Oh, how exciting!! I have fond memories of staying at the Contemporary on my very first trip to WDW when I was 6 or 7.
I can definitely see how you would like it, with the monorail and all the extra space.
Loved it!
great pictures of the girls--they sure looked like the enjoyed themselves
My girls would love to swim all day long. The pool is very important to them, and a slide is a must.
I knew she would do it, what a brave little girl! The girls have grown so much since last year, Hannah looks so tall. Wow, that pool looks fabulous, I'm glad you had some time to spend there and enjoy it! It's a great nap inducer....
They even had guards scrubbing the tiles... super nice!
I love the updates...how great to get a free stay at Contemporary!!! The girls look like they had a wonderful time at the pool...I CAN'T wait for our trip! I look forward to reading more.
Trip reports are great for getting you excited!
Looks like a great time at the pool! Glad to see Luke napped too.
Love the pics of the girls in front of the spraying water.
I didn't realize they were building a splash park! That is really great to hear. They had it under construction when we visited in January, but it was not evident what was going on. I'm really glad they are expanding the area-it seemed like a very simple pool for a Deluxe when compared to AKL or WL.
I'm really glad to read your positive review of the CR, it just makes me want to stay there even more!!!!
I wanted to see some drawings of the planned areas, but it was not that close to being done. It will make for a great area. The theming is nothing compared to others, but it is fun area!
I'm all caught up!! WOW Laura! Your upgrade is wonderful! I've never heard of them upgrading to a totally different resort--what a surprise! That kid sign-in book is adorable!! Your girls look like they are having a ton of fun and your room looks super-nice!! Can't wait to read more!!!
I was shocked to have them do it the day of, but I had kinda of forgotten about the redo area. We could see them working when we were on the buses at CSR.
I think the slide was a hit!
Such cute pictures of everyone!!
Can't wait to hear about DTD.
The Contemporary rooms look so nice! Not generally my style but as others have said would love to try - especially if I'm not paying!
I would stay there again, it is just so $$$$
What a fun time had by all at the pool! The girls looked like they were having a blast!! YAY for Luke taking a nap poolside after enjoying the pool for the bit!!
Can't wait to hear about your DTD night!
He was worn out, and after a few swim minutes he was rubbing his eyes, which means let me sleep. Just give the boy a bottle and bam!
Look at that sweet, sleeping baby, and those long, long eyelashes!!!
The girls look like they had a blast swimming and sliding!
He was just so good the whole trip. No one could say anything about "the poor little baby." He loves to see things and to be held, so WDW was great to him!
That pictures of the girls brought tears to my eyes. Look how happy they are! I love it!
What Luke is doing - that will be Bella. She is a good sleeper, thank heavens, so hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle for Jill and not too hard on Bella.
Looking forward to DTD pictures!
Seemingly since we got home he has been a fantastic sleeper... maybe he is still worn out!
What a fun afternoon! That pool looks like great fun. You are certainly selling me on staying there in the near future!
You kids are so adorable. It looks like they lived it up at the pool!
The next day was fun fun fun too! We love to swim.
Oh my goodness! I can't get over how much older Hannah looks compared to last years pictures. Wow!
So glad the pool was a hit! The slide looks fun.
She is a big girl, she could be in first grade this fall, but I have no regrets, I love having her home and cannot believe she is going to go to school everyday!
Now that looks like a fun pool. Your girls are so brave! I hope A. attempts the slides this year too!
Luke looks so sweet sleeping in his stroller. What a cutie!!
I would have had to think about moving for a one night stay. That would be a headache for sure.
Emily is brave because she does not believe she is the little sister... although we had a tearful moment later in the trip... she tried to be "tall"
Looks like you had a great time at the pool! The slide looks like so much fun! Luke looks so cute taking a little rest.
I want my nap poolside!
The pool looks like so much fun! I love the pictures of the girls with the water spraying up behind them...really neat the way it looks! Luke is just so precious sleeping in his stroller.
Em loved to swim under the sprayers like a tunnel....
Great pool pics. I love the one of Em going down the slide and the one of the girls on the steps looking back. Too cute
I like seeing all the Comtemporary pics I stayed there once as a little girl. We always visit the Comtemporary for Chef Mickey's and the gift shop but it is nice seeing the pool area.
We saw the pool via the boat from the WL in our hurry to go to Chef Mickeys. All the DIS research you do, and bam you are thrown into new territory!
