Art of Animation!

As far as I can tell, there are NO preferred rooms here. When you go to book, you're not given an option for preferred room locations. You are only given the choice of which themed room you want.

Finding Nemo section would be the one that is closest to Animation Hall and the Big Blue Pool.

Little Mermaid section is practically in another County...it's a long, long haul.

Probably because you're already paying extra for the rooms being family suites.

We put in for a room request to be closer to the big pool but there are not preferred rooms.

Well, considering it's only me and DH staying there in October, there's no way we're going to pay the high price for a suite, so we'll walk the extra few minutes from the Little Mermaid section to the main building. If it's laid out like Pop, then even the furthest room is only a few more minutes of walking (based on our experience there).... Considering ALL of the walking we do in the parks, a few hundred extra steps won't be bad at all.

In fact, from looking at the map, the distance to the bus stop from LM buildings 7 and 9 really isn't much further at all than Cars building 2, especially if you're staying on the back end of 2. Sure, LM building 8 is furthest out, but it's just a 30 second walk across the pool area and you're already at the other LM buildings. Then another couple minutes and you're at the LK section. So really, at the most you're a few minutes further away than LK or Cars.

Can't wait to take a walk through the Cars section.... It looks SO cool!!

We will be in the LM section in Sept - we check in the day LM section opens . Super excited - after reading your post I am even more excited. Our kids think we are staying at the PoP. They are going to be floored when we pull up the the AoA and tell them this is where we are staying.

AWWW That is super exciting !!! You gotta take pics of their faces as soon as they see it !!!!

If I ever stay at AoA I think I would really want to stay in the Cars section. It looks awesome!

My DD and I were just there looking around the other day....the Cars section was by far the coolest !!! We had to look through the fence on the Lion King side as it was not yet complete. It's located across the hour glass lake behind POP,which if you run is a great place !! Have fun, it looks to be a "keeper" !!
