Step into some of your favorites stories! Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel, a Disney Value Resort hotel, will draw its inspiration from 4 classic Disney animated films: The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo and Cars. Each one of the new Resorts buildings are being designed to make you feel like you are part of one of 4 beloved animated films. You can trace the movie's theme from the playful courtyards to the festive room interiors.
The 864 rooms planned within The Little Mermaid buildings will be sea-inspired with an eye towards value. The Lion King, Cars and Finding Nemo buildings are planned to exclusively feature family suites which accommodate up to six guests. Preliminary plans are for 1,120 family suites, all arranged for added space and comfort.
The concept for these family suites include:
* 2 separate bathrooms
* A master bedroom
* 3 separate sleeping areas within the living space, which includes an "Inovabed"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 courtyards one courtyard for each film where there will be icons and sculptures to interact with and play around.
