The Righteous Reef Playground at Disney’s Art of Animation is Closed for Maintenance
If you’re visiting Disney’s Art of Animation over the next week or so, you’ll want to be aware that the Righteous Reef playground has temporarily closed for maintenance. The playground is one of the first things you’ll run into when you exit the Skyliner as you walk toward the resort. The nearby Schoolyard Sprayground and Big Blue Pool are not expected to be impacted by the work. Here is the official notice:
From April 20-28, the Righteous Reef playground at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort will be closed for maintenance. During this time, Guests are welcome to enjoy the playground at our neighboring resort hotel, Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Guests may see or hear maintenance in the area until the work is complete.
