The opening of Art of Animation was a big change to me. We stayed in 2012, right when it opened, and it was like having two resorts for the price of one, at which to eat, shop, and explore. You aren't allowed to swim there though, but as you know, Pop has great pools.
I'm disappointed to hear about the change to the cheesecake. It must have happened after our 2012 stay, as we still enjoyed the sliced version.

They have painted a wall a greenish blue color in the room. And possibly have taken down the border. I think the border is gone but I'm not sure. The dressers are new and much smaller. Only three drawers are in these new dressers, if I remember correctly. They now have a fridge in all rooms...in the dresser. There are some new TVs also. Then the comforters are gone. They have taken them and made a runner type thing out of them that sits on the end of the bed. Far as I can tell, there is no blanket, only white sheets. I am bringing blankets. I think that is it for the inside of the rooms. To get into the room, the card key is gone and you now use the magic band.
I think that if you do online check in, all resorts now send you a text with your room number and you can bypass the front desk.
There are supposed to be new washers and dryers that can be run from credit instead of change. And you are supposed to get a text when the cycle is finished.
One thing I am hoping for are the new boards that display the bus times.
And I think Pop might have a movie and fire pit now. I am going to be looking into that soon.
Also, I have read the food court menu has changed and not many are happy. The refillable mugs now have chips in them that only allows a refill every few minutes.
I think that is it.
There is a blanket - same color as sheets. No bus boards. And the movie is in the pool area. Glad to hear about the washer and dryers. I didn't use those when I went in April.

The blanket is actually sandwiched between two white flat sheets.

I think the top layers a really thin duvet cover that replaced the pattern cover that used to be on the bed. I like the layers. Not too hot. I just wish the values had ceiling fans.
