Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[closetmickey]

I don't remember seeing any fresh fruit there but it has been awhile....

If I recall from my trip last month the Fantasia market sells the 3 packs of mandarin oranges in the cooler and I think they also have bananas on one of the shelves. The Contempo has a banana and a fruit cup on their menu. There is also a snack stand in the Magic Kingdom in Liberty Square that has fresh whole fruit that you can buy, bring back to your room, and put in your fridge.

Sorry, not sure if I missed it. Seems like the Garden Wing rooms have not been updated yet? If so, any idea when? We are coming in August. Not a deal breaker if not done yet, but would be nice (esp the washroom space)

Just got the call this weekend... our Garden wing room will be under construction during our Feb trip. They upgraded us to GF. We already were doing a split stay at GF with a lagoon view room. I asked if they would keep us in the same room and she said they cant promise same room, but will keep us at the lagoon view level for the whole trip! So while i'm disappointed to miss out on our first CR stay Garden wing ---> GF Lagoon view is certainly not a bad upgrade. Plus a 200.00 gift card!
If they arent ready, you will at least get a monetary upgrade.

Thanks for the update. Happy to hear they are starting construction. Great too that you will be upgraded and given gift card. Have a great trip!

Hi, At BLT now and wonderful room. 2 bed theme park view. Went to Early Entry today at Magic Kingdom and was turned away because they said we needed a voucher from BLT? They scanned my magic band but said nothing came up, so I showed them my MDE on my phone to show we are staying at BLT, but said I needed a voucher. Has anyone heard of that? Maybe I missed that...Either way having a great time.

Never stayed dvc, but this fall we used early entry while stay at CR and they just scanned our magic bands.

Does anyone know how early the monorail starts running before EPCOT opening? And where can we find out the schedule for the evening extra Magic hours?

Sounds odd. Just curious, are you renting points?

Our MB's didn't register our resort during a recent visit to HS. We had to show our MDE which did the trick. Never heard of a voucher.

Anyone know what the current pool hours are? Thank you!!!

Unless there has been a seasonal change in the last two weeks that hasn't been reported yet, I believe all feature pools across WDW property are currently 10am-10pm.

This was a couple of months ago, but the “bullseye”/adults pool opened a bit earlier. I think it was 7 am. However, there are no lifeguards at the pool area until 10 am

Yes I rented points. Went to the lobby and they checked everything and didn't understand why there was an issue. They gave me a key card in case it happened again. They had never heard of a voucher and wondered if maybe it was a new cast member. Didn't have any issues with early entry after that day.

I was looking to book for late August and there is a notice that the Contemporary will be under refurbishment. Will this be for the garden wing? If so, I guess they do one building at a time because the garden wing was available to book for that time period. The chat had no idea what was being done.

An empty Garden Wing parking lot, as renovation work has recently shifted to those rooms…

I'm wondering as well. In Aug. (prior to early entry,) buses were making it to Epcor well before the first monorail pulled in, which is what I'm afraid of for our upcoming trip.

Just realized today is T-100 days until my next trip to CR

Curious though, how extensive has remodeling been to the 2nd and 3rd floors of the tower? Didn't have much of a chance to walk around last year when I briefly visited. I'm hoping there's not too much "color pop" on the walls, particularly on the 3rd floor which at this point might almost be a walking time capsule. Are the ballrooms still unlocked like they have been in years past?

We're at T-106 for the Contemporary!
