Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[BellsFam]

They will probably start at 8. The movie schedule isn't updated online until April, but I will be there end of March - April so when I get the schedule for April in my room, I will post it here.

THANKS!!! I was thinking 7 so 8 is much better!!!

 

[WDWKOOK]

THANKS!!! I was thinking 7 so 8 is much better!!!

You're welcome. They are shown later in spring/summer than fall/winter when it gets darker earlier. In fact, it may be 8:30 because the last time we were there for spring break a few years ago it was 8:30.

For everyone that asked club level was awesome and such a magical upgrade!! The view of wishes was amazing from the lounge!! To be honest though I don't think I would ever pay for club level as we were in the parks a lot of the time!
Quick question. The guy who checked us in was amazing and I think he was training. How do I contact the manager to let them know how great he was??

Glad you had a great trip! I have read so many great things about CR CL that I am looking forward to trying it on a future trip. I can't help on contacting a manager, but I'm sure KOOK or others will be able to give information on how to do that .

Long time, no see, Kook and Mousemommy1 !
Just wanted to pop in and say that we've booked a 1 bedrm SUITE on my Favorite concierge floor at WDW, May30-june7!
Taking middle niece for her HS graduation and also celebrating my DS' birthday!

Noticed that ya'll do not have any updated 1bedrm suite pictures and I would be more than happy, Kook, to provide you with some. Unless I have missed them somewhere.

Looks like you both are heading there soon, wish I could join, but I just had a hip replacement 3 weeks ago! Darnit!
Looking forward to hanging out here.

Hello!!!

Wow, a hip replacement is a big deal! Hope your recovery is going well! At least you have an amazing suite to look forward too! How exciting!

I hope you get to book your next WDW stay soon - keep us posted!

Thanks, KOOK. We are tentatively booked at the Poly in December, but CR is still on our list to try .

Just wanted to hop in and "introduce" myself. We are taking DD for her first Disney trip 12/8-12/18, and have just changed our booking from POR RR to CR garden wing, with a King bed request. Wanted to get added to the roll call

DH and I went, pre DD, and stayed at the WL. DH wanted to stay there again, but it's just a little more to be on the monorail - I couldn't say no.

Am enjoying catching up on this thread and really looking forward to staying at the CR.

Hi!! Thanks to an awesome Magical deal, I am going to be staying at CR for the first time this August. Originally booked the Poly, but got freaked out by all of the construction and made the switch last week.

Can you add me to the list? 8/24-8/29.

 

[AliceIn]

I'm ahead on packing (mostly due to my excitement), and I'm getting very excited about our CR stay next week! I'm also looking forward to updating the thread with current photos.

Your trip is coming up so quickly! I am very much looking forward to seeing your pictures. We are at 70 days today, and the excitement is growing! We are so excited to be experiencing CR as a family. I've stayed there in the past, but it was a long time ago. I loved it, but it was a work trip and I didn't get to do a lot of the fun things in and around the resort.

CR is our favorite deluxe. I know some people think it's plain in comparison to the others but the biggest attraction for us is the monorail running thru it. That's just so unique.

Welcome to the CR thread .

Congrats on the change, I'm sure you'll have a great trip and will enjoy the CR .

I agree about the monorail as that is very unique. We always visit the CR during our trips and while the decor has never appealed to us, it is one we want to try. We love staying on the monorail and it would be nice to compare the CR to the Poly and GF .

Hi everyone We're another family who have jumped ship from the magical Poly deal to GW at CR and I. Can't. WAIT!! It is our 7th trip to WDW but our first stay onsite. Have always wanted to stay at CR and although I would LOVE a Tower room I'm sure we'll love the GW just as much. It will be DH, myself and our two DS aged 3 and 1. If you could add us to the list I'd really appreciate it, we'll be there 9/4 - 9/7

Hey friends! I just booked on orbitz for GF but was surprised to find BLT studio,1br and 2br available with the 15% off promo code. My dates are 8/16-20. In case you didn't know you can book on orbitz with the promo code on top of Disney's summer sale. I got GF SL for $100/ night less than Atrium club so .... dd and I are skipping CR this summer.

Good luck getting some good deals while the rooms are still available.

Just put down the deposit for Our First Stay at CR 10/18-10/24! Can't wait!!!!

Welcome to the thread and welcome back to CR! I don't know if it's available, but if you want a guaranteed King you could book a Deluxe GW room. Those have a king and sleeper sofa. Otherwise, I hope your request comes through and I'll log your dates.

So many have taken advantage of that "magical deal." I don't blame you for being worried about the quiet pool rehab during August. The main pool is slated to open any day now and the quiet pool will then be closed. I'll get some Poly photos next week and post them to the Poly thread with a link here since so many of you have changed from Poly.

You're going to have a whole new experience as a family

CR is our favorite deluxe. I know some people think it's plain in comparison to the others but the biggest attraction for us is the monorail running thru it. That's just so unique.

It's iconic and screams Disney to me so I've never understood those who think CR isn't Disney-themed: The monorail runs through it, you can walk to the MK, it has Chef Mickey's and a Mickey Ear-shaped pool for gwarsh sakes.

I think once you stay onsite, you'll be hooked. I'll log your dates and ALOHA!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing your find. (BTW, I got the Bikini So Teeny pedicure so I'm set for CR!)

The GF rooms end up 45% off on Orbitz which is even better than the 40% military rate we book. That's because GF is 30% off now through Disney, but CR is only 25% off, plus the Orbitz 15% off code. But, for BLT, the savings for us is better with the military rate. If you can't use that though, then you're right, the Orbitz deal adds an extra 15% off the current Disney promo for some resorts. What GF cat. did you book?

WOOHOO! I'll add your dates to the Log-orail

Thank you! I've read about the deluxe rooms, and they do sound really great, but I think if we get a "regular" queens room, we'll still be okay.

 

[trishadono]

Hey Kook! We are staying in Sugar Loaf this time. DD loves those scones!

We had a great time at CR Cl last August but the rate difference was too much to ignore.

As I always say, I love all the monorail resorts! Stay in one and visit the others and you feel like the whole loop is your own

We love to get off the monorail and explore the concourse! Stand by at CG is an nice option, and a quick strawberry daiquiri by the beach are some of our favorite CR things to do! Oh, and the cupcakes in CC.

 

[GreyStr0ke]

Hi Kook! After a lovely stay at Wilderness last month my friends and I will be staying at BLT on 4/16/15 - 4/19/15. We just have a standard 2 br room view booked but are hoping for at least a view of the monorail.
