Disney's Art of Animation Resort —
The Cars Family Suite at Disney's Art of Animation Resort is a 550-square-foot suite that sleeps up to 6 guests across three sleeping surfaces: a queen bed in a private bedroom, a double sofa bed, and a twin Murphy bed in the living area. It includes two full bathrooms, a kitchenette, and immersive Radiator Springs theming throughout every surface. This suite is a strong fit for families who want more space than a standard value room without moving up to a moderate or deluxe resort.
From the cone-shaped lamps in the living room to the sleeping Mater mural hidden inside the Murphy bed frame, the Cars Family Suite turns every square foot of a Disney value resort into a scene straight out of Radiator Springs.
At 550 square feet, the Cars Family Suite is a true multi-room layout with a separate bedroom, a combined living and dining area, and two full bathrooms — a configuration that sets it apart from every standard value room on Walt Disney World property. The private bedroom holds a queen bed flanked by nightstands with charging outlets, a large dresser, and a flat-panel TV at the foot of the bed; clothing storage and an iron station occupy the same wall. The living area doubles as a second sleeping zone: a dining table that folds down into a twin Murphy bed (with a Mater mural visible on the bed frame and two built-in reading lights) and a convertible sofa bed handle overflow guests. Side tables throughout the suite feature toolbox styling in keeping with the body-shop aesthetic, and cone-shaped lamps and cone-print curtains carry the Radiator Springs motif into every corner.
The kitchenette — styled in the same body-shop toolbox theme as the rest of the suite — includes a refrigerator, microwave, coffee and tea maker, and a sink, giving families room to store leftovers, prep morning meals, or wash baby bottles without touching the bathroom. Two full bathrooms mean large groups can get ready simultaneously: the bathroom off the living area features a tub-and-shower combination and Cars-themed shower curtain, while the master bathroom off the bedroom has a walk-in shower and a large vanity with mirror lighting. Additional in-room amenities include free Wi-Fi, satellite TV service, blackout drapes, an in-room safe, a hair dryer, a phone, and daily housekeeping. Free cribs and infant beds are available on request, and in-room childcare can be arranged for a surcharge. Connecting or adjoining rooms can be requested, though availability is not guaranteed.
The Cars suites occupy three buildings arranged around the Cozy Cone Pool — a quieter alternative to the resort's main Big Blue Pool — and the courtyard features life-size statues of Lightning McQueen, Sally Carrera, Mater, and Fillmore positioned along a stretch styled as Route 66. Each building entrance carries a distinct look: one references Tow Mater's garage, another evokes a Butte-style gas station. Families with Cars fans will find the immersion starts well before reaching the room door. One practical note: Art of Animation family suites have interior-corridor room entrances rather than the exterior-facing doors common at other value resorts, which reduces pool noise for courtyard-facing rooms. Nightly rates for family suites at Art of Animation have ranged from roughly $519 to over $900 in 2026, and the suites are periodically included in Disney discount offers including annual passholder rates.

The Cars Family Suite accommodates up to 6 guests using three sleeping surfaces: a queen bed in the private bedroom, a double sofa bed in the living area, and a twin Murphy bed that folds down from what appears to be the dining table during the day. Free cribs and infant beds are also available on request for families traveling with very young children.
All three family suite categories at Art of Animation share the same floor plan, square footage, and amenity set — the primary differences are theming and location within the resort. The Cars suites sit closest to Animation Hall and the main pool, surrounding the Cozy Cone Pool. Reviewers have noted that the Finding Nemo suites lean into an immersive underwater aesthetic, while the Lion King suites have a more subdued jungle color palette; the Cars suites strike a middle ground with roadside Americana theming. There is also a generic "family suite" booking category where the specific theme is not assigned until check-in.
The suite includes a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. It is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee and tea maker, and a sink. There is no stove or oven. The setup is practical for storing leftovers, preparing simple breakfasts, making coffee, and filling water bottles, but not for cooking full meals.
Nightly rates for family suites at Art of Animation have ranged from approximately $519 to over $900 per night in 2026, depending on travel dates and demand. Disney periodically includes the suites in discount programs — annual passholder rates and other promotional offers can meaningfully reduce the cost. Booking through a Disney-authorized travel advisor may also provide access to additional discount windows.
Connecting or adjoining rooms can be requested when booking a Cars Family Suite at Art of Animation, but availability is not guaranteed and is subject to what is open at the time of your stay. If connecting rooms are essential for your group, it is worth noting the request early and confirming with the resort ahead of arrival.
