Disney is constructing a new hotel complex called the Art of Animation Resort on the Walt Disney World Property that will house approximately 2,000 guests. The hotel will bring to life four animated movies from Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar: those films include Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid, Cars and The Lion King. The hotel rooms will be able to accommodate families with up to six members. From the preview pictures the hotel will truly be a one of a kind experience!
It has been announced that Disney Parks is opening a new land within the Animal Kingdom theme park. This exciting new land will be based off the Avatar movies both present and future. Disney is working with James Cameron to design the land and attractions based off the current movie but also future ones. This is a great idea because instead of basing the themed land only off of one film it will based off all of them in pre-production. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2013! What does everyone think?!
I have always been a huge fan of Disney. My family and I would venture down to Florida once a year if not twice when I was a child up to the age of 18 to visit the Walt Disney World Resort. At the age of 18, I had been to Walt Disney World more times then I could count and it had never really come to my mind of how this amazing place was created.
At the beginning of my senior year of high school I saw a television program on the History Channel featuring the Walt Disney Imagineers, the people responsible for creating the most magical place on earth. It was after this television program I became infatuated with the idea of Disney Imagineers. A small group of extremely talented individuals in a wide range of fields were directly responsible for the creation of everything Disney.
Walt Disney resorts, theme parks, attractions, hotels, water parks and cruise ships are not even comparable to their competition. Disney is always looking to re-invent themselves with the most innovative technology and storytelling. Every Disney attraction has a unique story that unfolds while you are experiencing it first hand.
“Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world”. – Walter Elias Disney
Disney will always be apart of me and will never get old in my mind. Their attractions bring you back to a time when you didn’t have a care in the world and immerse you into a world where anything is possible. Walter Elias Disney envisioned a place where there was no age distinction and everyone wished upon a star. For this reason Disney will always be one of favorite companies and destinations.
