A PHOTO TOUR OF A STANDARD LITTLE MERMAID ROOM
Standard 4-person Little Mermaid rooms have essentially the same layout and size as those in the other value resorts. What’s different is the specific decor, and the deep Disney theming that you won’t find in the other values.
You are “Under the Sea” in this room, a position that the carpet and how it works with curtains  and the beds is meant to reinforce.
Closing your eyes and saying “I believe in orange as an undersea color! Â I do!!” helps a bit in getting this.
The room has two full beds, with Sebastian and Flounder between them. The “pearls” on the headboards are reading lights.
Here”s a closer view of the headboards…
…and of Sebastian and Flounder.
Towards the end of the beds, there’s a painting of Prince Eric.
On the other side of the room, you’ll find a table and chairs with a fun light fixture and mirror above, and a dresser with a TV above and a fridge inside. No coffee maker, though…
The chairs are fun for kids, but cheap looking…
…while the table has these sheets from a musical score embedded.
The dresser has the TV above, drawers on one side, and a mini-fridge on the other.
Here’s the drawers and mini-fridge. Note only three drawers. There’s a shelf above the hanging rack in the bath with more storage, and also room for suitcases used for storage on the floor between the fridge and the bath.
The bath is separated from the main living/sleeping area by a curtain.
There’s also coat hooks in this area.  The wall where the coats hooks are is where the door would be in a room outfitted with connecting doors.
Here’s a closer view of the coat hooks.
The bath has a single sink…
…and a large hanging area to its side, with a shelf above it, and an ironing board, iron, and safe.
The toilet and tub are closed off into their own space.  The shower curtain presents the first appearance of Ariel in the room.
The tub surround is themed to Ariel’s lair.

Dave! You are amazing! Which four character meals are the best for a 4 and 7 year old girls. If we do the Cinderella in the castle…it uses two of our dinners. We have a total of four dinners.. Should we do it or just do others that just take one ticket per dinner? LMK your thoughts. Thank you!
Hi Frank, and thanks! Parking is right outside the buildings.

Hi,
Thanks so much. Your info is stellar. Question: How far away from the Mermaid rooms would parking be???
Much thanks,
Frank
Yolanda, AofA Little Mermmiad rooms have much more kid appeal than any of your other options, but are tiny. CB has the most kid appeal of the moderates, with CS next. My moderate rankings are here: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2009/10/28/the-moderate-resorts-at-walt-disney-world/ but there’s pros and cons to each–so read the reviews linked to from there!
Yolanda, POFQ is much more compact and easy to navigate, but POR has more amenities (table service restaurant, marina, etc.) So while I personally prefer POFQ, I rank POR higher for the typical family.
