This is an excerpt of my TR from the Destination D event last May where they covered the AoA resort, so this is the knowledge that I have. After rereading it I can see where the Little Mermaid section would be a value type resort as the rooms appear to be a little different than the other ones described. I really liked the idea of having a "dining table". My DVC has spoiled me immensely!
Art of Animation Resort
The first slide is a sketch of the outside and check in building of the resort. Overall there will be 10 guest room buildings. 3 Pools and some number of Commercial buildings, but I didnt get that one in my notes. Welcoming you into the resort will be Lightning McQueen, Ariel from the Little Mermaid, Nemo and Simba.
In the check in area/lobby there will be a color palette and rough sketches on the walls.
The resort is laid out in 4 different guest building areas. There will be 864 Standard rooms and 100+ family suites that will sleep six people. After you leave the Commercial building you will step into the story of each of the individual movies. As you can see from the slide below, the accommodations are divided into four different resort areas based on each of the movies/characters.
Each building is set in a different scale where you are the size of the main character. In each of the areas, the buildings will frame the courtyard. The backs of all the buildings will have original artwork featured on the back of the buildings.
The Nemo courtyard area will feature a pool, units will have a hallway entrance.
From this artist rendering, in this courtyard, you are the size of the main character, Nemo.
The rooms will be themed as well. The Adult bed will have themed headboards, nightstands, even light fixtures. There will be a dining table in each room that pulls down into a Murphy Bed. Each Murphy bed will let the kid sleep next to the host character of the resort.
Next up is the Cars Courtyard and buildings.
These are the sketches for the buildings
Evidently the buildings and courtyard will somehow have a new road paved to the Cozy cone Motel There will be 11 characters pictured in the Courtyard. The Ratio will be one to one in the size of the cars. There will be 11 photo ops in the courtyard. The Backdrops will all be stage sets.
The guest rooms will be themed after a room at the Cozy Cone motel. Again the kitchen table will double as a Murphy bed for the kiddo(s).
The Lion King Courtyard will be a quiet area with no pool.
In this building the icons will be in the courtyard and not pictured on the buildings.
You will be the size of Simba and again there will be numerous photo opportunities.
The room will be themed to the jungle, and the Murphy bed allows you to sleep next to Simba.
The last section of the Art of Animation resort is the Little Mermaid In this resort you will be the size of Sebastian. This part of the resort will be the only section that will have entrances from the exterior of the building.
Triton and Ursula will be larger than life and dominate much of the area, but because of the balconies, there will not be murals on the walls.
Again the rooms will be themed, but it looks as though this part of the resort will not have the Murphy beds.
I may have to try it again (from Crews Cup!
)
JD wouldn't be interested in it either!
I almost wish I couldn't remember how good it used to be.
but with doing that Friday night, I don't want to be completely full from a large lunch.
Are you sure you couldn't swing a quick weekend at Swolphin? 
The package rates are really a good deal! 
And you can buy the tickets at the start of the event if you like. Unlike the seminars, the Concourse doesn't sell out. I believe walk-ups for the unlimited Concourse samplings were $5 more than advanced purchase. They also have individual ticket purchase available. The 2nd night, I bought a 20-ticket pack rather than the all-inclusive wristband (most samplings, both food and wines, were 2 tickets each).
