I just talked the Hubby into a 2 night/1 park day trip over Valentines Day weekend. Staying at AOA in a Little Mermaid room. Does anyone know if all those rooms have been renovated?

The Little Mermaid rooms were refurbished recently. I don't know if *all* of the room were refurbished, but one site I checked said that all of the rooms were refurbished. That might be something to discuss with Disney. The Lobby was also refurbished.

The last time I visited WDW, I stayed in a Little Mermaid Room and really enjoyed the theming of the area.

Here is an article on the changes that were made, if you hadn't seen photos of the changes. There are several other articles and videos on the refurbished rooms if you search the internet.

We stayed in the Little Mermaid section a few years ago. Be prepared for a long walk to the main building and buses. We had no complaints about anything else, just that it was the longest walk we've ever had at a resort.

I stayed in a Little Mermaid room in January 2020, just before the refurb. I'm very comfortable with walking, but that long walk back to my room after a day at the parks was more exhausting than I expected. But I loved the theming, and I was even able to see the Hollywood Studios fireworks. The food court there is one of my favorites, and even when I stay at Pop, I will walk over to Art to eat there.

Just got home from AoA. We stayed in a Lion King suite, which was great. Very nicely refurbed, tons of space. Only gripe is the fridge did not have a little freezer section. We had watched a vlog showing a mini fridge with the freezer section in a Lion King suite, and banked on it, buttttttt that wasn't the case. Just a warning to others, but we had a blast and loved AoA
