Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Deb & Bill]

I was so focused on "important" dining reservations that I forgot about breakfast...now there no PPO reservations for the Wave. Do you think we would have any luck walking up around 7:30 or 8am? We have 10 in our group but could split up.

No. We just ate there two weeks ago and were surprised at how busy the dining room was. Even with an ADR, we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. If there are no ADRs available, there probably aren't any tables available. Every time we just showed up with an ADR for a breakfast, like 9ish, the "matron" at the desk growled at us and told us we would have to wait. And we were usually only a table for two, three or four which is what most of the table are. Seating ten without an ADR for PPO is going to be very hard. Just keep watching the website and see if you can get an ADR, right up until the day before. Otherwise, just eat at the Contempo Café.

We walked in 6 mornings without a reservation. The first day the male attendant goes to my DH please have a seat I'll see if we have availability since you do not have a reservation. Then the girl attendant came up to us and seated us within 2 min. I counted 9 empty tables when we were seated, and 4 still empty when we left. I am not counting the tables that people ate at when we arrived, just the ones that were never filled. So I put this on our evaluation email..........................

You should not have a problem, we were their daily by 7:30am ish.

Enjoy

Last trip my parents tried to walk up 3 mornings and were turned away even though they had a bunch of empty tables. The 3rd morning my Dad stepped away, made an ADR for 5 minutes in the future via the App, then were seated.

Hello All,
If we arrive early for BLT check in, do we leave our luggage with a BLT bell service, or do we have to go over to the Contemporary to leave it? TIA!!!

Does the Contemporary have a hot tub and is it usually crowded?
Staying there in July and usually stay at value resorts and I always feel the one thing lacking is a hot tub.

There's actually 2. They've not been crowded when we've been there.

My husband and I are staying at the Contemporary for the very first time in April. We have an Atrium Club Level room booked. We usually stay at the Boardwalk or Beach Club, but couldn’t beat the price , so we are trying something new! Any information anyone can give us will be appreciated. At first I was a little bummed, but now I am looking forward to at least trying something something new.

Oh that sounds fun! I've looked at their club level offerings, they look really good! We spent too much time in the park (and don't drink) to make it worth it for us, but I can imagine its a great deal for someone. Plus if you're used to getting to Epcot easy, its only one quick stop to the TTC. It's a breeze.

Is there a Starbucks in the Contemporary? We have a garden wing standard view room and I dislike Geoffry's coffee. (However you spell it)

No Starbucks in any of the actual resorts. There is a little coffee bar downstairs on the first floor, but it serves Joffrey's.

BLT.

TUSM for your response!! So excited!

Hi All,
I don't see it on the Kitchen list, but hoping the villas have a blender? Anyone know? TIA

I thought Swan and/or Dolphin have a Starbucks in the hotel.

I've never seen one.

Anyone know if you can order a cot for a 1BR villa? Trying to figure out sleeping configurations for us.

No cots or rollaways will be provided for DVC villas. You'll need to bring your own airbed if you need an additional sleeping space if someone doesn't want to share the sleeper sofa.

Most of the villas do have blenders. If you don't see one in your villa, just call Housekeeping and ask for one.

Thanks @Deb & Bill! I appreciate the quick answer!
