We have reservations for this resort in September! We are so excited to experience it. My 3 year old keeps telling everyone how we are going to sleep in Simba’s room
I love that you can buy the in-room decor, that’s so cool! What a neat idea if you ever wanted to design a room after a hotel! 🙂 Brilliant facts, thanks!
I wanted to stay here but the “value” rooms weren’t open yet and we just couldn’t afford to take a “deluxe” room. Maybe next year.
What a fun list of facts! Can’t wait to stay at this resort in the fall!!!
I am going to Disney World in June 2013 I have not booked it yet but I hope I can get in at Disney Animation Resort I want to stay in the Little Mermaid room my daughter would love it
That’s great that they are using reusable cutlery and dishes in the food court. Cuts down on a lot of waste. I love that they are selling decor items at the gift shop. It would be so nice to have something like that to remember your vacation with.
The swimming pool of paint sound like fun! LOL! But that is a LOT OF PAINT!
I think the pool is the coolest part of this resort. It makes me want to pool hop just to try it out.
Very cool that you can buy in room decor! more hotels should do that . I’m so hoping we get to stay here next time we’re in Disney.
This resort is so cool! I like that in-room pieces are available for purchase! Now if only I could purchase Boardwalk decor and make my house look just like my “home away from home.” These are such cool facts, I can’t wait to see this resort!!! 🙂
Oh my that is super cool the decor is at the gift shoe. I SO need a cozy cone lamp.
I am so excited about the Art of Animation resort!!! We’re going to Disney World for the first time ever in February and we picked out the resort last year! I’m pretty sure just staying there will be a blast and great beginning to our trip!
