Disney’s Newest Resort to Open 2012
Disney’s newest resort, Disneyโs Art of Animation Resort at theย Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort, is scheduled to open Summer 2012. ย
This newย Disney Value Resort hotel, will draw its inspiration from 4 classic Disney animated films:ย The Lion King,ย The Little Mermaid and DisneyยทPixar’sย Finding Nemo andย Cars. ย Each one of the Disney’s Art of Animation Resort buildings are being designed to make you feel like you are part of one of 4 beloved animated films.
The 864 rooms planned withinย The Little Mermaid buildings will be sea-inspired with an eye towards value.
The Lion King,ย Cars andย Finding Nemo buildings are planned to exclusively feature family suites which accommodate up to six guests. The concepts show a total of 1,120 family suitesโall arranged for added space and comfort.ย The concept for these family suites includeย 2 separate bathrooms, aย master bedroom, andย 3 separate sleeping areas within the living space, which includes an “Inovabed”โan impressive piece of furniture that transforms from a generously sized dining or work table to a comfortable bed in seconds.
Kids and kids at heart will be able to romp through one of the 4 courtyardsโone courtyard for each filmโwhere there will be icons and sculptures to interact with and play around. Make a splash in the main poolโcomplete with a pool barโor relax in one of the 2 quiet pool areas. Planned amenities at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort include an animation-themed food court, arcade, retail location and interior airline check-in stations.
