Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

Thanks for the WELCOME!!!

Atrium Club level Dec 21-23. Then we are moving to POR for a few days. My kids are being surprised with this trip. We went twice last year so they think we aren't going back until 2019, lol

What a nice surprise, but it might be really hard going from CR Club Level to POR. But, I understand about the BIG price increase right before Christmas. I'll log your dates

In case you didn't see this previously. The even numbered lake view rooms are on the outside of the C. That would have living room shape and chairs at bar in kitchen like I posted. The odd numbered rooms are on the inside and face the pool. If you have a preference then let them know when checking in.

We love the outside but others prefer the inside.

Thanks. I knew the inside and outside rooms had different layouts (bar stools vs no bar stools; laundry closet vs laundry room, etc.), but I couldn't remember if even was inside or outside. Now I know! And I can remember it now, because I'm probably a little "odd" for liking the inside view!

Room service food as well as the food served in both Club Level lounges (Atrium and Tower Clubs) comes from the Wave kitchen. There isn't an option to order room service from California Grill on either CL, unless perhaps it's a super special request granted by a CL CM or something like that maybe.

Thank you WDWKOOK! So a TPV One Bedroom opened up today and we were able to secure it. Any other trip I would have stayed in LV but considering the anniversary (and a toddler in tow who won't make them parks past 8 or 9 most nights) TPV was important to us. We were still able to keep the 25% off, doubt I will do much better in terms of a discount for that room so I am happy. We were deciding between this room and a standard one bedroom at the GF (or a GF sugar loaf room) but we are glad we chose BLT! Can't wait!

So I have a room booked for a garden wing/garden view and at the time of booking im pretty sure i booked for the king bed, but when i check my reservation it says nothing about that nor is it an option for my room requests. Do i need to call and make sure? Anyone know about GW/GV rooms if they are all king size beds?

We are going to be staying in the Contemporary Atrium Club Level this coming May - it is our first trip and are extremely excited!

You can't book a king at CR. The only way to guarantee a King in the Garden Wing is to book a Deluxe Room or a suite. You can have your King request added to your reservation by calling and you can choose it from the Online Check-in pull-down menu which I posted above on Thursday. But, unfortunately, you can't guarantee one.

We are going to be staying in the Contemporary Atrium Club Level this coming May - it is our first trip and are extremely excited!

to the DIS and to the CR/BLT thread, @ArielRN10! Congratulations on booking a CL room and we're honored to have your first post here

Have been trying to plan a trip back to the world for about a year now and think it's finally going to happen!

Planning on May 8-11 and staying at the Contemporary Garden Wing - Standard View. This will be our first time staying on-site and I am super excited! I think my only Room request is upper floor, but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions?

If you want outdoor space, select ground floor for a patio. The second and third floors do not have balconies. Some of the rooms are also quite far from the tower, so requesting close to transportation would get you closer to the main building, if that's important.

Woo hoo! My sister and I will be returning to CR later this month. We were able to swing the last two nights of our Racecation to stay in the Garden Wing/Garden View. While I wish I was able to put us up in the tower (especially my favorite view--TPV), we will love to return to the resort we first stayed in (and have a few times since ). It brings back such good memories--is just a walk away from the MK--if only there were still Frozen Cokes to fill up our refillable mugs!!

Just popping in to say we had an amazing stay at Bay Lake Tower! I think we're going to stay there again next year!

We were in the one bedroom standard view suite. The suite was gorgeous - beautifully decorated and the theming was subtle but lovely. My kids LOVED the slide at the pool even though we had a bit of a chilly week. And being able to walk to the Magic Kingdom was so nice. No buses or monorail to wait for!

At first we thought we'd want to try a different resort each year, but it would be really tough to beat our experience at BLT!

So glad to hear! I can't wait for our stay in a 1bdr in June!

I'm so happy to read this. We are staying at BLT for two nights in October and I'm really looking forward to it.

We're staying at BLT for 2 nights before our 4 night stay at BWV. We likely won't arrive until 6pmish on our first night, we're spending the day at Kennedy Space Center before we check in. How likely are we to be able to walk up and eat dinner at The Wave? or any other MK resort restaurant? We'll have had breakfast in the car, lunch at KSC and we'll be needing a decent dinner. Or is Contempo Cafe a really good QS for dinner?

Where is Fresh Express? I'm going next week and can check.

Does anyone know if they allow kids to share the buffet at Wave? I would say probably not but worth a shot LOL!

I was told room 6123 have views of MK fireworks and is ground level. I've requested it and will let you know when I go next week.
