Could someone post the current resort activity sheet? We totally forgot to do the animation class on our first stay. Going to put it on my itinerary this time!! TIA!!!
We did online check in and it was pretty quick. The resort is very close to DHS so not long at all. Had great luck with the buses all week. Always seemed like we never waited more than 10 min tops.
So much great information, thank you! Would someone who has stayed in the Mermaid Rooms offer me some advice? Did you find the rooms a far walk to the Buses? Food? We have never stayed at this property, however I am strongly considering it for a mom and daughter trip!
I was originally a Poly snot (won't say snob) Until our first stay at AoA we stayed in Lion King. I am IN LOVE with the resort Don't get me wrong yes there were bumps, yet this was an AMAZING, FUN and PERFECT resort!!! Made my family into a AoA SNOT!!!!
We are going to WDW for a few days in Feb before a cruise, and I kept changing my mind over and over and over about resort to stay at. It will be me, my husband, and daughter, who will be 2 at the time. Originally I was thinking AKL or WL, but then I thought we would probably enjoy it more to have a family suite with a separate room that DD could go to bed early in, since she sleeps a lot more than we do. DD also loves Finding Nemo, and all things sea creature, and she loves splash parks and swimming pools. Although the theming of some other resorts appeals more to me, I think she would love this resort the most. Saving some money doesnt hurt either, and we had a great time when we stayed at POP in 2012.
I forgot to say anything about it when I made the reservation, but does anyone know what the process is for getting a crib, or bed rails? By that point bed rails might be ok. And which bed in the family suite is lowest to the ground? Thanks!
I think your 2 year old will absolutely love AoA, my DD4 and DS22 month (twins) really loved each section, the pool and the splash area.
I don't know if you'll save too much since the suites are more than the usual value rooms, but she will love it there.
We actually requested 2 pack and plays for our boys and bed rails for the queen bed for our daughter. We put all 3 in the bedroom and have the rest of the room to ourselves at night. I think the lowest to the ground would be the pull out couch, but we didn't use that. DW and I slept on the murphy bed, which was pretty comfortable and not as tight on room as I was afraid.
Just in case you get there and the pack and play doesn't work and you can't get risks for some reason, you can always make up the couch back cushion as a bed and put it right on the floor. It is shaped like a changing table pad. We noticed that it would make a perfect toddler bed, and a few other DISers used it that way too. We lived AoA so much in March that we are headed back there this fall . Enjoy!!
I'll be here for Spring Break 2015! I booked the Finding Nemo Suite for 6!
Is it possible that during such a busy time I won't get the resort type I asked for?
