Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel

[smitch425]

Pardon me if this question has been answered before, but I haven't read through all 127 pages of this thread. I've a question about bus routes.

I know that right now Pop has it's own route as opposed to the All Stars, which make multiple stops. Does anyone know which route AoA is going to be on?

AoA will have it's own bus route. And from the looks of the pics, the bus stops are covered.

Oh sure the new resort gets its own resort-specific merchandise!

Disney I want a Pop Century hat! (And one of these too!)

If you get the URL of just the image itself, you can use the Insert Image icon when posting and paste in the image URL.

If you see an image you like you can usually right-click on it and choose View Image and that will just show the URL of the image, and not the surrounding page hosting the image.

What dates do the first guests check in? Just curious as to when we will have DEFINITE confirmation if the pool is in fact key entry only. There's no way to have the resorts connected by the bridge and have one resort with key only entrance to the pool (and just one pool at that), and have Pop's pools able to be accessible by AOA guests. You would have people complaining up a storm about why AOA's guests aren't kept out of Pop's pools but Pop guests are kept out of AOA's main pool. I want definite confirmation.

Official first day for guests is May 31 2012, so it's coming up fast. Whether there is any soft opening for CMs or others we don't know.

This pic looks like a very large gate into the pool area, and I don't see anything that would resemble needing your key to get in.

The CM with the lightsaber is standing in front of that area . No way to tell anything in this pic unfortunately.

The gate opens out toward the lady with the lightsaber (BTW, I want a lightsaber). She is standing in front of the inside of the door (it swings outward because you can see the silver "push bar" that you would push to go out. It could just be an exit. There is nothing on the part of the other side of the gate where they connect that shows any kind of locking mechanism, or anything else on that side for that matter, not even a push bar from what I can see looking through the other gate. Strange set up if there is a key-only entrance. I would think with push bars, there is no way to rig that electronically.

WDW new today took a pic of the door locks.. No way to tell yet if they might use wristbands , but I still keep hearing the word card being used.

 

[*Fantasia*]

That is exactly the same as the key device now being used on the Disney Dream and Fantasy cruise ships. You tap your KTTW card on it. We won't be seeing any wristbands with AoA.

 

[Eli's 1st trip]

The seagulls in the Nemo section really DO say "Mine" !? I was so hoping they would!
I'm in love with the lobby.

Ok think this just made my decision for me....My oldest son had a great conection with his PawPaw last trip for this exact reason. Everytime he sees a seagull he SCREAMS " mine mine mine"

PawPaw has since passed away from cancer, and we are going on this trip to commemerate what would have been PawPaw's 63rd birthday...Its a sign!

We are SO getting a NEMO SUITE!
