    I would like to make a return trip and stay at the Art of Animation again. Are there any times of the year when they shut down the swimming pools?

    Hello, Sherry!

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort is such a fun place to stay! The Big Blue Pool is the largest pool on property and has state of the art underwater speakers so you can swim and dance under the sea! Although all of Walt Disney World Resort pools are heated so you can swim year round, there are times when a pool is closed for refurbishment. Usually, advanced notice is provided to Guests so they can plan accordingly. Several sites like AllEarsNet or TouringPlans post lists of closures that are frequently updated to include projected start and finish dates. I hope this helps!

    Happy Planning!
