Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Ninjagrrl]

I'm sorry, as I'm sure this question has been asked and answered, but can anyone tell me if the coffee machines in the rooms are keurigs? I thought they were Cuisinart when we were there a few years ago...

Yes they are keurigs now. Only at certain resorts though. CR, CSR, and AKL since the refurb are the ones I know for sure.

The YC has keurigs as well.

Great - thank so much!!

 

[Sara W]

Anyone there now have the activity schedule or movie schedule for September? TIA!

 

[scjm222]

Are the ice machines available?

Given the choice, would you do Garden wing - King or BLT Studio - Standard view?

How many people? I’m assuming for two people, I’d do BLT. The bed is a little smaller but the extra seating space and kitchenette is nice. You would also have access to BLT pool and hot tub.

Yes, sorry, two people and three nights, and we've never stayed at the Contemporary or BLT. Will be switching to Riviera for the second half of the trip.

Booked next month for the first time in CR Tower, Lake view. Is there a floor or specific room I should try to request? It's a resort only stay so all our time will be exploring the resort and amenities with a little resort hopping along the monorail line. Thanks for any input.

OK let's start with the basics of the the atrium tower. Bay lake rooms start on Floor 5 and end on Floor 11 for standard tower rooms. Floor 12 & 14(really 13) are the Club level floors.

There are 24 rooms per floor on the Bay lake side of the tower. Rooms are numbered 1 through 24 starting on the south side above Chief Mickey's. The first 2 digits of the room number determine the floor number. So the first 5th floor room is 4101.

Rooms xx10-xx16 are closest to the elevators (xx13 is the middle of the tower), and 4124 is at the north end of the hallway.

Now with some background information, I will offer my suggestions. Floors 8-10 are a good balance of height but not being too close to the enclosed tower roof just above the 11th floor for a good balance of noise levels within the tower atrium.

You would have to go to MK and catch a boat to WL for lunch at Geyser Point is something we like to do. We actually did dinner there but we had a car so we didn’t have to worry about the two transportation back to CR stopping.

This is great! I think we'll go with the 10th floor towards the north end. Thank you so much for the info.

Geyser Point is planned for our December trip to FtW. Thanks for the heads up.

Just moved our AKL reservation to Bay Lake for November. This will be our first time and we are super excited.

I’m guessing Cali Grill isn’t doing Sunday brunch anymore? Any other great food recommendations/room service options?

 

[Dave006]

Well as of this post room service aka Private Dining is not available anywhere but at the YC.

Do you see a movie schedule by any chance? Thx!

Please tell me all about the pools. My DD and I are planning a mostly pool trip and should arrive 10/5 if God is willing and we don't catch the 'rona. I've never stayed here and I'd like to know what is open around the pools (splash area, playground, bars). And if everyone else is uninterested you can PM me. Thank you so much! I hope you have a beautiful trip!

The BLT studio will be larger than the RIV tower studio. RIV tower studio only has one queen murphy bed. BLT has one real queen bed and a double sleeper sofa. I wouldn't care for either personally because we prefer the king bed in the one bedroom villas.

You can use either of the two CR pools, one themed and the other pretty much a plain square pool that can get up to 5 or 6 ft deep in the center. If you stay at BLT, you can also swim at the BLT pool. If you are only staying in the CR hotel rooms, you cannot use the BLT pool since it is limited to BLT guests (it's a small pool).
