aoa fun facts

don't know if this was put out here yet but thought it was interesting facts about the new aoa resort

Total property size: 87 acres
The Nemo pool has 310,000 gallons and is the largest pool on Disney property, not counting water parks
If you combined all the swimming pools, you could park 125 cars inside the pools
For the first time ever at any Disney resort hotel, in-room decor pieces may be purchased at the gift shop. Ink & Paint Shop offers such items as the "Bruce" shower curtain or cozy cone lamps
The flooring in Landscape of Flavors is made from all recyclable materials. And Guests will dine with real silverware on melamine, reusable dishware instead of paper and plastic
Guests can enjoy the convenience of a self-service business center, the first one to be offered at a value resort
The Pixel Play arcade is cashless; but instead uses a swipe card with recharging stations
Its 27 acres of landscaping and irrigation is the equivalent of twenty football fields
With 227,000 lineal feet of carpet could stretch from downtown Orlando to Kennedy Space Center
There are over 529,000 square feet of ceramic tiles on the project, enough to cover a standard two-lane road four miles long
If you stacked up all the doors at the resort, they would be as tall as the Empire State Building
There's enough metal railing to wrap around the new Amway Center eight times
The project used 23,000 gallons of paint, which is enough to fill a typical backyard swimming pool
There are over 2,300 parking spaces within the project, which is approximately the number of players in the NFL
More than 800 construction jobs were created, and at full operation it will create 750 resort hotel jobs

I posted this in another thread but there are beds in the rooms that fold up into tables, in the Nemo pool you can hear sounds underwater, and you can only get into the pools if you are staying at that resort...they will have RFID scanners that you have to scan your room key from the resort to get in
