Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the newest value resort at Walt Disney World.  The themeing of the resort is based on the Disney and Pixar animation from the late 1980’s to today. The theme is clearly represented in the resort lobby’s Christmas tree which is all decorated in snow white with brightly colored bulbs. Like many things at Disney, to really appreciate this Christmas tree, you need to get in close to see the details.

The Christmas tree in the lobby of Disney’s Art of Animation featuring animator character sketches of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, young Simba from The Lion King and Guido from Cars.

In the tree’s branches and surrounded by lights are animator sketches from the movies.  I found Ariel from The Little Mermaid, young Simba from The Lion King and Guido,  Luigi’s sidekick at Casa Della Tires, from Cars.
