More Disney's Art of Animation Photos

The other day we had taken a quick "virtual tour" of the new sections of Disney's Art of Animation Resort featuring The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Because I NEVER do things in the correct order, or when everything is all hyped up, here are some photos I discovered from earlier in the summer when the Finding Nemo and Cars sections opened.

 I'm not feeling too chatty this morning so enjoy the photos!






























ABOUT THE RESORT

The resort is designed "with families in mind." It will feature four of Disney's popular character themes: Cars, Finding Nemo, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. Much like the other Disney Value Resorts, giant versions of various items will be built around the hotel on each of the ten wings, such as a 35-foot model of King Triton. In total, there will be 1,980 rooms. 1,120 of them are family suites capable of housing up to six people, featuring living rooms and bedrooms. The remaining 864 will sport the standard value layout on September 15, 2012. When completed, the resort will have a total of ten buildings, as well as three themed pools.
Finding Nemo
The Finding Nemo section of the resort will be themed with the ocean setting featured in the film, with underwater plant and animal decorations throughout the buildings. This is the first area of the resort, which opened on May 31, 2012.
Cars
The Cars section of the resort will be themed like the Cozy Cone Motel that has featured in the film. Resort buildings will be themed with the movie's characters, including Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, and Luigi and Guido. This section of the resort opened on June 18.
The Lion King
The Lion King section of the resort will feature a "natural" setting, such as that found in the wild. The third section of the resort opened its doors on August 10.
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid section of the resort will be themed with 600 cutout objects on resort balconies. "Under the Sea" decorations will be incorporated throughout the section. This section of the resort will have exterior walkways, where the other sections will have enclosed interior walkways between the rooms. It will open on September 15 as the fourth and final section of the resort.
The Art of Animation 
Disney's Art of Animation Resort doesn't just celebrate four great animated movies, it also highlights the act of animation itself. This is reflected in the sketchbook motif and simple line drawings on the building exteriors and in the names of the retail and public areas: Landscapes Cafe, Animation Hall, Ink and Paint Shop, and Pixel Play Arcade.

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths". - Walt Disney

Greetings, fellow Disney enthusiasts! I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence from the website. Due to recent personal and professional changes, I have had to prioritize certain aspects of my life over my beloved hobby. However, I am determined to turn this passion into something even more significant in the near future. As a result, the website will be undergoing a much-needed redesign within the next month or so. During this time, no new updates will be available on the site. However, please feel free to stay up-to-date with any breaking news or updates by following my Twitter or Instagram feeds.
