Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Thread

Do they sell gallons of bottled water? Our son and DIL will be needing it for our granddaughters formula. We arrive 4 weeks from today!

I picked up 1.5 liters tonight. ( looks like 64oz bottle).

Wow! Love the size of the suites!! Larger in person vs pix.

When we landed at MCO we got our text our room was ready. 5516 , 1st floor lake side. I love how quiet it is. You can see POP, very well too!

I returned to the room early so the 3 college girls could have some alone time. As I arrived the suitcases were being delivered. Phew! (ME)

I called housekeeping for coffee and 3blankets. All were delivered in about 5 mins.


Wine selection is poor. Kendall Jackson Chardonnay or Merlot or Pinot Griogia or Chardonnay in the Disney bottles ( I forget but Vine in the title). They also have Copa singles. These are good but pricey. Tomorrow ill get some wine at the mono resorts.

Oh, they do have a wine opener and can opener in the room if needed. The paper plates, cups, and utensils I have seen posted before. We were given only 2 coffee(std) but so easy to ask for extra.

I will post pix later this week as I have time to take them. Arrival day is always busy!!!

So glad I picked this vs a deluxe for 4 adult females!!!

I have the coffee pot in the bath area in the bedroom so I don't wake the girls. I also brought one of the table chairs in the bedroom.

Lastly it was warm when we arrived and I set the air for 66 and it's nice and cold in both rooms

Lovin it!!

 

[trishadono]

Sorry the order messed up! Room last night for bed, a morning pic view from room 5516 and a few of nemo where we enter building 5

 

[trishadono]

Just asked mouse keeping in hall for another blanket. They have a room full of supplies on first floor building 5 so she was quickly able to get me one

 

[KonaKaiTom]

Lovin it!!

Wonderful -- we picked all our fast pass plus, and got everything we wanted, and we put our BOG selections. We did the online checkin and requested 4th floor near transportation. Come on clock, speed up, 3 weeks need to go by quicker -- especially since I work in corporate tax and it is year end!!!!!

We just walked over to pop for dinner. So easy from Nemo area!!! Everything so pretty at night.

Side note: the Christmas trees and decorations have been up in MK and HS. Very nice with a first timer

Also the master bedroom is very quiet if you not facing pool side. Quietest room out the 50+ stays I have had!!!

I'm so glad you were able to see the holiday decorations! Yes! A non pool facing room is a must. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet AoA was at night and in the morning. Im interested to see how comfortable you think the beds are after several nights.

The queen is great! I just needed an extra blanket because us northerners are us

 

[Mousemommy1]

Thank you for the pictures Trish! Looking forward to our stay!!!

Shouldn't us "northerners" be used to the cold and require less blankets???? BTW, enjoy Florida, New England is getting snow today!!! I'm so envious!

The girls went to Disney Springs so I did a private wine tour of the resort! Here are some more reds I found in the food court area. Also did you know the check outs have plastic wine glasses???( I have found these at all the resorts I can remember asking at.)

Also I found the lights a nice spot to hold my wine while I took pics, lol!!!

 

[trishadono]

So I tried the Pinot Noir and did a stroll, hope you enjoy!

Pop across lake

Thanks for all of the pictures you've been posting of the resort. Can't wait to get back there in June!

I always make sure to take the bus back to Pop Century one night; grab a drink at Petals; and enjoy my stroll to AoA. I love crossing that bridge at night...the landscaping on the AoA side just feels so lush and welcoming.
