"Pool closed due to poop, service is awful. Would never come back."

We got off a Disney cruise and landed at the Art of animation at 955am, and we had a reservation. It was hot. Our room was supposed to be ready by 3 pm, but was still not ready by 445 pm. Our 4 yr old and 3 yr old were forced to nap outside on the lawn chairs in the sun and were miserable for that reason. It was a really tough day after coming off the Disney wish where the service was top notch. Only got a room after threatening to leave. No communication from the resort at all. Will never come back and cannot recommend this place to others. The food is also mediocre at best and very expensive. This place is a nightmare. The large pool was also closed because someone pooped in the pool. That was the only reason we stayed here - for the pool.

"Not Food Allergy Friendly"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 22, 2025 NEW
This resort is not allergy friendly and does a terrible job accommodating people with food allergies. There is only one food place on the resort, which hassled us while trying to buy a pizza and we only have top 9 allergies. In addition, kids with nut allergies can’t eat the smores. You should skip this resort if you have food allergies.
