Tucked away behind the trees you will see a Resort Disney has been hiding for quite some time. I have actually walked as close to the Resort as I could to see what I could, boring brown buildings, perfectly unused buildings, scary looking buildings! Why are they just sitting there I continued to ask myself!
I was so happy when I learned that these buildings reportedly will open in 2012 as Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Hotel! This resort will include 4 themed areas based on popular Disney movies: Finding Nemo, Cars, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. Of course, I have not seen these themes, but believe they will be akin to those found in the All Stars Movies Resort. The Little Mermaid buildings will include 864 themed traditional style rooms. The remaining themed rooms will include 1120 family suites that will be similar to those found in the All Stars Music, as reviewed in a previous post.
The new resort will be in the ESPN Wide World of Sports or Hollywood Studios area. It will be Disney World’s fifth value resort.
Many are excited about the Resort for the additional suites in Disney World. Others just want to see the new themed pools! What about this new Resort excites you? As additional information comes available, I will let you know the details!
