Hello Charlotte,
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question!
I wanted to be sure I gave you the correct information, so I just spoke with someone about amenities that will be available to you at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort in your Little Mermaid Room. Those amenities include a hair dryer, free WiFi, an in-room safe, television, telephone with voice mail, iron and ironing board and a mini-fridge. A DVD is not available in the room, though the TV does have hook-ups that would allow you to use your own cables to plug in your own portable DVD player. I found a photo of the hook-ups on the unofficial site www.blog.touringplans.com (search for "Staying at the Art of Animation Resort: Info for the Grown-Ups" to find that and the photo is about a third of the way down the page). You might enjoy some of the other great information and photos in that article, as well.
I hope that helps with your planning, Charlotte, but we'd love to hEAR from you with any other questions you have!
Wishing you a most magical vacation!
Beth
