Anyone know what time contemporary grounds opens?

What do you mean? You mean for the day or are they closed for construction?

For the day. I'm an early riser (work at 7am) and don't like wake my family. So I dress in the dark, slip out of the room and go exploring for a couple hours. Need my coffee.

Contemporary Grounds is the name of the coffee shop in the lobby of the CR.

It's open from 0530 - 11 PM. They also serve baked goods.

I've been reading up on the resort today and I'm sure it's 6.30 or 7 am

to the DIS and the CR/BLT thread, LynnK! Will you be staying soon at CR or BLT? Contemporary Grounds opens at 0530.

 

[WDWKOOK]

Oh. I see.

Oh my, I thought that you thought that the grounds of the Contemporary were under construction

Ohhhh 5:30 is perfect! I wish I could sleep late but even weekends and vacation I just wake up and ready to roll. I'm at Starbucks by 6 or 6:30 every morning. I can nap though!

 

[disneynanacat]

Can you fill a refillable mug there with plain coffee?

I feel your pain. I start work at 5 a.m. 7:00 is sleep in for me.

CA Grill ADRs are in fact up and running as of about 0555 today! I Was able to get several ADRs (which I will, of course, cancel the excess as soon as the family decide on THE one). Got Christmas Day and Christmas Eve - no glitches, no error messages, no delays - this is so not like Disney

Here's some photos from last year to get everyone excited about booking:

Yes, the other hot choices are hot chocolate and tea bags with hot water.

I did lol. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

You're welcome, Kathie.

Thank you We stayed one night on 2nd July this year and hoping to return for 5/6 nights next summer

I hope you get to book soon. Keep us posted!
