When the H family reached out to me, they already knew one thing for sure: they wanted to stay at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort so they could spend their rest day at the Big Blue Pool. 🐠💦
And if you’re wondering what makes a resort pool worth planning a whole rest day around… this one is pretty special!
The Big Blue Pool is the largest pool at a Walt Disney World Resort, and one of my favorite details is something you can only experience once you jump in — Disney music and character voices can actually be heard underwater. It’s one of those little touches that makes staying on Disney property feel extra magical. ✨
But the pool is only one reason I love recommending Art of Animation for the right family:
✨ Disney Skyliner access makes getting to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios easy — and honestly, the Skyliner feels like an attraction all by itself for a lot of kids.
✨ Incredibly immersive theming inspired by Finding Nemo, Cars, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. This is one of those resorts where you never really feel like you’ve left the Disney bubble.
✨ Family Suites give larger families extra space, separate sleeping areas, two bathrooms, and a kitchenette — which can make a huge difference during a longer vacation.
✨ Kid-friendly everything. From larger-than-life characters to colorful courtyards and themed pools, there is so much for little Disney fans to explore even when you aren’t in the parks.
✨ A great option for a resort day. Sometimes the best Disney itinerary includes a day where you don’t set foot in a theme park at all.
And this is exactly why I don’t believe there is one “best” Walt Disney World resort.
There is a best resort for your family.
Part of my job is helping you figure out which one fits the way you want to vacation — whether your priority is transportation, more space, an amazing pool, being close to the parks, or simply giving your kids that full Disney experience.
