Only the best

[JennaDeeDooDah]

I never stayed at AoA someday, stayed at all the All Stars over the years not a fan although their new food court is pretty good

I have stayed at all of the value resorts and most of the moderates and deluxes. Art of Animation is, at least in my opinion, far and away the best of the value resorts. Now, I did enjoy all of the All Stars. I thought that the outdoor theming was really cute and like the little bit of theming on the inside (didn't care for POP simply because I felt there was nothing to the inside of the rooms) but Art of Animation is just a whole other level, in my opinion. The outside is wonderfully themed, for sure, but where it really goes above and beyond other values for me was inside the rooms. You have absolutely no doubt that you are in a Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Cars, or Lion King room. The theme is more child-friendly than I would consider the moderates of deluxes, but just as detailed as any of them. Far and away the best of the values, if you ask me.

For me POP is all about the memories of my life ( exactly the way they planned it ) I have stayed in the 50's section so many times since it opened I should have a name plate on the building It's my happy place As a kid my Dad coached our bowling league and he would have loved that whole area Have to agree with you about the rooms but it is the outside I really love The back end of the resort overlooking the water in the early morning has given me many surprise wildlife/nature picture opportunities So peaceful

I would love to try AoA especially from everything I have read about that awesome pool I never seem to book at the right time Will certainly keep trying thanks JennaDeeDooDah
