Hi Jessica!
Welcome to planDisney.
I am sure you will love staying at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort - it's perfect for young families! There is so much to see, immersing yourselves in scenes from The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Cars, and The Little Mermaid. You can also make use of the Quick-Service restaurant Landscape of Flavors, which offers a wide choice of food to enjoy together.
The Big Blue Pool is spectacular, being the largest pool in Walt Disney World Resort, and is a wonderful place to relax away from the theme parks.
One amazing benefit of staying at this Disney Resort hotel is your access to the
Disney Skyliner! You will share a station with Disney's Pop Century Resort, and have easy transfers to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios (along with two other Disney Resorts hotels: Disney's Riviera Resort and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort).
If you take the Skyliner to
EPCOT, Disney's Beach Club Resort (for Minnie's Beach Bash Breakfast at
Cape May Cafe) is just a short walk away! It's the perfect way to get there, without any need for car seats for your children. The Skyliner begins operating an hour before Early Entry at the theme parks. As I don't know the date of your reservation, I can't confirm the time of Early Entry at EPCOT for that day. For the next couple of months it looks like it will be 8.30am which doesn't give you enough time if you can only board the Skyliner from 7.30am. Please check your My Disney Experience mobile app for park opening times, nearer the date of your visit, or maybe consider changing your reservation to slightly later so that you can use the Skyliner that day?
I would usually recommend using a Lyft rideshare for an easy way to get to your breakfast, but I'm not sure that car seats can be guaranteed. However, if you download the Lyft app, you can use it to book the Minnie Van™ Service that will provide two complimentary car seats (which are required for children under 6 years of age).
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We are always happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World.
