Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[trishadono]

21 days to go till BLT!! Yay!!

I would like to know do they have fresh fruit in the shop at the Contemporary?

I was going to do a garden grocer order but decided to just buy what I need before I go since I am driving. I don’t want to bring things that could go bad out of a cooler.

Was just wondering if they had fruit.

Yes the dvc resorts have a decent food selection. The Fantasia Market should have apples and bananas. ( 4th floor concourse of CR) Also in the coolers they will have season fruit and usually grapes.

Just booked our first stay at BLT. So excited since CR was on my bucket list since I was a kid. Now that we have DVC, I guess BLT will have to do.

CR was our first onsite hotel stay at WDW so it's a sentimental favorite. We did return another time and got a tower MK facing room once instead of the Garden Wing. That was special. I recommend you do that still... even if it's a 2 night start to a DVC villa stay.

We are going to BLT for our first time in April. Finally had the ability to plan at the 7 month mark and choose it.

We are also going in April. Got the theme park view. I know the lake view is probably prettier views, but my kids wanted to see the fireworks from the room and see the monorail. We are splitting with poly lake view too. I'm so excited for this trip.

We finally got a TPV blt villa in January. Loved it!

Yes. Also, you can request a crib, which I recommend, since it's on wheels so easier to roll in & out of the kitchenette. We had a pack & play right next to the front door, there's a little alcove that fits it perfectly, for my son & then the crib in the kitchenette for my daughter. It worked out great since it gave us privacy & freedom to have the tv on, etc.

Super helpful, thank you so much!

Beautiful. I can't wait.

Booked our first BLT stay for April, I am very excited. I have always wanted to stay at the CR or BLT but DH wasn't as interested, as luck would have it we could only get the first few night of our April trip at CCV, so we booked the remaining couple nights at BLT (lake view), win win!!!

Does anyone know if there are usb outlets anywhere in the rooms at the Contemporary? And if so, how many? I’m just trying to figure out how many cords and plugs I need to bring to charge all of our devices. Thanks!

I had a room in the main tower in April and my room pics show 4 usb outlets and 2 electrical outlets on the bedside table. There might be one more usb by the desk. There are 4 electrical outlets by the desk.

There are four on the nightstand between the two beds (see below). I am pretty sure these are the only ones, I think. CR hasn’t been updated to have USB outlets all over the place, like some of the other resorts.

Please add us for BLT 10/11-15/17 for MNSSHP!! Thanks

I'll add you now, @dmetcalfrn - better late than never

Hi everyone. We are renting points and staying at BLT from October 14-21 in a studio Lake View. It's our first time at a Monorail resort and will most likely be our last trip for a long while. I'm the only Disney fanatic in the household and I basically have to pay for the trip myself and have a 50th birthday to get everyone else to go with me. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Should I fax and request a certain room? Anything anyone can think of? Thanks!

You're going to love BLT and I'll log your dates, @lizerbug.

Thank you for posting your view, @ctipp79

Hi. I have a question I hope someone here can answer. We are staying at CR tower TPV rooms Dec 4-8 this year. I need one room with 2 queen beds and one with 1 king bed. I have been on touringplans to select rooms and they have all the rooms listed as 2 queens. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell which room numbers have king beds?

I'll add your dates to the Log-o-Rail, @lambdabeta. Other than an odd-numbered TPV room in the Tower having the bed facing toward the MK while lying in it, the room number isn't associated with the type of bed.

Looking forward to our first time staying at the CR in January. Thank you WDWKOOK for posting so much info and so many photos!!!

Happy planning, @Alisa13 and thank you for your kind comment

Thank you, @GADisneyDad14. Great shot of the USBs, which I will add to the ROOM chapter.

I'm driving myself crazy because I still can't decide what to do. Booking this trip so far in advance is going to have me second guessing it for months.

Right now we are booked for a split stay between CR-TPV (4 nights) and AoA Nemo suite (4 nights).
Me, DH, DS10, DS(almost)2, DS(almost)2
We having DDP booked right now, which we will probably drop unless it goes free, because I don't feel like it's a good value since my DS10 is considered an adult.

But I'm leaning more and more toward staying at CR for the whole trip, but still can't decide between theme park view vs. lake view vs. garden wing. If we do stay at CR the whole stay, we can save $578 by doing lake view, or $962 doing GW-deluxe. (No availability for standard GW rooms right now).

If you stay in the tower on the bay lake side, I thought I read somewhere that you can go to a balcony at the end of your hallway and watch the fireworks. Is that true? Or is that just on a certain floor?

I kind of want to do the tower because it's the tower, and the views will be great, closer to the monorail and everything else. But the GW seems to have its perks too, especially if we can get a ground level floor. Does anyone know if there are definitely deluxe rooms on the first level?

You can definitely go to a balcony on the end of each floor. Also there is a deck at the end of the fourth floor past the shops you can watch them from. It’s a big observation deck. Here’s the view I had from there one night. The view is better further down but I was feeling lazy lol

Any good suggestions for a 1 bedroom villa (STANDARD VIEW) request? Would love to see some pictures. Also, is the cross-walk on level 5? Thanks!

No idea on room request but yes the skybridge is on the 5th Floor Bay Lake connecting to 4th Floor of contemporary, right behind the gift shops. There are signs and such but if you're like me and really tired on arrival day you might just miss them all and go walking around looking in the wrong spot

I'll be checking in at the Contemporary one week from today!

Well it has been a long time since we booked this vacation get a way and still have 9 days to go.
Checking in Next Sunday for a well needed vacation.

Busy year for us.
Daughter graduated college and full time employee and off our payroll.
Had a fabulous summer cruise before those nasty hurricanes hit.



Booked an Alaskan cruise for next summer

And between working full time and helping family members.................................need to get away.

Hoping for a good room in the tower room (the building the monorail goes thru).

We have always stayed at the GF or Wilderness lodge, but wanted something different.

Got all our dinner reservations and FP

Cannot wait!!!

But I guess we have too.

Byeeeeeeeeeee
