Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[EGW113]

Hi all! My family will be staying in a GV room 11/16-11/22. I am wondering what room requests I should make to get a nice view? Anyone have a particular view or location they prefer in the Garden Wing?

TIA!

What have you requested that got you good MK views with a lake view room? Can you be specific? Thanks

Ask for a room on the outer part of the "c" on the north end as high as possible. There's a thread somewhere (could b linked on the first post of this thread) that shows actual room numbers and views of Bay Lake. ...that's how I found it originally.

I would request, 1St floor lake front.

Those rooms have patios about 4 feet away from Bay Lake. Best "Garden View" rooms in all of Disney World!

One more experience I wanted to make a note of before I forgot... We were at the feature CR pool yesterday and I was getting a bottle of water at the Sand Bar. I was behind a nice couple who were asking if there were any food options available for the wife who had a peanut allergy. The gentleman working said they cannot deal with food allergies there and that she'd need to go to the Contempo Cafe and speak to a chef.

THANK YOU for posting that! I will make a mental note, it saves us a lot of time to know where my son is likely and unlikely to find food. (no wheat, soy, egg, dairy, peanut, some treenuts, sesame, buckwheat or shellfish, plus some aged foods bother him)

I just saw the most adorable thing!!! Outside Sammy Duvall waiting for a jet ski tour, and just watching the pool area. I noticed 3 lifeguards wearing Mickey hands, towel capes and sorcerer hats start spinning around, waving their arms and then touching the ground. When they came up, the water jets turned on. They did the same routine for the large center spout. And then for the slide, they went over and pulled an imaginary rope until the water turned on and came all the way down to the bottom.

Very fun to watch and it's great to see these hidden little traditions here.

Joining in We will be staying BLT LV 11/29-12/7. This is our first stay here. We are so excited. We are renting points and will be putting in a room request hoping for a little MK view. I can't wait to keep reading and learning more about this resort

Hi again Ariel! Here is the link to help you. To get a MK view with a lake view booked room you want a room on the north tower. Any room ending in 02-14 will do.

I have had a room ending in 42 - awesome view of Seven Seas lagoon, Bay Lake and Cr .

05 - was view of lake and pool(inside C)

04 was view of Space Mtn and Castle. We could watch wishes from balcony great but not from inside the room like the true MKV rooms can.

We loved the resort!

Oh man! We are headed down to the pool this morning, but are getting a little later start and missed it! How fun!!

I have to say how HIGHLY impressed we've been with the pool lifeguards and maintenance. The lifeguards are so vigilant about the constant scanning of the pool area. They are never standing still. We even saw one in a full suit in the pool the other day going around the entire edges cleaning and scrubbing all the tiles with a brush!

I was a little late but got some video of it on my phone. I'll post it when I get back home.

It was very very cute. Be there early though. I want to say just before 9am.

We must have been there the same day!! It started to rain around 4ish?
We saw her to, I even asked her what was up hoping no one had an accident there

We were in the cabana close to the snack bar/Sammy's.

Btw: did you use your BOG FastPass? (I remember we were both on the FP thread) We enjoyed the lunch very much and are headed back for dinner tonight.

Sitting at contempo cafe right now waiting for breakfast if anyone wants to come by and say hi

Blue tank top and yellow bathing suit bottoms. I'll buy you a resort mug refill!

We were right in front of that cabana in the pool that day and my husband was just down at Contempo getting us breakfast to bring up to the room! Small world!!

We did use our BOG FP. It was so wonderful. I was surprised to see the FP line was a little longer than I expected. We also got sent to one of the ordering kiosks where a CM has to put in your order and the person in front of us was trying to understand their dining plan and it was taking FOREVER! Other than that, it was great we'll be back at the MK tonight as well

Useless and needless post alert. I am wiggling in my seat with excitement!! 70 more days and my excitement grows with each passing day. I think by the time our travel days roll around we could power the plane with the energy that will be generated by the family excitement.

I hear about the lifeguards and the views, and the fireworks and....everything. I know we can't do or see it all, but we are going to try. Woohoo!!!!!!

That is all. kthxbai

RO discounts came out today. I talked with my boyfriend and we decided to add a day to the beginning of our stay with the RO discount so that we'll be able to celebrate my REAL birthday at the World, which is Dec 11! We booked a Garden Wing Deluxe Room!! So excited that we get to try the Garden Wing and the Tower for our first on-site stay!!!

We are currently staying in a theme park view room at the Contemporary but no-one in the hotel seems to know what TV channel has the music to accompany Wishes!

We were told channel 105 but our TV only goes up to channel 80! Someone else said the channel which tells us about the resort, which is channel 2 but this doesn't work!

Can anyone help as it is not as good without the music!

Thanks!
