Hi everyone I am back, well not home yet now my family and I are in Clearwater Beach. Anyway the Marriott we are staying at has a free Business Center I will post my Contemporary review from this month and now can ask all the questions you want.
Now when we arrived back on December 12th once again we had a very easy check-in. Our room was ready when we got there and we were in #4820 which meant we were over the Fantasia and Bay View Gifts store, so we were far away from the Chef Mickey's side. Now like we have done in the past for my mom's breakfast we always request a half a grapefruit because it's something not offered in the Atrium Club lounge. Well to our great surprise they had them ready the next morning because in the past they never got them until our 2nd day.
The Cast Members we encoutered all over were very friendly and did not meet anyone who was rude and etc.
The Contempo Cafe as always was great and I got to try their Mahi Mahi Sandwich and it's now become one of my favorite things to eat, so I obviously ordered it more then once.
The parks were also great and it helped going the week before Christmas and getting to them when they opened.
Now we did run into a few Monorail problems while we were there. On our 1st night one of the Resort lines was down, so it meant longer lines. The 2nd time we were at the TTC when we were told to get off because there was a problem, so it took them about 20 minutes to finally move it so another one could come into the station. Finallly two nights ago when leaving the Polynesian the Resort line broke down all over so the Cast Member said walk to the TTC, get on the Express Monorail and walk back to the Contemporary. Instead we took a taxi from the Polynesian to the Contemporary which was a total of $6.50 and got $10.00 taken off our room because of the Monorail breaking down and the Cast Members did not expect us to pay for a taxi in that situation.
Finally in our room was a bounceback offer and we took advantage of it, getting 40% off for the Atrium Club - Bay Lake View for this coming August, from the 10th - 20th. The total came out to be $349.00 and that includes the extra $25.00 for the 3rd adult. However that's still an amazing deal to get.
Also I will be posting a lot of pictures when we get home so be on the look out for them.
