Hi, Monica! Thank you so much for POPping by with a question about your stay at the grooviest resort in town. Disney's Pop Century and Art of Animation Resorts are our favorite Value Resorts and have stayed there many times. You have actually figured out a great benefit to picking one of these as your home base. The Generation Gap Bridge that extends over Hourglass Lake connects these two resorts, giving you a super easy way to explore them both during your stay!
When you and your family head over to enjoy a meal at Landscape of Flavors in Disney's Art of Animation Resort, you are more than welcome to bring along your Rapid Fill mugs. The drink stations there, and actually at all of the resorts, will be able to scan your mugs to provide you with a pretty tasty beverage. Note, however, that this is only true for the drink stations at the resorts. At this time, Guests are not able to fill their Rapid Fill mugs in the theme parks, water parks, or Disney Springs.
Monica, if you plan to visit Disney's Art of Animation Resort several times during your stay, I have a couple of quick tips for you. When completing
Online Check-In for your stay, I recommend checking the Room Request area for the Lake View option. In my experience when this request is granted, we have been placed very close to the Generation Gap Bridge, making our visit across the lake very easy! Everything Pop Shopping and Dining offers some great dining choices (Pop Tarts Breakfast Sandwich!), but there are many unique items to be found at
Landscape of Flavors. I highly recommend the House-Made Vegetable Burger and all World of Flavors Shop entrees.
I hope you have a magical day, Monica, and please let us know if you have any other questions!
