Hello again, Cindy! I'm hoping you find the answers you need when you visit us at planDisney!
When you mention staying at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort in a smaller room I'm assuming you're meaning a Standard Little Mermaid Room instead of a Family Suite. My family and I stayed in a Little Mermaid room a few years ago and we loved it so much. My now 7-year-old still begs to return to her Little Mermaid room, and while we've stayed at other
Disney Resorts Collection hotels at
Walt Disney World Resort since, she still wants to return to her old favorite!
I think you're going to be very happy with your accommodations at this Resort, and I just know you're going to love the convenience of being right on the
Disney Skyliner route! It's such an easy, quick, and enjoyable way to fly from your Resort hotel to a Theme Park like
EPCOT or
Disney's Hollywood Studios, or even another Resort hotel on the way.
When it comes to amenities within your Resort hotel Guest room, you'll find that Disney tends to provide everything to need to have a comfortable and magical stay, and if you can't find it in your Guest room, you might be able to find it close by! The Little Mermaid rooms at Art of Animation do in fact have a mini-refrigerator. We found this to be such a blessing during our trip, as we still had a little one who loved a cup of milk before bed. We ordered some groceries from an online vendor and had them delivered to the Resort. It was the first time we had ordered groceries for our Resort stay and it was such an easy process.
While the Standard Rooms do have other amenities such as a hairdryer, coffee maker and ironing board with iron, they do not include a microwave. However, there are microwaves in
Landscape of Flavors, the in-Resort dining area, that you are welcome to use if you need to heat something up. You can even bring your food from your Guest room and eat inside the dining area or out on the patio instead of walking back to your room.
I hope you enjoy every minute of your stay!
