Ok everything is un packed so now I can write a quick review of my families latest stay at the Contemporary and the Atrium Club.

When my family and I arrived back on August 7th at 2:50 PM everything was 100% at check-in. We told the Cast Member working at the bell stand we were staying on the Atrium Club and a few minutes later a very nice bellman took my family and I up there. We were happy to know that our room was ready right away so there was no extra waiting for our room. Once again we had made our same request for Grapefruit when my Mom has breakfast and like in the past we had no trouble with it. Later that night my Mom asked for some Caffeine Free Diet Coke because it was not put out like in the past, so the Cast Member we asked went to find some. Then we decided to head off to Gasparilla's at the Grand Floridian for a late meal since Earl of Sandwich was way to busy and when we came back there was a 12 pack of Caffeine Free Diet Coke, along with another 6 cans. So in total there was 18 cans which was un expected. The only thing we wished we did was thank this Cast Member because we never saw her again for our whole trip.

Besides all that the food on the 12th floor was amaizing. We took a lot of advantage with the food offerings at 5:00 PM and to others who say you can't make a whole meal out of them, well after eating up there we were very full. My favorite night was Thursday when they had Chicken Wings and Ribs. My other favorite items was the Beef Wellington Puff Pastries on Tuesday's and the minni Pizza's on Wednesday's.

Finally as promised here are some pictures of the Contemporary where there was some renovation going on and other pictures of the Atrium Club foods and WDW. I would also like to say that these pictures were taken with my cell phone camera if you have trouble viewing them, but in my personal opinion I think they look fine.

Incase anyone is wondering the 1st picture is of the new store in the middle of the 4th floor which will replace the Fantasia store. The 2nd picture is a wall covering half of the check-in desk because it's being renovated and the 4th picture is where the temporary counter service location is going to be on the 4th floor.
 
Thank you for your posts. I love reading them because you are always so up-to-date on the CR!
 

Thanks for the report and the pictures. We're staying in the tower next month -- can't wait!
 
Great review and photos! I am envious!!!
So glad that you had a great time!
I am justunder 29 days till I 'go home' once again!
 
Welcome back :) Do you remember what the food offerings were on the weekend nights? TIA :)

Saturday night was mini Spring Rolls, however I forget the 2nd hot item. Besides that every night they always had Cheese, mimi Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches and various veggie items. On Sunday night the two hot items were hot Shrimp and Brie and Craberry Puff Pastries, along with the other items I just mentioned.
 
Welcome home and thanks for the pictures. Is the new store at the end of the concourse against the back wall or more in the middle?

Did you hear any time lines for the completion of the store or for the front desk renovation?

The new store is going to be in the middle of the 4th floor, so it's going to be in between the Bay View Gifts store and the Sundries store. When I asked how long it would take to build a Cast Member told me with no major problems it should take 12 weeks, so that means sometime in December it should open.

As for the front desk renovations the renovation schedule says it's to be completed this November, however since the date for the closing of the Food & Fun Center was moved until September 9th, I am not sure if we should go by what it says unless someone has any new information.
 
Thanks for sharing your photos. Can't wait to see the place for myself in December
 
I forgot to mention that one of our favorite Cast Members who once worked on the Atrium Club but left because of another job opportunity, had come back to work for WDW on the Atrium Club. So when we came back one evening we were very surprised, however it was a nice thing to see him back.
 
Thanks for the pics and update!! We leave in 2 weeks. I can not believe that it is almost here already.
We are staying in a Tower MK view room. First time at the CR!!
 
Thank you CR Resort Fan 4 Life!!! We are going in December and I have been following you live reports. I look forward to hearing more and seeing more pictures.
 
Cheerbop, I know you will love the MK view. We had a wonderful time in March and just fell in love with the view.
