Disney’s Newest Resort to Open 2012

Disney’s newest resort, Disneyโ€™s Art of Animation Resort at theย Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort, is scheduled to open Summer 2012. ย Disney's Art of Animation

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 suitesโ€”all 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”โ€”an 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 courtyardsโ€”one courtyard for each filmโ€”where there will be icons and sculptures to interact with and play around. Make a splash in the main poolโ€”complete with a pool barโ€”or 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.

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is scheduled to be located nearย Disney’s Animal Kingdomยฎย theme park andย ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. It will be a smoke-free Resort; smoking will be permitted only in designated outdoor smoking locations.
