Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel

But that gives you no advantage in getting you a discount room. All it does is guarantee a room at full price in the absence of a discount.

Correct. The poster didn't say they had to have a code, just that they were "kind of waiting to see what deals, if any, are coming." Rather than wait for a code and lose a room, I would book it now. Unless of course I wasn't willing to pay rack rate!

First I want to say how good it is to be back on here with all of you good people. I haven't been able to get onto this site since last week because every time I tried to log on my computer blocked my access saying that the site was risky because of some type of 'danger'. Did anyone else run into this? I didn't know if there were hackers causing trouble or what. Today, as usual, I tried again and this time I was able to get on. Does this happen often? It has happened to me once before, but just for a day or two, never for as long as it was this time. I kept thinking about all of you and what I may be missing regarding the AoA!!!!!



Yes! Same thing happened to me for a few days. I couldn't understand it. This was the only site that I come to that was giving me the virus scare. Then it went away?

Are there toasters in the cars rooms ??

 

[gilsan]

wow, just checked 10/17-10/24 and there are no LM rooms either!

I was looking for a room October 25-27 LM and found no availability for the last 2 days. This morning I looked and was able to book my nights.

No toaster. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator with a tiny freezer section, coffee maker, small sink, and a microwave oven.

We can't wait! I think we will have....I KNOW we will have a wonderful time here!

In order of closeness to Pop/AoA with my unscientific commentary:

Hollywood Studios (really close)
Epcot (pretty close)
Animal Kingdom (may stop at Blizzard Beach to and from) (not so close)
Magic Kingdom (far)

Thank you! I was wondering the same thing!

I'm trying to find the answer to my question in this thread but can't. I apologize if it has been asked and answered several time! My question is, can you see the fireworks from any park while staying at AoA?

Changed my dates to January 6th-10th. Now I will be able to avoid the Marathon!

I'm really going to have to pick my brain because I don't remember which fireworks it was, maybe Epcot. But we were leaving the resort and crossing from the sidewalk to the parking lot, and saw the fireworks beautifully. It was dark but I think it would have been between the Nemo and Lion King sections.

It is possible to see some effects from the fireworks in the Epcot Illuminations: Reflections of Earth show at AoA (and at Pop Century). Keep in mind that Illuminations isn't a traditional fireworks show, so while you may be able to see some, it's not (in my opinion) really the same as seeing the show at Epcot.

With my FD PIN I do see availability in all sections of AoA (LM, Cars, LK, Nemo) for an 11/1 arrival.

(I put in arrive 11/1, depart 11/10, 2 adults, 1 child).

Thank you so much for checking for me! Now I just have to hope a PIN shows up for me or they go to GP on the FD soon. Such a relief! Thanks again!

The photos show two large dressers with several drawers. Look for a photo and you can see them!

Check out easywdw.com for photos. Josh took a bunch of them and you might be able to find some easily there.

Do we have anyone working on an FAQ/Info thread when we fill this one up?

How do we do that? Just start one?

Here's my question for anyone who knows.

We stayed at POP once - one thing I didn't like about it was I felt like it was hard to find. When we stay at All Stars I know to just follow the signs for Animal Kingdom and at basically the last minute there will be signs for All Stars - so to me those resorts are really easy to find.

Question is - is there something 'large' and well signposted that I can follow the signs for to get to AoA (I know it's next to Pop but clearly that's not going to help me).

oh and yes, we'll have our car and we love our car so no buses for us (more room for everyone else!)

thanks!

Google street view shows some pretty decent signage
