This month, I’ll be reviewing a new Disney World Resort hotel. You may have heard ofThe Art of Animation resort (click for rates and availability), new to Disney World. It is a family budget resort with four hotel room buildings, each themed after a different Disney or Disney Pixar animated movie. There is also a main building with a lobby, cafeteria, gift shop, and arcade. The four hotel room buildings are themed after The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Cars, and The Little Mermaid.
The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Cars all have family suite rooms; offering two bathrooms, one bedroom, two fold-out sleeping spaces, and a kitchenette. These three buildings are currently open and together offer a total of 1,120 suites. The Little Mermaidresort is not yet open, but will this September and is available for guests to book rooms now. This building has 864 regular rooms; each one offers two queen sized beds and one bathroom.

Recreation
The Art of Animation Resort will feature the Big Blue Pool (a play on the phrase big, blue world used in the Disney Pixar movie Finding Nemo), the biggest Disney World swimming pool outside of the water parks. Of the pools to be, currently only the feature Big Blue Pool (Including the nearby splash area and The Drop Off pool bar) and the smaller Cozy Cone Pool are open at this time, but the small Little Mermaid Flippin’ Fins pool will open soon. When completed, the resort will have over 20,000 square feet of swimming pools.
