Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is one of Disney’s value resorts. This allows the resort to have elaborate, larger than life theming in the larger common areas and more basic rooms with double beds. The room rates for this resort are pretty reasonable and great for any family that is visiting on a budget. Disney’s Art of Animation is also perfect for families who want to maximize their time at the parks. This resort has designated bus loading areas and also has access to the Disney Skyliner Transport!

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort has several newly refurbished rooms! They maximize the smaller space by having a Murphy bed that goes down for sleeping and up during the day to reveal a desk. There are also 2 room family suites available that are perfect for accommodating larger families!

#1 Disney’s Beach Club Resort

Top 3 Best Walt Disney World Resorts for Families

Disney’s Beach Club Resort is one of Disney’s Deluxe Resorts. The resort is known for its luxurious rooms, superior dining, and extensive recreational activities. It also comes with the convenience of getting to the parks with ease. What’s unique about this resort and what we love is the quaint blue colors and  New England beach club of the 1870s theme that ties the whole resort together.

This resort is perfect for families that want the best of both worlds. Families can maximize their time at the parks because it is within walking distance to Epcot. Feeling a bit run down, then head back to Disney’s Beach Club Resort for some relaxation or some fun pool time!
