Last week, I attended an Agent Education Program at Walt Disney World, which was a BLAST. Learned a lot, had fun and best of all, got to experience some new resorts!
I arrived the day before our classes started, and decided to get a room at the new Art of Animation Resort. AoA is near Pop Century, and the area was going to be the 2nd installment of Pop Century: The Classic Years (1940s, 1930s, etc). However, that never came to be and instead, this area was used for the Art of Animation Resort.
The resort does have Family Suites, which is a great option for groups and/or larger families. They do also have the standard resort rooms available, and these can be found in the Little Mermaid section of the resort.
I arrived from the airport via Magical Express, and then made my way to the room!
After leaving Animation hall (the main building where check-in, the shopping and dining is located), I took a left and made a short 3-4 minute walk to the room.
As you can expect from Disney, the theming and attention to detail at AoA did NOT disappoint. It was just spectacular.
(I will be dedicating other posts to the Family Suites - those are INCREDIBLE!)
If you love The Little Mermaid, you will adore this resort. Of course all the major Little Mermaid characters make appearances, and they're great photo spots!
Look! It's a Snarfflat!
To get to the room, we walked to the right of Ursula, and down a small walkway. In no time at all, we got to the room!
If you've stayed at Pop Century, or any of the All-Stars resorts, the room configuration and size is very similar.
Aren't these shell chairs just the cutest?! The mirror is pretty great, too.
Even the carpet is cute!
You can buy this shower curtain at the gift shop at AoA, so you could have your own Little Mermaid-inspired bathroom at home.
Notice the lights above the beds? The light is the pearl, inside the shell! How creative, huh?!
It was a great room, and very comfortable. Some have said the walk from the main building at AoA to these rooms is quite a hike, but I didn't feel that way. It only took 3-4 minutes to get back to the room after getting off the bus, and there is so much to see on your way there, it's a very pleasant walk.
Stay tuned for more room reports and reviews, as well as some dining reviews!
Have a magical day!
I think those that have kids and multiple things are going to think this is a long walk. I just found your blog today. I am also a solo Disney traveler from the midwest. I was just there!
