Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Superchikk]

Can anyone tell me what a good room request for the Garden Wing one bedroom suite access would be?
Or perhaps they are all good locations. We would like to have easy access to the pool.
Perhaps it is in the 300 pages of posts but I don't have time to read through it.
TIA

I haven't stayed in the Garden Wing, but those buildings are right next to the pool. I would think anything in the Garden Wing would be easy access to pool.

Is there a thread on the boards where you can see the view from the rooms?

i was curious about the difference in the view from the east to the west side of the tower facing MK.

I have tried to find it already as i would be sure it already exists but i just cant seem to find it.

Thank you!

I think Touring Plans has a feature that allows you to see views (as submitted by subscribers) from each room.

Touring plans has a tool to see the views from rooms. Most are good, occasionally they have a view that is wrong - just use common sense and if the view doesn't make any sense check another room. I'm going to attempt to post a link, but if it doesn't work it's touringplans.com and search for resort room views or something similar. You can check views from any resort.

Do you mean north and south side rooms facing the MK? All of the TPV rooms are on the west side of the building... so the differences would be the northwest or southwest side. I’ve stayed on both ends and since CR isn’t that big, all views are generally the same with only slight variations.

Southwest corner. You’re more directly over the convention center building here.


More towards the northwest corner. You’re more directly over the parking lot here.


Sorry if I’m misinterpreting your request!

Perfect! That’s exactly what I wanted. Sorry if I confused the situation with the East and West directions! Thanks so much!

It does indeed!
One of the MANY great percs of Touring Plans!

DH and I are headed to BLT this Sunday...any fellow BLT/contemporary lovers going to be there at the same time ?

 

[Gryhndmom]

Here at BLT in a theme park room right over awning for the entrance. As BLT owners, we are really disappointed that we are not on a higher floor and will go back to our usual north tower, even number, lake view room request for next year.

On a plus note... the room was ready around noon time so nice to get settled in the room and unpack midday!

I'm looking at possibly staying at the Contemporary on the last leg of my trip from Nov 7th - Nov 11th in a Main Tower - Lake View room. I have been watching some Youtube video's and reading through this thread and have seen some mention of bugs at the Contemporary around the Garden Wing and pool area's. Is this something that any of you have encountered and is it something that you think would be an issue in November?

If they were lovebugs, they are very seasonal and gone by now. The lovebug season lasts about a week in the spring and the fall.

I didn't hear of a specific type of bug. It sounded like gnats around the pool area, but I've only heard that in one place so it may have just been an experience someone else had at one point in time. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something widespread that others have experienced a lot. Thanks for the feedback.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Yeah, Love Bugs. Had them at GF back in late Sept. Saw many at CR (especially around the pool) in past Sept trips.

They don’t bite or sting, just kind of annoying to have around. They like to land on white towels.

All in all pretty harmless overall.

We stayed in a garden wing room (room 6216) with a water view in August. It was very hot, so we did not need to open our Juliet balcony door. We did once for a few minutes when we first got there and had to chase mosquitoes around for a few minutes. But we were very close to the water and being so close, we did not dare open it again lol. I feel like in the main tower it would be different. I didn't see any at the pool.

We were in a lake view room in the main tower in September. 10th floor. We didn't notice any bugs out on our balcony.

I'm thinking this thread may be the best place to ask this question. I'll be heading down to WDW from Philly next week and was hoping to catch some of the Eagles / Jax Jaguars game from London on the TV. Since it's from London the kick-off is 9:30 AM (10/28) and I figured since JAX is playing it should be covered on local TV.

I've got Cali Grill brunch reservations that morning so I'll be over at the Contemp. At that time in the morning 9AM or so is there a chance they may have any TVs available in any of the lounge areas to catch some of the game? I'm thinking maybe the Outer Rim area or the Wave lounge?

I think the Outer Rim does have a tv. So does the Lobby downstairs.

Thanks. Lobby TV would even be fine for me. Obviously my main priority that morning is enjoying the Cali Brunch, but I figure if there are some TVs available in the morning might as well catch what I can before my ressie
