Are there fridges in the Art of Animation Mermaid rooms as well?

Technically....yes, you will fit in the suite but comfortably, that I doubt. IMO, you would be much better off booking 2 regular rooms. That way everyone gets a proper bed....not a fold out. Cost wise it's slightly less.
Which buildings are the suites and preferred rooms located?
Edited - are they located in the same building or separate? We are looking at getting 2 suites and 1 regular preferred room.
Hello
To anyone who has stayed there recently are the suites still looking good or are they showing a lot of wear and tear?
Do they also have the flat screen tv's or are they still tube tvs?
thanks
Is there a fridge in every room now? Sorry for the dumb question, but there are a lot of posts on here!
Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere - I definitely believe in doing your own research before asking questions, but this is a very long thread and I got tired after about 5 pages
I will possibly be staying at ASMu in December on the AP discount. Can you request a certain section or building to stay in when you book online, or do you have to call? We would want to stay in the Broadway section, near the BatB sign - which building should we request?
dancin Disney style said:You are better off calling in your request...more than 10 days before checking in. So far I have always had my requests granted when I called in advance to make them but more importantly when I did NOT use online check in. The times I did use the online check in I was given the furthest possible thing from what I wanted and then had to go through a big thing to get it changed.....which by the way what I wanted was available, so why didn't they do it in the first place? I will no longer use the online check in for that reason but also,there is normally one CM working the online counter and 4-6 working the regular check in counter. We have moved through the regular check in faster.
ETA....really what I'm saying is if you have a request that you are really hoping to get don't use the online check in. It's much easier to talk with a CM while they are doing the process to see what you were assigned and what you would like, if it's available.
Maybe we have just lucked out but we always go online check in & have always gotten our requests. We don't check in until around midnight so I'm always pleasantly surprised we get our request arriving so late.

I think you have just been lucky. I have used the online check in about 6 times and never got our requests met. I concluded that when checking in online they just plugged you into the room that was clean at the time you say you are checking in. This was all at various resorts too.
This was several years ago, so it may have changed, but this is what a CM told me once at check in. I asked if the online check in helped us get our requests since we arrive so late in the day and most of the people have already checked in. The CM said that the online check in cuts down on check in time, but that they do not assign your room until you are physically present. That is why I was always so suprised that we got what we asked for because we arrive around midnight.
We basically always did the online check in because that line is always really short.
Now I'm wondering if I should continue to do online check in or not. We are breaking up our drive this year so we will drive over 2 days instead of 1. That will put us arriving around 2 in the afternoon.
Decisions decisions
The rooms are assigned prior to arrival.....otherwise how could they have your package ready ahead of time. Also, if they assigned it upon arrival it would be very easy to make a change to the assignment. This is not the case at all...it requires a manager to make any changes. When this has happened to me, as I stated, it took a nearly 20 minutes to change just the building that I was assigned to and the manager had to take the package into the back office to straighten it out. I didn't care what room I was in only the building. The times that I used online check in the resorts were not even close to being full so there really was no reason at all for them not to fufill my request right from the get go. Sometimes it seems to me that they either want to mess with you or make extra work for themselves.
Just an FYI.....I'm never demanding about getting my requests. I fully realize that they can not always be honoured and it certainly would not ruin my vacation.
You are better off calling in your request...more than 10 days before checking in. .
So what # do you call these request into?
