:confused3 First, let me say I struggled with this over and over prior to finalizing my reservation. I am so glad we chose CR. We really loved it. We arrived on Sunday evening from the Magical Express around 6:00. We had reserved garden wing/view. We got to the room. Bell services immediately brought our Garden Grocer order. I went in the restroom and noticed there were no toiletries but a half used bottle of lotion :scared1: and also noticed a cap under the sink as thought it had not been swept well. No big deal but I had not packed shampoo after reading about the H2O products. We then received dds basket I had ordered from Betsy. I reminded the very sweet CM Trisa that we needed some toiletries and the bathroom just needed a little cleaning. Well, 5 minutes went by and Trisa called to say we had been upgraded to the tower. :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: I want to stress that I did not complain, I was really not upset. Our view was fine, etc. We had bay view and it was wonderful. We were on the 11th floor. We NEVER were disturbed by the construction, in fact we loved watching it. We saw the water parade at night, etc. It was so beautiful and so peaceful. Second day there dd received a signed card from Cinderella and balloons for her birthday. We could walk right on the elevator and right off to go to monorail. The room was wonderful, spacious and the beds were very very comfortable. I have back problems and my back did great. Free computer access was great. I could see my photopass every day. Loved the way the bathroom was set up. I could close the door to toilet and the bathtub was separate with vanity. We loved it. We LOVE the Poly but we really loved this as much if not more. Mousekeeping was great. DDs bear was reading the newspaper with my sunglasses on and her HSM Minnie was sitting higher reading over his back one day. On her birthday she received several towel animals. I had set up a table with a princess tablecloth, confetti, her birthday presents, etc and she put one towel animal on there. I thought it was a very calm and relaxing resort. The only thing I question is the mugs I purchased and then we were told in the grab and go we no longer use those:confused3 :confused3 WHO CARES! We are at Disney is what I thought. I took lots of pics but dont know how to upload to here. We also ate at Concourse steakhouse and it was soooooo good. The dining plan saves so much money. There were days we spent no money at ALL!!!
 
I am so glad you had a great time... I too am wondering if I should book CR because I hear so many "eh-eh" things about it so I love reading positive stories...
Also, if you become a member of photobucket.com, you can upload your pics to that sight then easily put them on here... (use the img code found under the picture) ... I would love to see pics! :)
Again, I am so happy that you had a wonderful time!
 
yup, just go to photobucket.com, it's free, it's easy, and when you post click on the little mountain in the yellow box to insert your photo! good luck!
 
I have ressies at the CR in February. It is our favorite resort!!!!!! Book it!
 

How's the resort looking? Is the lobby and the new gift shop coming along?
 
You can tell they are remodeling but it really did not bother us. The gift shop they have open now is wonderful and has a lot of stuff in it. The smaller gift shop down from the arcade has the donuts you can get with your snack credit. I love the H2O products and hope I can find them somewhere. I bought bath gel but want the shampoo also. I think what I am the most shocked about when it concerns the CRis the way people RUN and PUSH to get on the monorail:lmao: :lmao: Geez people, there is a place for everyone. :lmao: :lmao:
 
So happy to hear you had a great time. We arrive at the CR Nov 29th for 10 days....can't wait!:woohoo: Would love to see some pictures too. Question for you...how is the center part on the 4th floor coming along? Do you think it will be done by the time we arrive? Thanks!
 
Thanks for sharing your trip report. Glad you had a great time! We love the CR, too, and are looking forward to sharing it with some friends who've never been there when we go in January. :)
 
Thanks for the review! With so much going on there now, it's nice to have updates.

I didn't even think about being able to use the in-room PC to check your photopass pictures. What a great idea! That way, if some pics turned out not so great, you can go do them again :thumbsup2
 
Thanks for the info - so glad you had a great trip. Its nice to read good things about CR. We just stayed at the Poly and to read that you liked CR just as much maybe more was great to read. The CR is definitely on my list of resorts to try next and the more positive feedback I can gather to show my DH the better. Thanks again and glad you had a good stay at WDW.
 
I am so tickled that you had such a great experience. We leave in 33 days and this is our first stay at the Contemporary. We have stayed at the Poly and GF several times, so I was curious. We have a MK View in the Tower paid for so I can't wait.

Hopefully you can post some pictures if you have time.

Thanks again.
 
Thanks for the review! Hoping for a magical trip, it's been a year in the works and our 1st trip to the world.
