The new rooms at Caribbean Beach are designed around a Little Mermaid theme, which means we were super excited to finally get to see them. We did get a sneak peek in late 2022, but we're going to show you EVERYTHING in the new “Under The Sea” rooms.

Joshua, you are correct. The rooms in the Trinidad section of the resort have been recently renovated and are now themed to the Little Mermaid. I was able to tour one of these rooms since a friend was staying there and I was very impressed by the re-theming of this space.
The Little Mermaid Rooms are more of a standard hotel room size with either two queen beds or one king bed. The theming is very fun and over the top like you would expect from this resort. CHECK OUT OUR ROOM TOUR!
The Art of AnimationLittle Mermaid rooms are located as far away from the bus stop and Disney Skyliner as you can be. Depending on how fast you walk, you are a 10+ minute walk to both transportation options.
The standard rooms at Disney's Art of Animation Resort have a delightful Little Mermaid theme that is practically perfect for kids. In these rooms, you'll find two queen beds, allowing up to four people to sleep in one room. However, these rooms are very small and are quite a walk from Disney Skyliner.
Art of Animation is the most expensive of the value options at Walt Disney World. Along with Disney's Pop Century Resort, Art of Animation is priced above the three All-Star Resorts. Non-discounted nightly room rates for Little Mermaid Rooms at Art of Animation in 2024 range from $209 to $413.
Adjoining rooms are available in all of the buildings. Connecting rooms (rooms with a door that connect two rooms to each other) are only available in the Little Mermaid buildings, but not in any of the family suite buildings (Lion King, Cars, and Finding Nemo).
The details in The Little Mermaid rooms are amazing, and we found the room to be a comfortable and fun place to stay. The room size measures 277 square feet and has two double beds.
Often Skyliner will start running 30-60 minutes prior to park opening. Ask at your hotel what time it will start running. Don't forget to allow time to board Skyliner during rush hour, wait times can be 15-20 minutes during this period. Yes, another reason to get an early start on your day at Walt Disney World!
Are there long lines to board Skyliner? During the morning and evening rush lines can be as long as 15 to 20 minutes at the Caribbean Beach station. Transportation at Walt Disney World whether you're waiting for a bus, monorail, boat or gondola, will usually be about 20 minutes when the parks are opening and closing.
