Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[GADisneyDad14]

Only exception is shampoo and conditioner. Hoping it's not an issue getting a refill daily if it's not enough for four (2 females with longer hair). Figured there is mark up if we end up buying something there.

FYI, CR has the dispensers on the wall. They “should” be full and refilled by Mousekeeping as needed, but if for some reason you run low just call Housekeeping from your room phone and request a refill.

Enjoy your trip!

And unless the bottles are RADICALLY smaller than anywhere else on property, I would be SHOCKED if 4 people go through them every day. They're like normal sized bottles - not the travel size ones.

Do you go through a standard size bottle (not talking travel size, but a regular sized bottle) every day at home????

Great thanks. Good to know we can just call mousekeeping if we need more.

Thanks. I'm used to regular hotel rooms where they don't give you much shampoo/conditioner (but usually in a typical bottle). Sounds like we'll be fine.

Yeah, the mounted dispensers are definitely more regular size. But you can always call housekeeping or pop by the front desk to let them know they need to be refilled if that becomes an issue.

I know tubs are scarce at CR, but does anyone know if the high floors have any tubs? We have a TPV and requested a high floor, but have a little one who is more used to baths than showers.

We just had one on the 9th floor in a TPV. It was an odd numbered room.

We were just on the 11th floor and had a tub.

The tubs are scarce in the garden wing, I didn’t understand why until I did both this year. The GW bathrooms are smaller/not enough room for a tub.

If a lake or TPV in the main building you should just call to request for a tub . They have a fair number with them based on posts.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Yeah, impossible to know for sure without more reports over time, but my read (and my own experience) is the tower has more tubs than not.

Sorry, one last question about the provided shampoo and conditioner...
Do they provide both? And are they separate? Or a combined shampoo/conditioner?
(Wondering if I should bring some conditioner in a portable container - doing carry on only so hoping to avoid)

They are both provided in separate dispensers.

They are both provided in separate dispensers.

As well as body wash. There is also body lotion and mouth wash

Perfect. Thank you for confirming.

That's great too!

Anyone done Early Entry at Magic Kingdom? If so, what time should we leave to walk over? Magic Kingdom opens at 9am on our day so early entry is at 8:30am.
Thanks. I have no concept of how long it takes to walk over, go through gates, etc

 

[wdhinn89]

It only takes 10-15 minutes to walk to MK and the walkway has security check so you miss the big line. You do have to scan into the park though. I have no clue how long it takes. We never do early entry or rope drop.

You could leave around 8:10 and have time to get through security and tape-styles. Dd likes to grab the Starbucks in MK so we often head over at 8a. She grabs coffee, I get in line for SM. She meets me when she’s got it which is usually close to 8:30. That SB Line is long!

If going for SDMT then add a few minutes to get in line earlier.

Thanks. Love that we can walk there.

Thank you! Good idea to have someone go and grab something while others go in line. We're also looking at going to Space Mountain.

On a different note, they let you in prior to 8:30am?

They let you in . You can go to the hub in front of the castle. People line up for SM , buzz etc on 1sr bridge to the right. Cm’s have a rope and hold you until open.

If you are a Disney resort guest they have a pre-line where they tap your mb for verification. That’s usually just off the hub on a walkway.

Same for SDMT just next bridge back. Then at 8:30 cm’s walk us to rides. So if you can get your food quick you have time to meet up before the chaos hits lol.

 

[Dug720]

Good idea to have someone go and grab something while others go in line.

As long as it's ONE doing the grabbing and THE REST in line. Technically I don't think even one is supposed to do it, but people do and it's much better if it's just one doing the shove through the line than one person holding a spot and 3-4 doing the line shove.

It’s still a mass crowd and not really a line while waiting for the cm’s to remove rope. Not in a ride line yet.

However I agree most should wait and fewer grab food.
