The first time I went to Disney World (I was 6) we stayed at the great All-Star Movies Resort and in the Toy Story section, with the HUGE Buzz Lightyear just outside our room.
Well, the folks at Disney Parks have announced that they are planning a new movie-themed resort – Disney’s Art of Animation Resort – and it sounds even better. The rooms will all be suites and there will be four themes: “The Lion King”, “Finding Nemo”, “The Little Mermaid” and (where I’ll be staying) “Cars”.
The new report will be built right next to the current Pop Century Resport, and they say it’ll be open by the end of 2012. And instead of a gigantic Buzz, one of the main attractions will be a 35 feet tall King Triton.
On the Disney movie front, the new, animated “Winnie the Pooh” has a release date – July 15, 2011. This will be Pooh’s first big screen appearance since “Pooh’s Heffalump Movie” in 2005.
