Forgive my ignorance... what's zero entry pool?

It's a pool you can walk into. No stairs or ladders on one side. Think a beach...

Earlier in this post there were links for what I believe was the resort room layout guide showing where each room number was for each building/building type. But those links are no longer working. Does anyone have an active link or can post the .jpg or image file for the room layout guide for AofA?

We're excited to stay here! Me, DH, & DD just switched from Pop a few days ago. We can't wait to try the new food court!

Any ideas when the Little Mermaid suites will be ready?

Sept 15th ois opening day for the Little Mermaid rooms.


Guys I am so excited I found these. These are the best and closest pics I have seen yet. If you click on each one indvidually it enlarges them , click again a second time to enlarge once more. Oh keep in mind that some of the structure you see are actually supports built around the pieces they are setiing up. It took me a good minute to figure out what the things around the cars pool and why LK area looked so crowded in. Look close and you can see the shape of the real structure underneath. The log in LK and the things around the Cars pool are cones. Everything looks great . Best of all whatever we see is further along since these were taken as we all know they have put tons of fish up in LM already. Its exciting !

The LK play area does look like its going to be really cool from the photos!Boy does the LM section(which is where we are staying)look far away from bus stops though from that angle!!Yikes!

I wonder what inside the suite buildings are going to look like, is there going to be a lobby?

I'm so excited that you found them, too, Cinder73! The more photos I see, the more excited I get. These were wonderful photos. I just got on and found out that in 7 minutes the DIS is closing down for the evening.... I'll miss being on it, but I'm so glad that I got to see your photos; thanks so much for sharing them with us.

does anyone know if when booking LM rooms if we can request buildings? I am thinking 7 or 9 are better as they are closer to the lk section which looks great!
I am sure disney will start charging for preferred rooms but wondered if we can request now.

I read that the food court is supposed to be really good. I'm a sucker for a great food court, not your typical pizza and bugers.

I e-mailed Disney a request for rooms in either of those buildings, and it says I can ask when I check-in, but not before then. I think the LK section looks so cool too! That and Little Mermaid are two of my favorite Disney movies.

Me too! I can't wait to try the Indian food especially.

There won't be any LM suites. LM is all standard rooms with 2 full sized beds. The other sections (Nemo, Cars, Lion King) are all suites with no standard rooms.

I requested 1st floor, lake view when I called and changed my ressie.

I found these pictures of AOA and up close pics of LM with fish on the rails.

I just want to thank 'Tiffany' for both the map and the 8 pages of awesome photos. Between you and 'Cinder73's' links, the photos have me jumping up and down on my chair!
Also, thank you to 'Disneydaz' for all the extensive work that you've done on your Snack List. OMG, I can't imagine how long that must have taken you. Originally the snacks were: ice cream, soda, chips, water, popcorn and I think fruit. Then it seemed like it became almost anything under $4.00. Now it's unbelievably extensive and some are over $4.00. I'm also going to copy your list before our Christmas trip and use it to get the best snack credits and to search out and take home the best treats for family members at home!
