Disney’s Art of Animation Resort has reopened with new health and safety measures after being closed for over seven months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Animation Hall

There are plenty of social distancing markers leading into the resort.

Inside, frequent signs remind guests to remain socially distanced and follow guidelines.

Check-in kiosks have Plexiglass barriers between guests and Cast Members.

There are social distancing markers for check-in and the nearby Ink & Paint Shop.

Guests are encouraged to use mobile order for Landscape of Flavors.

A sign indicates the separate queues for Ink & Paint Shop and Landscape of Flavors, which have the same entrance.

Ink & Paint Shop

Inside Ink & Paint Shop, there are social distancing markers leading to the register.

Both sides of Ink & Paint Shop are still available.

There is a designated set of exit doors, which a sign at the entrance points to.

Landscape of Flavors

Inside the Landscape of Flavors quick-service restaurant, certain tables and bench seats are marked unavailable to create social distancing.

There are of course social distancing markers for pick-up.

Wheeled walls block off the counter-service sections. Guests must mobile order (barring guests with food allergies who may have to order in person) and then can pick-up their tray of food when it’s ready.

Self-serve stations are now empty.

Landscape of Flavors is open 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM for breakfast and 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM for lunch and dinner.

Outside, The Lion King section is still as beautiful as ever with scenes from the film.
