10. Rolling Out the Carpet

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort covers 87 acres, one of the largest resort complexes on Disney
property. In fact the 227,000 lineal feet of carpet used inside the resort could stretch from downtown Orlando all the way to the Kennedy Space Center, about an hour’s drive away!
