The Little Mermaid rooms at Disney's Art of Animation Resort do have mini refrigerators, but they do not have microwaves. On a recent trip with my family, we required access to a microwave for a medical need.

Yes, the "Little Mermaid" standard rooms at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort come equipped with a small refrigerator. In 2026, these are officially referred to as "Beverage Coolers." It is important to note that these units are designed to keep drinks and small snacks cold (around 41°F or 5°C), but they do not typically have a separate freezer compartment and may not be cold enough for sensitive medications like certain types of insulin. Unlike the "Family Suites" at the same resort (Finding Nemo, Cars, and Lion King themes), the Little Mermaid rooms are standard hotel rooms and do not include a microwave or a kitchenette. If you need to heat food, a microwave is available for guest use in the "Landscape of Flavors" food court located in the main Animation Hall building. The fridge is tucked away inside a themed cabinet near the desk area, helping to maintain the "under the sea" aesthetic of the room without sacrificing the modern convenience of cold storage for your theme park essentials.
