Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Chisoxcollector]

I recently booked a 1 night, Xmas Eve stay using Southwest points! It will be our first time at a Disney owned resort. We usually stay at the Dolphin or the Hilton across from Disney Springs. It's just in the Garden Wing. I'm hoping we can get a ground floor room with a water view.

We've booked a theme park view for our trip in December. Today I requested a high floor and I mentioned last time we were in 8116. Should this be enough info for our room request?

We are actually up in the air now with where we are staying because we switched to a split stay... we really want GF but not without the discount so we were looking at the contemporary in the garden wing or Tower... we had a room at the poly and a standard view but lost it with the switch... I only read back a little bit re: the garden wing and need to keep reading! How loud is it in the tower? Hubby is blind and I'm wondering about the echo with his ears and trying to listen.

The tower rooms are not loud. It is loudish in the concourse. If you are facing the park and open your patio door, there is some noise from that. I like that level of noise because it's part of the excitement, and you can stop it by closing the door. If you are on the lower floors on the theme park side, you do get some vibration from the monorail. Not much - but it is there.

The Garden Wing has always been extremely quiet when we have stayed there.

I think The Poly's main building is much louder than any place at The Contemporary. No one seems to ever use their inside voice in there.

Does anyone know if a packnplay will fit in the kitchenette in the studio? TIA!

Yes. Also, you can request a crib, which I recommend, since it's on wheels so easier to roll in & out of the kitchenette. We had a pack & play right next to the front door, there's a little alcove that fits it perfectly, for my son & then the crib in the kitchenette for my daughter. It worked out great since it gave us privacy & freedom to have the tv on, etc.

We ended up on the 11th floor Theme Park View odd room number. If I can ever figure out how to post pictures I'll post the view. Love it!!

Hi everyone. We are renting points and staying at BLT from October 14-21 in a studio Lake View. It's our first time at a Monorail resort and will most likely be our last trip for a long while. I'm the only Disney fanatic in the household and I basically have to pay for the trip myself and have a 50th birthday to get everyone else to go with me. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Should I fax and request a certain room? Anything anyone can think of? Thanks!

Booked our split stay yesterday!! CR for last 3 nights of the trip. We loved our last stay there in the Tower and can't wait to see the Bay Lake view again! Kids loved CR as well!

Hi. I have a question I hope someone here can answer. We are staying at CR tower TPV rooms Dec 4-8 this year. I need one room with 2 queen beds and one with 1 king bed. I have been on touringplans to select rooms and they have all the rooms listed as 2 queens. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell which room numbers have king beds?

I always look at touring plans as well so hopefully someone has another resource for room/bed set up. On that note, you can request whatever you want but they will give you what they have available when it comes down to it really as 2 people can use 2 queens or 1 king. Especially if you are looking for rooms near each other. We've booked two rooms before and have never even managed to get them closer than 5 or 6 rooms away even with requests. Enjoy your your MK view!!!

Thanks! I really don't care how close the rooms are because one room is for my DH and I and the other is for my adult daughter and her friend. My husband and I just need a king bed. He is 6'2" and hangs off anything smaller. We also aren't exactly skinny either. We can deal if we get two queens if the view is good. We just won't be able to sleep together.

If you really want a king room then I would make that your only request. Whenever my parents stay at CR they make a single request for a king room and have gotten one every time.

TP’s info is innaccurate when it comes to King beds at CR. There are some there, but NOT VERY MANY! I agree with the PP, if it’s very important to you, make it your one and only request.

I’m not aware of another resource that has them labeled accurately, unless it’s on page one of this thread?

Good luck!

Thanks! No there isn't anything on the first page of this thread which is exactly why I asked. The only thing I can find is room numbers. I guess I will just ask for a room with a king bed and hope for the best.

Just booked our first CR stay, just one night, for January - got a room only discount in today's offer release for a TPV club level.

Anyone know if non-club TPV were included in the offer? Or BLT TPV? Club level was cheaper than rack rate non-club, but would love to save a little more if possible!

 

[Lovinallthingsdisney]

We just finished a quick 4 night Atrium Club level stay. TBH, this was the resort that least appealed to me, but was the only CL available for our dates with a discount. staying there has changed my mind. The room was very spacious and the location cannot be beat for Magic Kingdom. The staff were all very kind and attentive and the smell in the lobby was wonderful. This has definitely moved to the top of my faves list.

Just booked our first stay at BLT. So excited since CR was on my bucket list since I was a kid. Now that we have DVC, I guess BLT will have to do.

 

[melana]

21 days to go till BLT!! Yay!!

I would like to know do they have fresh fruit in the shop at the Contemporary?

I was going to do a garden grocer order but decided to just buy what I need before I go since I am driving. I don’t want to bring things that could go bad out of a cooler.

Was just wondering if they had fruit.
