Hi Laura!
Walt Disney World has so many wonderful resorts it can be hard to choose!
I was at the
Art of Animation Resort in June and it is amazing! The Big Blue Pool is the best pool I've ever seen. Not only is it expansive, complete with a kids splash area, but you can actually hear Nemo and Dory under the water.
The family suites are impressive and it is the perfect solution for a family who wants room to spread out and the comfort of home while on vacation. SInce parents will have a separate Master Bedroom and there are two bathrooms, families can enjoy their vacation together without being on top of each other. The food court is also amazing, I particularly like the Build Your Own Greek Yogurt Bar. The theming is also wonderful, with Little Mermaid, Lion King, Cars and Finding Nemo, it is all of kids favorites.
I highly recommend Art of Animation.
Port Orleans has a romantic look and feel of New Orleans and Louisiana. You can have carriage rides throughout the resort and enjoy walking around the beautiful property. Your daughter would also love the new Royal Princess Rooms at Port Orleans with the elaborately decorated room, complete with fiber optic fireworks on the headboard. You will need to request that room specifically if you would like it.
I think you are going love both of them!
Magically,
Stacy
