Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Runnsally]

I have called & emailed.. there’s no additional info.

Sounds like you are arriving Wednesday. If no tracking info by Monday, would call and insist that comparable bands be delivered to your resort. I doubt the Magicband system is sophisticated enough to change course and reroute your initial order to your resort.

I assume you got an initial order confirmation email from shop@disneyparks that has the bands shipping to your home?

Ordered mine on the day they came out for a trip 8/30. Confirmed ship to home, but haven’t shipped yet.

Yes, very easy to call and get extra of anything you need. They came right to our room within 5-10 minutes. They did a full room clean every other day. They made our beds, took out trash, replaced towels, wiped down bathroom, etc. I missed having beds made every day, but I thought this was a good step up from our previous COVID-era trips. It was much closer to normal and I found housekeeping to be quick and responsive on the “off” days when they weren’t doing a full cleaning.

Thank you!

@DisneyJenK sorry, I don't know, we didn't order new bands this trip. We have 3 old bands each and with having no hotel discount this visit, I cheaped out.

I ordered bands for 9/9 trip. Received today and I think I ordered them 2 weeks ago,-ish.

They do have “bands” at the resort. You may or may not get colors or styles but at least something to use if needed.

Ordered through MDE in conjunction with your resort stay?

There goes the theory that they are prioritizing arrival order.

Yes I wasn’t going to order but decided I wanted a black one for mnsshp. It was only $10 so i didn’t mind.

Dd ordered the new bands for us. It would not show up in my account to order for our 2nd resort. That hasn’t shown up yet. I can keep you posted if interested.

My friend also could not get the new bands so I told her to have her daughter so it. We both are the family control person and our adult dd;s linked to us. Both of us moms kept getting errors but daughters could order.

Oh so your old-style band showed. Not a new MB+?

A lot of us arriving before you ordered the new ones and got confirmation of the order, but they are all still processing. That’s why I was confused.

Arriving in 5 days, and we are still waiting for our Magic Band+ order —purchased on 7/27 through MDE for the pre-arrival discount. It said any orders 10+ days before trip would be sent to house. Has anyone received their new bands?

Maybe they will magically be at the resort when we check-in?

I ordered one for my AP at 7:50 am on the 27th. Got an email yesterday that it shipped. I also ordered 2 for our September hotel stay @ 8:33 that morning. No news on those yet. (Checked my screenshots to know what time I ordered).

My DDIL couldn’t order the new MB+ on her account on 7/27. She was trying to order one for her AP band. They waited for MB+ release to order their AP bands. She was able to order them for their December resort stay thru my DS‘s MDE. She always makes arrangements for them thru her account. That day MDE wouldn’t take her credit card, even tho it’s normally stored & fine. So she couldn’t even make ADRs for a spontaneous trip that weekend. Guest services couldn’t help but said they would make a note in her account & she “should“ be able to get the $10 discount in person. IT eventually told her it is a “known issue” & should be fine the next day. The next day she was again able to make ADRs but still can’t order the AP band. I don’t think she’s had time to follow up on it yet. But it’s annoying for sure.

I ordered around 6am on the 27th for my resort stay and have yet to get a shipping notice. And it's still "in process".

Same - 4:54a 7/27 for me and still the dreaded “in process”…

I apologize if this has been asked a million times. I did a search and there are several threads about “rum” drinks; however, I’m wondering specifically if I would be able to purchase a small bottle of rum at one of the shops at the Contemporary. We have a fireworks cruise booked and we are (shockingly) permitted to bring our own alcoholic beverages on board. I’m hoping to get something to mix with the soda that is included.

Fantasia Market has a small collection of various basic spirits. I'm relatively sure they have Bacardi rum, although I don't have personal experience so don't take that as absolute fact. Hopefully someone who knows for sure will be along to chime in.

I am with dd now . she said our new bands (new style) for our CR 9/9 trip have not yet shipped.

 

[DisneyJenK]

Our MB+ order is still “in progress.” I just spoke to someone on the phone and was told that we would likely not receive them before we leave. They are able to issue a card for a room key, and that we can use the bands on a future trip….

If I don't receive my MB+ before my trip and they can't give me replacements, I will be expecting a refund.

Does anyone know what kind of fridges the Contemporary has? There is a long thread on Facebook that glass front coolers are replacing fridges in all the resorts

They are the "beverage cooler" style fridges, as seen below. FYI, the sticker says "Beverage cooler cools to 41 degrees and above. Please contact Front Desk for assistance." With some exceptions this is the style of fridge Disney has been going with in its more recent iteration of room renovations. Hope that helps!

Thank you! I may need them to bring an actual fridge for insulin.
