Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Once.Upon.A.Time]

Thank you all for your replies. Always get great advice here. I never really considered CR, but I am starting too now. Something about staying in the MK area is drawing me in!

We are four adults staying there in a couple weeks on the days we're planning for MK. After staying offsite in April and having to deal with the long walk from the parking lot to the TTC and then ferry/monorail ride to the park, we're really looking forward to simply walking over to the park!

I’ll chime in too, I love CR for an adults trip (DW and I just stayed there over Princess Half weekend so the feeling is top of mind). My opinion, but I think the bathrooms in the new CR rooms are arguably the nicest on property and add a bit of luxury to a Disney stay. Plus with two great restaurants in the building and the myriad of options a monorail ride away, it totally works for us. The pools are also rarely all that crowded and the bulls eye pool can be downright empty at times if looking for a calm oasis.

Granted I’m a bit of a CR homer, but we think it’s a great overall spot for a typical Disney stay.

I will pile on as well - We (wife and I) really like the CR, especially when it's 95-100 degrees outside, it's nice to able to stay inside going from the room to eat at the restaurants or to hop on the monorail to visit the Polynesian or the Grand Floridian. Even eating at Contempo Cafe can be a pleasant experience as it doesn't feel so closed in as some of the other quick services can be. In the late afternoon the pool can be in the shade of the building and we like that. Get a reservation for California grill during fireworks and you can enjoy that too.

Is this only available to the DVC owner?I see it said "and guests" but I am assuming the owner has to be with you? We bought points from a friend and going in June but they arent going to be with us. Thanks!

DVC owners staying at WDW have access. They can bring guests but you will not be allowed up unless accompanied by a DVC member that is staying on property.

Ok! Thank you! That’s what I thought but wanted to check!

I’m going in June too. I’m hoping it’s open by then. We bought DVC in 2020 so we haven’t gotten up there yet.

It’s where the action is! So easy to hop to all the bars and restaurants on the mono loop or WL.

I love the pool ! IMO the lack of crowds, lake view from pool, hearing and watching all the boats? Priceless!

Honestly nobody but Disney is sure what this "re-imagined" TOTWL will look like yet. All previous rules should be considered out-the-window until they tell us more on what they changed.

I usually put "Guest - My Name" and if I have a room number, I add that.

I would specify Contemporary Hotel or Bay Lake Tower depending on which one you’re at.

 

[FSU Girl]

Anyone there now? How are the balconies on the main tower since they’re having work done? I just switched my room to a theme park view and worried now we won’t be able to use the balcony.

Anybody know if the coffee machines in the rooms are K cup or just the standard drip coffee?

I'm not sure about the hotel rooms in the Contemporary, but the villas at BLT have drip coffee machines and come with joffrey's coffee pouches.

Hotel rooms have Keurig machines.
