Returned yesterday from a stay in a Finding Nemo suite, used the safe, and did not pay for it. It was a normal, 4-digit code type of hotel safe.
Yep, that will work. It may start operation a bit before 7:30, as well. You will transfer at the CBR station.
Do the all stars do a character hunt? I've never seen one but they have a scavenger hunt
I stayed there 2 Junes ago and i didnt even know they allowed dogs. So if that was going on then, thats how affected i was by it.I either didn't know or forgot that Art of Animation allows dogs.
What is this like? Are there a lot of dogs? Noise issues? Rooms that smell like dogs?
I'm not comfortable around dogs and I hate being judged for it. If I'm likely to run into one dog on the way to pool, I can deal. If I'm going to being dodging dogs frequently, I am going to miserable and possibly panicky depending on how well their owners exert control. Should I be looking for a different resort?
We've stayed at AoA a few times since dogs were allowed. One trip (Nemo suite) I only saw 2 dogs being walked outside but didn't notice any in the building (at least not on our floor/wing). One trip (LK suite) I saw a woman carrying her little dog in the hallway twice but never heard the dog. The last trip (June 2022, LK suite), there was a little dog barking constantly in the room across the hall from us while we were bringing our luggage to our room. I'm sure s/he heard us and that's what got the barking started. I noticed the barking stopped once we were finished bringing everything in the room (I had to stand by our door to listen -- it wasn't loud enough that I could easily hear it through our closed door). But as soon as we'd open our door the barking would start again. I could tell the dog was sitting right at the door. We went to lunch and when we came back, there was no barking. Never heard anything else the rest of the week. I'm guessing that family checked out the day we arrived. I have never noticed a dog smell in any of our rooms. If you're concerned about that, you can request a deep cleaning prior to arrival. Since there's not carpeting in the rooms at AoA anymore, there's much less of a chance that there will be a dog smell in a room even if a dog has just stayed there. Just keep in mind that service animals can be in *any* room at any hotel -- not just at dog-friendly resorts, so there can be dogs at any resort.I either didn't know or forgot that Art of Animation allows dogs.

Our experience was in Lion king but same thing, Murphy bed was very comfortabe but sleeper sofa not so much but my 21 yr old was fine to have it all for himself
I don’t find the views matter much with the Suites because there are no patios or balconies, just windows and it’s not motel style like ASMu. Request building 6, and you’ll have landscape or lake views. In building 10, you may end up with a parking lot view.
I don't know exactly how many accessible rooms there are at AoA, but I know it's a small percentage. When we were in building 6, first floor, right next to the main entrance, I know there was an accessible room right next to ours because housekeeping had the door propped open 2 different days when we walked by. I couldn't see if there was a roll-in shower, though as I didn't walk into the room. We've stayed at AoA 6 times (5 times in the LK suites) and our view has never had any affect on our enjoyment. Even the year we had a parking lot view. We were on the 4th floor that year so the reality was, if we wanted to see the parking lot, we had to walk over to the window and look down. Our eye level view was trees. Our most recent stay was again a parking lot view on the 1st floor of bldg 10. it's really not that big of a deal. We didn't have the curtains open very often (trying to keep the room cool) and there was other garden areas to look at. The room in bldg 6 that had the accessible room had a courtyard view but all we could really see was the thick vegetation. It really felt like we were in a jungle. And that was fine. It definitely helped keep our room cool during the day *and* if we did open the curtains, no one walking through that area could see in our room. We've also had some lakeview rooms, but again, we had the curtains closed most of the time to keep the hot sun out, so the view just really isn't critical for us. At least you wont have views of a rooftop a/c unit like some DVC resorts have.
But seriously, don't worry too much about the view, it's not really that bad from any of the rooms.
There appears to be 5 suites with the roll in shower in the Lion King building. I have stayed in one on the 2nd floor with a courtyard view. I think the other suites are also all courtyard view.
