Opening Dates Now Set for Disney’s Art of Animation Resort 

at Walt Disney World Resort

Great news to share today. The teams creating Disney’s Art of Animation Resort tell us that the wings dedicated to popular films “Cars,” “The Lion King,” and “The Little Mermaid” will now be opening sooner than you can imagine after the grand opening of the “Finding Nemo”-themed wing on May 31. Here’s the official schedule:

• Finding Nemo (Grand opening) – Opens May 31, 2012
• Cars – Opens June 18, 2012
• Lion King – Opens August 10, 2012
• Little Mermaid – Opens September 15, 2012

And guests can begin booking rooms March 23! It seems like just yesterday when we shared the first image of Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) putting the finishing touches on the new resort’s marquee and Nemo icons. Now, we’re closing in on the big day – May 31. Let us know which wing you’re most looking forward to.

This is certainly going to be one of the best-looking Disney Value Resorts ever built. We will continue to keep you up-to-date, and you can sure that we will visit the resort once it opens. We can't wait!
