Royal Rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside As you can see, there is a HUGE difference, and people are not too happy about it. One of our readers expressed their opinions heavily, saying, “Wish I could have stayed there BEFORE. They have ruined it. They have a really bad decorator/designer. Needs to be fired.” (@rebeccadopp14 on Instagram) Royal Rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside MANY other users gave their thoughts on the rooms, and they were mostly negative, wishing for the original design to come back and include more colors than the simple whites and beiges. @radruby89 wrote, “man I really wish Disney would stop refurbishing everything and saying it’s “modern, light, and clean” when all they’ve done is made another magical and unique room look exactly like the rest.” Another view of the whole room This is why people are hesitant about Disney’s newest announcement of the Art of Animation room refurbishments. In summer 2027, this resort will be getting a refresh in several of its themed rooms, including The Little Mermaid section and the Finding Nemo section, and more! The Little Mermaid section of Art of Animation This resort is HIGHLY themed and immersive, so guests are afraid that certain elements will be taken out and the theming will become more subtle, like the others. Right now, guests are able to stay in the Little Mermaid rooms with decor on the walls and sleep in their own clamshell!

Well, we actually got a sneak peek at the new Little Mermaid rooms at a recent media event, and they look STUNNING. We aren’t able to share the art we saw just yet, so you’ll have to take our word for it. The beds will still be a clamshell, just an updated version of one, and the rooms will be painted as if you’re going under the sea! So, there’s no need to worry about the modern whites and beiges that happen to be in a lot of other refurbished Disney resort rooms.
