Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

[dansdad]

I wanted to write into the resort to compliment our CM at check in; she was so wonderful, but I don't know where to send something like that. Any suggestions? TIA!

That's very nice of you. Your email will go into her file and they make a big deal out of that.

Stayed in Lion king last time.. This time we are going to the cars section requesting building 1 -- Good choice?

We have stayed there and it is a very convenient location. My kids love the Cars section!

Follow up question - has anyone had any luck buying coffee for this type of pot prior to the trip? If not do they sell extra in the shops - we all like coffee and they never leave enough. I would also like to purchase a stronger blend if that is an option.

TIA

I have yet to find any for sale anywhere. FYI, just ask housekeeping for extra. When we first get to our room, I call and ask them to bring extras by for the first morning and to leave extras every day. When we've done this, they leave about 6-8 extra pods every morning.

Ok I will definitely do that - and thanks for saving me a fools errand - is the coffee any good?

You're welcome. Ever since they switched over to Joffrey's, it is 100x better.

We were pixie dusted an upgrade from our LM room to a Cars Family Suite. The room was so well themed, clean and oddly quiet for a value resort!

Anyone know how common free upgrades from LM rooms to suites are? I would love an upgrade and LM rooms are sold out for our dates, suites are still showing availability. (I would have booked a suite but couldn't stomach the more than double price tag, ha!) A friend of mine who lives in Florida is meeting us there for 1 night and we requested adjoining rooms. I wonder if this will decrease our chances of being upgraded?

Upgrades happen when the Little Mermaids are at, or near, 100% capacity and there is a maintenance issue with a room or block or rooms and they have to take them out of service. The people who were slotted for those rooms are then upgraded to Suites. Since the LM rooms run at high capacity pretty much all the time, how often upgrades happen are determined by how many times there are issues with rooms.

Are there no doors between any of the sleeping areas?

The master bedroom has a door -- it is a completely separate sleeping area (just like a master bedroom with bath at home). The other two areas are not separated from each other by anything other than space. There's a floor plan on the first post of this thread.

My daughter is there now (checked in today) and she was upgraded from a LM room to a Cars Suite. She's only there for 2 nights to check in to the DCP and she's traveling by herself, so it's a bit of a waste, but she's thrilled.

No, there are not, however there are laundry stations throughout the resort.

Hello!!! We are going for our first trip and staying in the Nemo suites! I had a few questions I thought you all may be able to help me with!
1) do the televisions in the rooms have the ports open to be able to connect a DVD player to if we brought one along with cords?
2) what should we request to try and get the quietest room?
3) what time does mouse keeping usually come?
thank you in advance!

My sister just booked the Nemo suite and was wondering if she needs to put the murphy bed and sofa back together each morning or does housekeeping do that? We have DVC so everyone just throws their beds back together but I told her that I would ask.

Thanks, I am really enjoying this thread with her she is so excited!

When we went in 2013 housekeeping put the beds back for us. We left them down the first day thinking it would just be easier since we were going to be coming back from the park late, and they were back up. They also rearranged the kids' stuffed animals into cute poses every day. It was Fun to see where they would be when we'd come back.

Thank you I will pass that along!
