Today, I am continuing on with my Walt Disney World hotel series with the Hollywood Studios Resorts guide!
Hollywood Studios Resorts
Previously, I published a Magic Kingdom Resorts Guide as well as an Epcot Resorts Guide. Today, I wanted to highlight the hotels closest to the other theme park on the Skyliner – Hollywood Studios! There is a good bit of overlap with the Epcot resorts due to the Skyliner. In fact, 1/2 of these hotels are also on the Epcot list. I’m going by Disney World’s website for grouping and they put a couple of hotels in both theme park locations. So, I’m going to cover them in both posts!
Art of Animation
First up, we have Art of Animation. I most recently stayed here in December 2025 with my mom. I posted a Disney World Little Mermaid Rooms Review covering the standard rooms in the Little Mermaid section of the resort. However, there are family suites in the rest of the resort. I’ve not had the pleasure of staying in one of those rooms yet. Nonetheless, you can read my overall resort review here.
This resort is great for fans of specific Disney/Pixar movies (Little Mermaid, Cars, Finding Nemo, or Lion King). I love that it’s on the Skyliner too. It’s a fun theme that immerses you in the Disney bubble. It’s considered a value, but is priced higher thanks to the theme/popularity and suites.
Caribbean Beach Resort
Next up, is Caribbean Beach Resort. I posted a complete Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Review a few years ago. It’s a sprawling moderate resort on the Skyliner. It has fun, beachy vibes. My biggest complaint about this resort is its size. There’s multiple bus stops here. However, I did enjoy Sebastian’s Bistro the one time I ate there.
Pop Century
The other value resort on the Skyliner, is Pop Century! I’ve stayed here multiple times. It has fun retro vibes and is the most affordable resort on the Skyliner. You can read my entire Disney’s Pop Century Resort Review to get a better idea of what it’s like to stay here. I think it’s ideal for adults visiting Disney on a budget or for people on a budget who want access to the Skyliner.
Riviera Resort
Lastly, there’s the Riviera Resort. As I stated in the Epcot Resorts post, this is a fancy DVC/Deluxe resort. As such, I haven’t stayed here. However, I have visited a few times and really enjoyed the character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace. I also appreciate its compact layout.
Disney Hollywood Studios Resorts
Those are the four resorts that Disney considers to be HS resorts. So, which one is your favorite to stay at? Do you like staying on the Skyliner?
