Hello and welcome to
planDisney, Cathy. I'm excited to see that you have a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth coming up in just a few short weeks. You are going to have so much fun!
Disney's Art of Animation Resort at Walt Disney World is such a fun place to stay. I think you will be happy to know that there are mini-refrigerators in every room at this resort. There is no need to request one. When you arrive at your room it will be already cold and waiting for whatever you'd like to fill it up with. I always like to bring some water and sodas for the room. It really does save quite a bit of money and it's just nice to have something in the room while you are getting ready for the morning. As for a microwave, this will depend on the type of room that you have booked for your vacation. If you are in one of the family suites, a microwave will also be provided in your room for you. If you are in a standard room (The Little Mermaid style rooms) your room will not have one. Typically, microwaves are not given out anymore due to safety reasons, however, it certainly doesn't hurt to ask at the front desk once you arrive. If the answer is no, don't fret because you'll still be able to use a microwave at
Landscape of Flavors, the resort's food court area. Toasters and microwaves are located in the food court area for Guests to use anytime the area is open which looks like right now that is about 7:00 a.m. until about 11:00 p.m. each day.
While you are staying at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, I hope you'll schedule some time in your itinerary to enjoy the
Big Blue Pool if you have a warm enough day. The Big Blue Pool is actually the largest pool at any of the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels. There are giant set pieces from the movie all around making this a really cute area to get some pictures! Also, near the Big Blue Pool is the
Drop Off Pool Bar which is a fun area to relax and pick up some snacks and drinks while you are enjoying the pool.
I hope you have a wonderful stay at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. If you have any other questions before your trip, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help.
Have fun!
Jackie H.
