[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Art of Animation is far from everything, and has no good meal options. I was not pleased at all when we stayed there. If you could swing it, I’d try something like Wilderness lodge where you at least have the boat to Magic Kingdom and the bus rides aren’t so long to other parks. [/quote]

OP here. We choose Art Animation because it's one of the cheaper ones and it seems nice. Wilderness costs $826 per night vs Art Animation $335 per night. The difference is huge after taxes and multiplying the daily rate by 6. Unfortunately, we have a beer budget here. :-([/quote]

NP.  Art of Animation is perfectly fine. Plus you're on the Skyliner so you can easily go to different hotels if you want to just see something different or eat at Riviera or Caribbean.  The extra space is so great, especially if you'll be there for 6 days, and you'll have the small fridge and microwave.  I highly recommend getting groceries delivered from Garden Grocers so you have snacks and breakfast food in the room.  We go to Disney about once a year.  If it's a short trip, I'll stay in a regular hotel room (Polynesian, Contemporary), but anything over 2 nights I choose the extra space of AoA.

+1. Just got back from 4 nights at AoA and it exceeded my expectations! We chose AoA for the experience - DD is 8, it was her first WDW trip. We all loved the theming. The pools are basic but nice, and the food was better than average (plus it's so convenient to have an all day food court). We also did grocery delivery and brought breakfast bars and sandwiches with us to the parks so we wouldn't have to stop for meals. We had a Cars room and it had a wet bar, mini fridge, micro, and two full bathrooms.

Shuttle service to Disney Springs and the magic Kingdom is direct and takes around 20 minutes. The skyliner to Epcot and Hollywood is fun and easy.

I think most people will be very satisfied with staying at AoA with elementary aged kids (and less stressed from having to repack and move).[/quote]
