    Are there showers post-checkout at AoA so we can prepare for a late flight out of MCO? If we express or self-checkout, can we request bell services to collect our luggage from the room while we are out early for one last morning at the parks?

    Hi Yvette,

    You’re going to love Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. The theming is incredible, immersing you in the worlds of beloved Disney and Pixar films. From the Cozy Cone Pool's cabanas shaped like traffic cones to the stunning artwork in the lobby - where black-and-white concept sketches gradually transform into vibrant Disney characters - there’s magic around every corner.

    I’m happy to share that while the official check-out time is 11:00 AM, Guests can continue enjoying the resort’s amenities until midnight on departure day. I confirmed with a Cast Member that you can leave your luggage with Bell Services and pick it up when you're ready. If you’re planning some last-minute pool time, the Big Blue Pool has nearby changing rooms with showers, and towels are provided there. Just keep in mind that the other pools don’t offer towels, so you'll want to grab extras if you head that way.

    Resort activities are another highlight at Art of Animation! My kids absolutely love the "Find a Friend" scavenger hunt, where they search for a hidden photo prop and receive a fun surprise from the Front Desk. In the evening, don’t miss the campfire at Pride Rock from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, complete with marshmallow roasting. And if you’re like Nemo and love the water, check out the Big Blue Pool deck daily between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM for lively poolside games - we always have a blast!

    Yvette, I hope this helps with your planning. If you have any other questions, please let me know - I’d love to help make your stay fin-tastic!

    Have a wonderful stay at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
