Disney's Art of Animation Resort is a future resort within Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It is located where construction on the unfinished half of Disney's Pop Century Resort was started but later abandoned after the September 11 attacks.

The resort is the first to be built in the complex in over seven years and the fifth to be placed in the value-priced category, along with Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, the All-Star Music Resort, the All-Star Movies Resort, and Disney's Pop Century Resort.

Family suites are scheduled for opening in May 2012; standard rooms will open on December 31, 2012.[1]

Overview

An incomplete Pop Century Legendary Years building can be seen across the Hourglass Lake. The Generation Gap Bridge would have connected both halves of the resort.

Pop Century plans

Originally, the land that will house the Art of Animation Resort was planned to be part of Disney's Pop Century Resort as part of the "Legendary Years" section. Several buildings were constructed for these plans, some even to the point of adding decorative details. While one half of Pop Century (the "Classic Years") opened in 2003, the other half was left abandoned following the tourism halt after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.[2]

Construction and opening

Disney started to prepare the land for the resort in January 2010, and construction began in the summer of that year.[3] At the time of this announcement on May 12, 2010, Disney did not say how much construction is expecting to cost, but it was mentioned that approximately 800 jobs will be produced. Should everything go as expected, the resort will open in the summer of 2012.[2]

When the "Legendary Years" buildings were first being made, a bridge named the Generation Gap Bridge was constructed to connect both parts of Pop Century and made them accessible to each other. However, the bridge's future remains unknown now that new plans have been announced.

Resort theming

The resort is designed "with families in mind." It will feature four of Disney's popular character themes: Cars, Finding Nemo, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. Much like the other Disney Value Resorts, giant versions of various items will be built around the hotel on each of the ten wings, such as a 35-foot (11 m) model of King Triton. In total, there will be 1,980 rooms. 1,120 of them will be family suites capable of housing up to six people, featuring living rooms and bedrooms. The remaining 864 will sport the standard value layout.[3][4] When completed, the resort will have a total of ten buildings, as well as three themed pools.

Cars 
The Cars section of the resort will be themed like the Cozy Cone Motel that has featured in the film. Resort buildings will be themed with the movie's characters, including Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, and Luigi and Guido.
Finding Nemo 
The Finding Nemo section of the resort will be themed with the ocean setting featured in the film, with underwater plant and animal decorations throughout the buildings.
The Lion King 
The Lion King section of the resort will feature a "natural" setting, such as that found in the wild.
The Little Mermaid 
The Little Mermaid section of the resort will be themed with 600 cutout objects on resort balconies. "Under the Sea" decorations will be incorporated throughout the section.[5]
