There is a large dining area in the Landscape of Flavors with plenty of room for your family to spread out. There are also sections with large TVs playing Disney favorites to keep your kids entertained. You can also opt to sit outside, by the Art of Animation pools, head to the parks, or take your food back to your hotel room.

Can you use mobile order at Art of Animation?

You can use mobile order at Disney’s Art of Animation to avoid long lines. I also like using this with young kids, so they can easily see the menu items and make their decisions before getting to counter-service restaurants. Place your order using the My Disney Experience app and look for the mobile order line in the dining hall.

Featured cocktails at the Drop Off Pool bar feature the Big Blue Ocean and the Seafoam refresher, along with margaritas, spiked lemonade, the Bourbon Breeze, and Mai Tais. You can also grab some frozen beverages like a Frozen Jack and Coke or a Frose. Beer, wine, and sangria can also be found at the pool bar!

Can you eat at the Art of Animation pool?

Yes! You can eat at any of the Art of Animation pools. The pool is the perfect place to relax and beat the heat! The Finding Nemo pool is located right behind the food court in the main building. It is the largest single hotel pool at the Walt Disney World resort. There is also a great splash pad for little ones in the Nemo area called the Schoolyard Sprayground.

The Cozy Cone pool is a smaller pool located in the middle of the Cars buildings. You will also find the Flippin’ Fins pool in the Little Mermaid wing. Life jackets and pool towels can be found at each pool location.

How long is breakfast served at Art of Animation food court?

Breakfast is served at Art of Animation main building from 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM daily. Entrees include the classic Disney breakfast of character waffles, eggs, bacon, and sausage, along with omelets, loaded totcho bowls, and pancakes. You can also grab fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, cinnamon rolls, and croissants.

I like to grab a quick breakfast the night before an early day at the parks or the airport. You can store them in your in-room mini fridge and be ready for the Orlando International Airport, Disney parks bus transportation, or the Skyliner. You can make coffee in your hotel room with the in-room coffee maker or grab some Joffrey’s in the food court.

The menu at lunch and dinner times are generally the same. Each station will offer a different selection, so be sure to walk through or check the app for the most updated offerings. If you are in the mood for something unique, you will usually find a featured entrée like shrimp and grits, salmon, or Tandori chicken stir fry. Wanting classic park food? Try the pizza, pasta, surf burger, or chicken fingers with French fries.

If you are wanting to save some on the budget, remember you can order a kids’ meal and drinks are refillable if you are eating in the main dining hall.

Can you order pizza at the Art of Animation food court?

You can order pizza at the Art of Animation food court! This is a great Walt Disney World dining option for families, as you grab a whole pepperoni or cheese pizza for about $20. We like to grab a pizza on our arrival day and eat it either in the Art of Animation rooms, out by the pool, or while watching a Disney movie.

Most of the Disney World value resorts, moderate resorts, and deluxe resorts offer a different movie airing each night outside by the pool. This is no extra cost and a great way to spend an evening at Disney World! Your best bet is to check in with the front desk staff or the posted board near the dining hall for the times and movie selections.
