is themed to perfection and has some of the best Disney touches of any resort. If you are traveling with little ones, they are going to have a blast just walking around the property.
When staying at a
Disney Resorts Hotel, you have full access to the recreation offerings and amenities at the resort on your departure day. This includes the pools that are located here, along with the arcade, playground, and dining options. Many times, my family will plan out a resort day on the day we leave in order to have one last relaxing day. It's nice to just wake up, grab a bite to eat, and hang out by the pool. Since you won't have access to your room after checkout, you can utilize the restroom facilities in the main lobby to change out of your swimsuits and into the attire that you will be traveling home in.
During your stay, make sure to take full advantage of all the offerings at your resort. Movies Under the Stars takes place nightly at 8:30 PM at the
Big Blue Pool. You can cozy up outside and watch a Disney movie with the entire family. There are also campfire activities taking place in the Lion King section of this resort each night. You can start with roasting marshmallows and finish with an outdoor movie. When my family stayed here a few years back, we had the most amazing time together taking part in these special evenings.
Kelly, I hope you have a magical trip to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
