    I will be staying at Art of Animation at the end of April. Will the resort pools be open at this time of year?

    Welcome to planDisney, Sara! 

    I am so happy to hear from you, and hope that you are getting excited for your springtime visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth! I love that you’ll be staying at Art of Animation — this is one of my very favorite hotels at Disney World. I really love that I have access to the Disney Skyliner when staying at Art of Animation — be sure to utilize this serene form of transportation when you’re wanting to visit Hollywood Studios and EPCOT! 

    The pools at Art of Animation are heated and open year round, making Resort swimming a great activity for everyone no matter the time of the year! Now, please note that pools are subject to maintenance, Sara. I reached out to a Cast Member to see if they had any maintenance scheduled for any of the pools at Art of Animation and I was informed that there are none scheduled at this time, but it is pretty far out, so that could change. Please watch the official Pools at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort page as you near your trip for the most up-to-date information. 

    I highly recommend getting a reservation at Topolino’s Terrace for breakfast or dinner, Sara, since you’ll have access to the Skyliner! I love this restaurant at Riviera Resort, and hope that you’ll get a chance to dine there! 

    If you have additional quesitons, we would love to hear from you again at planDisney!
