We did a split stay between the gf and the aoa back in February. We were pleasantly surprised that the food court had a LOT of options - and we had 2 of our 6 person party with several food allergies. Obviously it isn't fine dining, and it is cafeteria setting but the choices were better than expected.
Yes, we've done that many times.
Well, then I guess your options are two suites (hopefully located next to each other or across the hall from each other); or two (hopefully connecting) rooms in the Little Mermaid section or over at Pop Century. At least if you're at Pop Century you could still go over to AoA to walk around and have a meal. Another totally unrelated option would be a Cabin at Fort Wilderness. They sleep six and have a mini kitchen so you could do some meals there if you wanted to. They only have one bathroom, though.
That is seriously the coolest thing I've ever seen, my mouth is hanging open!!!
Art of Animation refrigerator picture. I know know I was having a hard time finding a picture of a stocked fridge in the AOA suites. I was nervous about what to buy. Here is what we stocked in the refrigerator which was perfect for our stay. We used Garden Grocer, but don't worry about running out bc the Cafeteria has for you to purchase half gallons of milk, etc. Just at a cost of course! In the freezer section we fit 2 boxes of frozen pancakes (taken out of the boxes) and 4 Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches. We took the top off to show. We saved a ton by doing this. We bought boxes of cereal (hence all of the milk) all the snacks for the week, along with drinks for us by the pool and after a long day.
Hope this helps!
