WDW has released more details about the new Art of Animation resort:
Located adjacent to the Pop Century Resort (the site was originally supposed to be Phase II of Pop), the Art of Animation Resort will be a Value Resort and will feature 864 themed rooms in 'The Little Mermaid' wings and 1,120 family suites in 'The Lion King',' Cars' and 'Finding Nemo' wings.
The 1st phase - the 'Finding Nemo' suites- will open May 2012, and the last phase by the end of 2012 (the 2012 apocalypse notwithstanding) will be 'The Little Mermaid'-themed rooms.
Concept Art: Walt Disney Company
Closing:
Toontown Fair at the Magic Kingdom will close forever in February 2011. After the 11th, the Barnstormer will be the only thing left standing (and that will be re-themed).
Now, I swear that I heard a local newsperson report that Mickey's and Minnie's houses will be re-located ( to DHS ??) and I have to say that I hope this is TRUE because Minnie's House is one of my most favorite things in the MK.
Does anyone have verification of this?
