Posted on by Debra Martin Koma
The first phase of the new Art of Animation Resort, the Finding Nemo wing, opens today, May 31, at Walt Disney World. The three-story, value-priced resort tells the story of the animation process in phases from pencil drawings to close ups. It will immediately transport guests into the worlds of favorite Disney characters and animated films, beginning at check-in as pixilated patterns and wavy ribbons of bold colors decorate the resort's exterior. The whimsical property, situated adjacent to Disney's Pop Century Resort, will open in phases with rates from $248 per night. The 1,120 family suites include two bathrooms, a kitchenette and three separate sleeping areas that can sleep up to six. The 864 standard rooms sleep up to four, with rates as low as $94.
