Walt Disney World has completed the newest addition to its lineup of more than twenty hotels. With the debut of “The Little Mermaid” wing, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is now fully open for Guests to explore and immerse themselves in four separate animated stories.

On Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012, the “Flippin’ Fins” pool, surrounded by larger-than-life characters, made its big splash along with 864 standard hotel rooms that sleep up to four Guests. Take a trip under the sea with Ariel and friends in the video below.

This wing of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort based on “The Little Mermaid” features one of three pools in the hotel, complimenting the “Big Blue Pool” in the “Finding Nemo” wing as well as the “Cozy Cone Motel” pool in the “Cars” wing. But whether Guests stay in these wings or the pool-less wing-themed to the jungles of “The Lion King,” all are invited to explore the entire resort and enjoy its many amenities.

Unlike the other wings of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, “The Little Mermaid” wing features exterior entry rooms, so there are no indoor, air-conditioned hallways, and elevators are located outside as well.

Nightly rates vary widely across Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, not only with each season throughout the year, but also especially between the standard rooms for “The Little Mermaid” wing, which start at $94, and the family suites of the other three wings. But whether staying there or not, all Walt Disney World Guests can and should at least visit Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, explore its character-filled grounds, and grab a meal at its unique Landscape of Flavors food court, as this new hotel is unlike all others on the property.
