You're very welcome. Yes, they stay pretty much the same. The start times of the movies will change as the time of sunset changes throughout the year. And the actual movies change every month, but that's about it.

We have stayed at AoA 3 times! The first 2 times we stayed in a LK suite and then a Cars suite, and our most recent trip there in February we had booked a Little Mermaid room and were upgraded to a Lion King Suite! We are traveling in September and now we have the option of staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge for 7 nights, or staying in a Little Mermaid room (or POP room) for 8 nights. I loooove the AKL, but I also love AoA! (lets talk about that food court..<3) For those that have stayed at Little Mermaid, is it really that far? Is it noticeably far away after a long day at the parks? Thats my only concern. What would you do?

AoA is cute but I would never pass up the chance to stay at AKL! No comparison there IMO.

How far are the bus stops for AOA from the entrance to the parks?

How far are the bus stops for AOA from the entrance to the parks?

It depends as they are not in the same spot at every park and we have found the locations do change multiple times during a trip.

Morning! We just switched our September reservation from POR to AoA. Been trying to add days to our reservation for weeks and nothing was available at POR so I had the decision to change resorts to AoA. We have stayed there twice in the past and really enjoyed so excited to be heading home on 9/19!

[Dizznee Freak]

One night at AoA in a Little Mermaid room in 45 days. Unfortunately we land at 7:45 pm (if the flights are all on time!) so we won't have all that much time to enjoy the resort. Looking forward to it for sure though!
