    Every thing was perfect. We had a problem with the air conditioning and they respond immediately, gave us another room with an upgraded view and gave us a boucher for a 4 party lunch. The room was clean, the amenities at the pool for the kids were very nice, the access to all parks and hotels of Disney were easy from our hotel. Very nice vacations and memories with my kids. Recommended 100%

    I love Walt Disney world I’ve visited 3 times in my lifetime and always stayed at a value resort. This time I stayed at Disney Animation and we had a room in little mermaid building I did not like that we had to walk so very far to get to the main building where the food court, the front desk, the arcade and shopping and they offer no kind of shuttle service the walk from our room to the main building was 30 minutes. Disney can do better

    Fabulously colorful and fun to stay at. Skyliner (cable car) to Hollywood Studios and Epcot!, which itself was a lot of fun. 3 pools for kids. It was the best decision to stay there for a great Disney and Disney Parks experience.

    This was the trip of a lifetime--not only because we visited the Disney World theme parks, but when we got back to the hotel, the pool was open until 11PM and there were always activities for the kids to do throughout the day. We had "pool parties" with music and pool games, we enjoyed a movie "under the stars," and more! There are three pools and my kids wanted to swim in all of them. Our favorite is the "Nemo pool" because of the bar and snacks. Disney's Sky-liner is on the property. The Sky-liner takes you to Epcot or Hollywood Studios. Buses are readily available for Disney Springs, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. I highly recommend this resort ! 5/5

    The biggest problem was the housekeeping service. They never changed our sheets the whole week we were there. They only took the trash twice. They never cleaned the floor, and there were crumbs everywhere by the end of the week. The beds were comfy but the pillows were like rocks. There was no support of comfort in the pillows. This made it very hard to get a good nights rest.

    The resort has two pools. The big pool is in the center of the resort. Pool is always packed with kids and adults. Loud music plays during pool hours. The other pool is located by the Little Mermaid buildings. The pool is medium size, more quieter, and less crowded. My room was right in front of the pool and didn't hear noises. I got to the resort around 8:00 A.M. I didn't think I was going to be given a room so early since check in is at 3:00 P.M. The CM worked her magic and I was given a room. The room looked very cute (Little Mermaid theme) and clean. There was a mini refrigerator. I requested a microwave. By the time I arrived at the room, the microwave was already delivered and set up. The CM did mention that the room gets cleaned every other day. When the room gets cleaned, the bed(s) is NOT made. You have to make your own bed. I don't understand why the bed(s) is not made. The Skyliner takes guests to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The shuttle takes guests to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

    The Finding Nemo Suite was fun and comfortable. Be sure to keep an eye on the small frig- ours froze up, leaked and some food spoiled. Loved the pool and splash pad and the aerial ride to Hollywood Studios. The cafeteria food is just OK and wildly overpriced like all the food and beverages at Disney. The wait times for the rides at Magic Kingdom were reasonable but Hollywood Studios mismanaged theirs with 2 hour wait times because half of some of the rides were “under maintenance.” And the people with lightning passes just walked by the hundreds in line. Walt Disney would have disapproved of that policy and the employees we talked with did also. Overall, we- especially the 10 and 8 year old- enjoyed this vacation.

    The hotel was fun and nice but no room cleaning every day? Just a "light" cleaning on every second day?? Come on Disney, the covid excuse is no longer acceptable. All hotels in the US and around the world are now back to regular cleanings, this is just an excuse to save money on employees. Unacceptable with a hotel with this price tag! (overpriced by the way, this is not worth the $650 they charge for the room. We were "lucky" to find a lower price but it normally goes for around 600-700 per night...

    First off I didn’t get my room cleaned when I was out from 7am to 4pm. This makes me question how they clean or manage the staff. Secondly, doors are extremely loud so you can hear them closing everywhere. Noises from other rooms distracting. Food choices are terrible there. Although they have cute decorations it’s basically a multilevel motel with no real resort feel for the price. Never mind you can’t get away from Disney food prices and everything is sooooo far away.

    The resort seems dated. We stayed in the lion king section. Family suite was spacious however bedding for the Murphy bed was a blanket about as thick as a sheet and pull out couch had no bedding at all. Confirmation stated housekeeping every two days but didn’t happen. I had to call to the front desk on the third say and was told only restock of towels and trash removal would be provided “due to covid”. Felt on our own during our stay. Front desk was always crowded with guests. Too many people in the dining area everything was rushed there. My magic band deactivated on my last day but check out wasn’t until 11:00. I couldn’t pay for my breakfast and had to leave the food to go back to my room for my debit card 😡

    Of Animation for 16 total. We had party members checking in at different times which was confusing but they were able to cheerfully rectify all problems and even gave us all rooms next to each other. The Chef went out of his way to help with a grandson’s special dietary needs. One morning they had run out of the mix he needed for his Mickey Mouse waffles. They apologized repeatedly and gave us two boxes of cookies and almond milk for the inconvenience. Every staff member went out of their way to be helpful! One very kind staff member saw me taking a very heavy bag to our RV when leaving. He offered and carry the bag for me.

    My family came to Disneyworld for the first time and chose this resort because it looked fun. We were accidently placed in a room with only one bed for the 3 of us, so they gave us a free upgrade to a beautiful suite. Every detail in the Cars area is spot-on, and my 17 year daughter old daughter actually cried because she loved it so much. The beds were comfortable and when we needed anything, the staff was incredible. We had such a fun time just being in the hotel that we almost wanted to stay there and not go into the parks! We highly recommend this hotel.

    Stayed at the little mermaid and the rooms are very far from main areas. I don’t mind walking but it was far and inconvenient from everything especially after a day at the parks. Also, the bathtub had hair in it and when I lifted the blanket, the sheets were dirty (looked like a giant booger). They offered to come and replace bedsheets but it late and my kids were falling asleep so I told them I would change it myself if they bring new ones.
