Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

[WEDWDW]

So...we're about 1 week from AoA's opening! Is there any reason to believe it 'won't' open?? Assuming it does open on time, do you think that the menus for Landscape will be reduced or stay pretty much the same? I'm arriving Nov 12th and trying to plan well. Thanks!

If Everything Pop's Covid menu is any indication,the Lancscape menu will be VERY limited.

Thinking that you're right, but wishing that you're not. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have recently booked a May 2021 trip and we will be staying in a Little Mermaid room. This has probably already been answered, but since there are 329 pages in this thread......
I see that some of the LM rooms have a king bed. Is this the only bed or is there also a sofa sleeper?

Only the King Bed.

Have we gotten any updates on the refurbishment of the LM rooms? I know when it closed they hadn't gotten that many done, so I'm curious if they have been working on them recently or if what.

Since we haven't heard anything, I guess AoA will open on Sunday as planned. We come on Thursday 11/5 so i'm hopeful that AoA looks almost brand new again...

Happy reopening day for AoA. Every resort reopening is a great day for the CMs that work there and guests. In a time where so many things are still uncertain, I’ll take these positive moments whenever we can get them.

I hope those with upcoming trips have wonderful stays!

So did AoA open? I don’t see anything on the internet about it.

Yes, it opened. I've seen pictures on a website and a FB group. And one of the pictures was of a sign indicating that they are currently running busses to EP & DHS in addition to Skyliner. That's good news.

I’d love an update if anyone sees one on whether the finished the LM room refurb while it was closed!

So are all the pools closed or just the Nemo big blue one?

According to the Disney website, all of the pools are open. The Big Blue pool will be closed for refurbishment January 11, 2021 through early April.

I'm curious (too early now) .. what the opening of AoA does to the Skyliner lines. As I hope to be heading to AoA in 2 1/2 months, I wonder what sort of waits are occurring there for rope drop.

I never know if reports are legit but someone said yesterday buses were running to Epcot and HS from AOA as well as skyliner.

It feels like they would need to do that until social distancing is dropped .. especially since they theoretically have the bus capacity since what? 5-6 hotels that aren't even open right now?

 

[Dshelly2004]

Excited they have buses for HS instead of just the Skyliner. I definitely am excited about the skyliner but I didn't like 2 big resorts using it and then having to hop to another at CBR. 25% or not, that's still a lot of people trying to go to one place all at once.

 

[WEDWDW]

Does Pop Century also now have DHS/Epcot buses?

If not,do the AoA buses for DHS/Epcot also drop by Pop Century?

I’m thinking of staying at AoA in a couple of months, so I am interested in hearing people’s reviews after it’s been open for a little while. I was going to stay at CSR but the no QS at CSR made me decide on AoA if we go. I’m hesitant because I won’t have a car. Have the wait times for buses to MK, AK, EPCOT been okay? I typically rope drop and close parks. I would love to use the skyliner but I’m not sure about the wait times and transferring.
