Recreation

Art of Animation Resort and Pop Century Resort

The Art of Animation Resort has the following recreational options:

  • 1.38 mile jogging path. You can walk over the bridge to Disney Pop Century Resort
  • Three swimming pools
  • Pixel Play arcade is a hit with kids
  • Movies Under the Stars nightly in the Lion King area
  • Schoolyard Sprayground toddler water play area by the Big Blue Pool
  • Two basic playgrounds: Squirt's Righteous Reef (Finding Nemo) is basically a slide and the Elephant Graveyard walk-through (Lion King)

The playgrounds are visually appealing, but very basic. There is a definitive lack of playthings or climbing structures at this kid-friendly resort. Signs are posted all over the resort asking guests to refrain from climbing on structures.

Pools

Art of Animation Resort Flippin Fins Pool

With two smaller quiet pools and one huge pool, there is plenty of opportunity to get your feet wet at the Art of Animation Resort. A host of planned activities take place daily at the larger pool.

  • The Big Blue Pool in the Finding Nemo section is at the center of the resort. With 308,527 gallons of blue water, it is truly a centerpiece. Surrounded by swimming creatures from the Finding Nemo movie, you feel like you are in the movie. Zero entry and an underwater sound system make this pool state of the art
  • The Cozy Cone Pool is in the Cars area. Themed after the movie Cars, the Cozy Cone pool has 74,740 gallons of water and cabanas shaped like traffic cones. This is one of the resort's quiet pools. Guests can get a break from the sun in the colorful cabanas equipped with lounge chairs
  • The Flippin' Fins pool is in the Little Mermaid courtyard. With 103,642 gallons of water, this is the second smaller quiet pool
