Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Cavelle!
I think you are going to
love Disney's Art of Animation Resort. You'll see larger-than-life scenes from your favorite Disney movies, and the colorful lobby is so beautiful. One detail I was so impressed with is how the landscaping is designed to specifically reflect the theme of each particular area of the resort. Be sure to also dine at the Resort Hotel's Quick-Service dining location,
Landscape of Flavors. It's one of the best!
At this time,
Disney Dining Plans can only be added to
vacation packages that include a
stay at a Disney Resort Hotel and theme park tickets. It is not possible to add a Dining Plan if you have purchased your tickets separately. However, you will still be able to enjoy all the incredible restaurants and snacks that Walt Disney World has to offer. Although many Guests love the Disney Dining Plans and they can be a great value, my family has found that often a Dining Plan doesn't fit the way we eat when we vacation, so we usually choose to pay for our meals as we go.
Be sure to try out the
Disney Skyliner transportation system, which will provide easy access to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
Epcot from Disney's Art of Animation Resort. I had the opportunity to try Disney Skyliner for myself this past weekend and I was so impressed with what an efficient means of travel it is.
Please stop by the Moms Panel again if you have any additional questions as you
plan your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Enjoy your stay!
