Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[IceSkatingPrincess]

Gorgeous! How was your stay? Thank you for posting some photos. Did you take any of the Tower Club lounge? I'm going to post your photos later to the CL chapter.

Our stay was wonderful!! I wish we could have stayed longer (did an AKLCL/CR CL split) . We will definitely be back to the CR and hopefully the Tower Club. We had one snooty CM at check in but that tends to happen to DH and I (22 & 25) at nice places so I just brushed it off. Everyone else was kind and fabulous. I have more pictures. I'll post them, I have a few of the food offerings too.

& yes, we are like a 2.5/3 hour drive so we come down a lot. Usually we go the cheaper route but this was our big trip! (poly being an exception as we got a deal haha!)

I took these pictures of room 4912 (king room) in the Tower Club this week.

Those are very beautiful pictures! I hope You had a wonderful time! Thanks so much!

The photos that are in the ROOM chapter of the thread are what the rooms currently look like (though some rooms don't have the pillows). The only rooms with a different decor are the 14th floor Tower Club level rooms/suites. I took these in April:

Thanks WDWKOOK. I saw those but also pulled up pics that showed more earthy tones with a brown/beige square over the headboards so I wasn't sure which was current. The Club Tower room pics posted above seem to be different with lighter wood tones and linens? They sure are beautiful!

Awesome pics!! That is exactly the room that we are looking to get in 2017. Was there anything specific you did to get that? My understanding was that you would have to book the Club Level Theme Park View and request the King bed. It is just my wife and I so we don't need two Queens.

Looking forward to more of your pics!

You need to call to book it and ask specifically for the king room in the tower club. There are only 2 of them and they cannot be booked online. Only 4912 has the awesome walk in shower and the tub shower combo. I wish I could have taken that bathroom home with me!

Some food pictures from the Tower Club:

These crab cakes were great

Lobster puff pastry thing was also great

Pictures of Tower Club itself:

& the view from my room, 4912!

That's all I have (well besides a hundred more wishes/view pics), hope those help!

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

Okay. A few more view pictures from the balcony because I couldn't resist. I'm done now for real though Gosh I miss that view already.

We loved listening to the music each night from the EWP!

Hello! Another WL transfer checking in here. Staying in the Garden wing 12/27 - 1/3. Contemplating my room placement request. Is Bay View or Canal View better?

Thanks for all the pics. They are gorgeous. I wish the regular rooms had that lighter wood/linens look. It really brightens up everything!

More from 4912:

The walk in shower is very big and awesome:

Castle looks much bigger in person, claiming phone distortion here

These pics are great and I'm envious many times over! Our stay in June seems like years ago. Need to make a 2016 trip happen!
At least I have a weekend at aulani coming up soon.

Glad you had a great trip! The pics are beautiful, thanks for sharing .

Kindly ignore or enjoy, some very random CR photos I need to post. The new forum software only allows up to 10 attachments per post, which is causing a problem for me when I try to add more than 10 to my thread chapters that I'm revising with April photos. Since I'm not reposting the thread, I'm limited to 18 posts with 10 attachments each to work with. I think/hope I figured out a work around though. If the photos are already posted on the DIS and I just paste them in, then they aren't considered attachments. At least I hope this works…

 

[WDWKOOK]

The work around worked and, added extra work, but at least I was able to add more photos to each chapter. I'll probably have to do this again soon so thank you for your patience with my random photo posting.

I've never really gotten the whole Vinylmation thing, but the CR one is cool.

Gahhhh, the snooty CM would really annoy me. Your money is just as good as the 40 year olds'. The first time we went to Narcoossee's (8 or 9 years ago) we had a snooty waiter and stayed away for a long time because of that. Thankfully we started going back a few years ago and haven't have that problem again. Glad you didn't let it bother you. Thanks for all the pics!!

I was miffed for like an hour, but it is what it is. We were dressed in park stuff when we checked in which I'm sure didn't help (though it shouldn't matter). It happens a lot to us. You'd think being young and enjoying nice things was a crime! haha. Besides that one interaction though everyone was great.

We love love love Narcoosees! Amazingly we have never had that problem at any of the Disney Sigs, just at the Ruth's Chris here at home. Glad you liked all the pictures

My 1 night stay has been extended to 3, thanks to my DH's kindness! He has to leave after 1st night, and I was going to move to Pop for 2 nights with our 3 kids, but he decided convenience is the way to go! I am so happy my first stay will be a bit longer! 7/24-7/27. We are in FL already.

That happens to me and DBF (20) a lot but never at Disney! I guess young couples don't deserve nice things We are VWL transfers and staying 1/23-1/26. I've never stayed at the Contemporary or BLT but we have stayed at other deluxes. Im hoping we have a good stay!

IceSkatingPrincess, thanks for the info!!! Do you think that it makes a difference to call Disney direct versus working through a travel agent? (I am still on the fence about using a travel agent. I know exactly when we want to go, what Resort we want, and now, thanks to you, what specific room we want. I am willing to book at the 499 day mark and will be making my own air travel arrangements -- and I feel perfectly comfortable making my own FP+ and ADR ressies)

And one other question: did they have chocolate croissants at breakfast by any chance? (that would make my DW very happy!)
