Question

Answer 1

Hello Artletis!

You can most certainly dine at Landscape of Flavors while waiting for your room at Disney's Art of Animation Resort to be ready. You can also take a dip in the Big Blue Pool or even head into the theme parks. When you check-in, you'll be given your Key to the World Card, which serves as your room key, park tickets, and dining plan card. You can begin using your Disney Dining Plan credits and park tickets right away, even if your room is not ready. The front desk can text you with your room number when it's ready, too!

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Have a most magical day,
Ashley
