Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
opened its doors last summer with four
distinctly designed wings – “Finding
Nemo,”“Cars,”“The Lion King,” and “The
Little Mermaid.” Each of four distinctly
designed wings celebrates rich
storytelling, spirited characters, original
sketches and playfulness with colorful
icons and whimsical theming inspired
by classic Disney and Disney•Pixar films.
The value-priced resort, which is
mainly made up of family suites sleeping
six, tells the story of the animation
process in phases from pencil drawings
to close-ups. It will immediately transport
guests into the worlds of favorite Disney
characters and animated films beginning
at check-in as pixilated patterns and
wavy ribbons of bold colors decorate the
resort’s exterior. Pencil drawings of Ariel,
Lightning McQueen, Nemo and Simba
adorn the entryway, and a whimsical
chandelier composed of 77 animation
storyboards enhances the lively and
modern Animation Hall lobby.
Kids of all ages can make a splash at
the “Big Blue”pool, the largest resort
swimming pool at Walt Disney World®
Resort measuring 11,859 square feet.
Guests will feel like they are swimming
with Dory and Nemo as underwater
speakers periodically pipe in music and
messages from film characters. Guests
will enter scenes from the animated
world and can explore the colorful reef
and East Australian Current with a giant-
sized Mr. Ray whose wings span 27 feet,
pose for a picture with Crush or frolic
with Squirt in the Righteous Reef, a
children’s play area. And the character
sketches become three dimensional with
some 2,500 sculpted figures decorating
the resort’s exterior and interior.
The Pixel Play Arcade, Drop Off pool
bar, and Ink and Paint gift shop round
out the offerings. Kids will enjoy the daily
character artist in the “Finding Nemo”
lobby, and nighttime movies poolside.
There are two additional pools in the
“Cars” and“The Lion King”wings as well.
Those staying at Disney’s Art of
Animation Resort are treated to
