Staying at this resort was a magical experience that transported my family right into the heart of Disney. The room was spacious and comfortable, perfectly meeting our needs, especially with two bathrooms and a convenient kitchenette. However, the overwhelming decor and noise from neighboring rooms detracted from the overall experience. Dining offered decent options but could become repetitive over time. Overall, it's a solid choice for a family-friendly Disney experience.

This hotel offers a unique Disney-themed experience, but it falls short in terms of comfort and service. The rooms have a fun decor, but noise from neighbors was bothersome during our stay.

My stay at the resort spa was quite relaxing overall. The spa facilities were top-notch, providing a truly rejuvenating experience. The rooms were modern and spacious, making for a comfortable retreat. However, the dining options weren't as varied as I'd hoped, which was a bit disappointing. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, but some amenities could use a bit more attention. The cost felt reasonable for the quality provided, though some extra charges for treatments did add up.

Our stay at the Art of Animation was quite enjoyable overall. The suite was spacious and perfect for our family of six, with enough room for everyone to relax. The convenience of the Skyliner made travel to the parks a breeze. However, the inconsistent service and some issues with the dining options were letdowns. Considering the high price, not everything lived up to expectations.
Rooms

The Nemo suite was spacious for our family of six, with two bathrooms making it easy to manage daily routines. It came equipped with a comfortable pull-down and couch bed, and the mattress quality was satisfactory. However, the Little Mermaid room was quite small for a family of four.
