Pixar-themed hotel buildings coming to Walt Disney World

The integration of Pixar characters into the Disney theme parks will reach a new level next year, with the opening not only of Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure, but also far less publicized—so far—Pixar-themed hotel properties at Walt Disney World.

The Art of Animation Resort, scheduled to open in the summer of 2012 near Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park, will include buildings themed inside and out for fans of Cars (concept art above) and Finding Nemo. The buildings are also distinct in another way: They’ll be among the first at Walt Disney World to be configured entirely as “family suites” with a master bedroom and multiple sleeping areas.
