Love the Little Mermaid room! That is probably the cutest room I've seen on Disney property so far.

I really love the themeing at AoA - but one thing it doesn't do is subtltyWe asked for Little Mermaid and we got Little Mermaid. The décor of the room is just what you would think…Disney throws up Little Mermaid.
Ok, bar kicking out was not mentioned! Someone said some "twerking" princess was kicked out!! Catching up on all the funUh.. don't make that plural.
TWEEDLE. As in singular.
As you recall, I was busy finding a seat... and suddenly, I'm outside.................
I know I quoted the whole dang post and I am still marveling at Debra having the next 5 yrs of races locked in already. You ladies made my PHM weekend memorable. I sat glued to Facebook anticipating where me and Debra would be next. These ladies went over and beyond to include us in to the weekend. Eventhough, I got lost in Magic Kingdom one night!!! loving th updates!!Another Stowaway Appears Along with Reminders from ElsaThe flight to Dallas was short and uneventful, as it is always but little did we know that we had something new waiting when we walked of the plane. FINALLY, Love Field renovations were done, actually a complete overhaul and it looked like an entire new airport. I wish I would have thought to stop and take a picture because it was BEAUTIFUL, but we were in too much of a rush to find a bathroom! With the first basic priority taken care of it was then time to find something to eat, since we were going to have a 2 hour layover and then a very late arrival into Orlando. Bet you can’t guess what all Texas girls gravitate to instantly….
Plus the beverage of choice to wash down this mound of carbs and spice…
We even decided to splurge on the Top Shelf! I might just add that this was a very wise choice as it was soooooo smooth and it was just enough to draw out another stowaway who was hiding and pouting because Debra got her favorite plain vanilla cupcake and she did not get her Red Velvet cupcake…
It was not long after that that our order of fajitas to split arrived. We were both pleasantly surprised how good they were considering they were at an airport restaurant that tried to have a more modern fro-fro spin on classic Tex-Mex.
We spent the next hour people watching to pass the time and debating on whether or not to order another round (which we didn’t, Bossy Tweedle…it is called pacing).
Instead we decided to hunt something sweet for the flight and of course Elsa had to make her presence known even in Dallas!
When it was time to board we were shocked to find a pretty empty plane and the sunset just about gone along with another good burst of snow flurries…another send off from Elsa who is apparently mad that we still did not have any chocolate cupcakes!
It took a little time to settle down Flat Kafi and Flat Debra….
And get them buckled for takeoff! Safety first ladies and you get your own seat! It was not long until both Flat Kafi and Flat Debra started in asking are we there “Are we there yet….” I sure wish I could have used that SW Free Movie coupon to entertain them, but of course we are on a flight with no WiFi…DARN SW Airlines, I WOULD HAVE USED THE FREE DRINK COUPON!
I love all of the Little Mermaid pictures!
Having stayed there twice, I agree with pretty much all of your ratings. We've actually never had those plumbing problems (although we had them at All-Star Sports on this trip). And we split hair and makeup - one did it by the vanity, the other by the table (I can do hair/makeup anywhere with a mirror and an outlet for my iron).
The rooms with two beds actually have double beds, not queen beds, so there's a bit more room .. but not much. We love the little mermaid rooms because we really don't spend much time in the room, and when we do, we like that it screams Disney. I think that if you're looking for relaxing, the values are definitely not right for you.
I prefer the calmness of the moderate & deluxe hotels. The values are cute, but just so over the top done & I don't know if I could do more than a night at one. Like you said, I don't know that I could ever feel relaxed there.
That bathroom did look a bit small...and the shower seemed dark with the work on the wall.

Bummer about the bathroom - weird that the toilet felt like it was going to suck in the entire bathroom - yet in actually had trouble sucking down anything.
That fight sounds crazy! Glad you finally got some magic with the cashiers admiring your cupcake ears. I was at Art of Animation all weekend and those 2 cupcakes were the only ones I saw. We weren't in the food court everyday, but we did look in the dessert case every time we went in.
That is a lot of Little Mermaid theming! Even the carpet is little mermaid!
I'm loving another running report. I'm not sure as another teacher how to make a WDW run work since I don't fly...I mean I don't fly . I have too few personal days to take time off during the school year. The Elsa references had me dying laughing. I "Hate" chocolate but I'd give anything for some if Elsa could stop all this snow nonsense. Can't wait to find out how your run turns out! Next time my students want to do a Flat Stanley project I'll know where to send them
Joining in! My dad recently threw out the idea of going to Disney if I'll run one of the races with him. I do not run.. I will run for Disney!
Can't wait to see the experience through your eyes, what a fun group!
Aw! I'm sorry your experience in Little Mermaid at AoA had bathroom issues. Being a party of 6 when we stayed there, we stayed in a Cars Land suite and the two bathrooms and extra space were perfect! I can imagine one bathroom in a smaller room would not be a cake walk for two adults. Weird about the bathroom issue... that is something I don't recall being a problem where we were last May. However, we were ground floor... not sure if that would have made a difference or not. Just thinking out loud!
I just realized I wasn't subscribed to your thread. *DOH!*
We stayed at AoA in 2013 in the Lion King section. Loved it!! I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
I can't believe that fight getting off ME. I tried really hard to be patient with my kids and really enjoy the trip and not let unmagical moments spoil anything. I have seen too many parents having meltdowns and screamig at kids, etc. just have fun people!!
