Hi, Christian! Welcome to planDisney.
One of the best parts about a Walt Disney World vacation is being at the heart of the magic and adventure at a
Disney Resort hotel. Not only do you get all the fun theming and
enchanting perks, you're also immersed in the storytelling Disney does so well (even before you set foot in the parks!).
Christian, when you book a stay at a Disney Resort hotel, your room location usually depends on the type of room you select. For example, at
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the standard rooms (which have a Little Mermaid theme) are located in the Little Mermaid section, whilst the Family Suites are spread out among the Finding Nemo, Cars, and Lion King areas. Since the Finding Nemo section is closest to Animation Hall (the main lobby, food court, and transportation), these suites tend to be considered the most "central" option. If you’d like a specific theme, be sure to book that room category. Just note that the Family Suites cost more than the standard Little Mermaid rooms. But they're totally worth it for the extra room, theming, and location.
If proximity is important to you, don't forget to use the Online Check-In feature in the
My Disney Experience app before your trip. There's a spot where you can add room requests. Whilst requests can't be guaranteed, Cast Members do their best to accommodate whenever possible.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Christian. Happy planning!
