Hello there Meredith, and welcome to planDisney!
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is such a wonderful place to stay during your vacation!
Cars and
The Little Mermaid were on repeat in our house for so many years, and it's so fun to see these movies come to life at our hotel!
I spoke to a helpful Cast Member, and they confirmed that the current hours for the
Cozy Cone Pool are 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM. These are subject to change during your visit, so I recommend verifying the hours at the front desk when you check-in for your stay. There are not any pools that are open 24 hours a day at the current time. Even though the Cozy Cone pool does not open until 10:00 AM, I recommend enjoying a slower morning and grabbing breakfast at
Landscape of Flavors before heading to the pool. You could head to the pool right at 10:00 AM, and still have the remainder of the day to enjoy whatever activities are on your agenda for the day!
We love to enjoy the pools on our arrival day since we usually aren't heading into the theme parks. Even if your hotel room isn't ready, I like to pack our swimsuits in a separate bag, and when you check-in, let them know you'd like to enjoy the pool before your hotel room is ready, and they should be able to assist. It's the perfect way to start our magical trip!
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip, Meredith! Please
come back to planDisney if we can help with anything else for your vacation.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
