The Walt Disney World® Resort’s newest resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is currently scheduled to start opening in phases beginning on May 31, 2012.
Located near Disney’s Pop Century Resort, the new resort will offer 1,120 family suites (including a bedroom and living room) themed after “The Lion King,” “Cars” and “Finding Nemo” animated films. The family suites are designed to comfortably accomodate up to six guests. Each suite includes two separate bathrooms, a master bedroom, and three separate sleeping areas within the living space.
There will also be 864 standard guest rooms inspired by “The Little Mermaid.” The current opening timetable has the “Finding Nemo” wing opening May 31, the “Cars” wing in late July, and “The Lion King” wing in late September. The final wing, themed after “The Little Mermaid,” is scheduled to debut in December 2012.
Although Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is still several months away from opening, it’s already set to break records by planning the largest swimming pool at the Walt Disney World® Resort (aside from the water parks). This pool will be located in the “Finding Nemo” wing, and will measure 11,859 square feet. The resort also will feature two other pools and a children’s water play area.
