Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Deb & Bill]

Is the Main Pool heated in January? I realize it may be too cold for swimming anyway.

All the pools are heated at WDW. But they aren't hot tub warm, just about 75-80 degrees. So if the air temperature is a lot lower, you don't want to come out of the water.

Well in less than 24 hours the Magical Express will be dropping us off at the CR.

I can only hope our room is ready like last year.

We have FP's booked in Epcot starting at 2:35 in case of any delays.

Then off to dinner at Le Celier in Canada.

Getting soooooo excited.

Wishing all a safe week.

Take care

We booked garden view in December for me and my husband and my two year old to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We couldn’t afford the the tower, and usually stay at the poly. Will we be disappointed staying in the garden wing? Is there the refillable drink stations close by or only in main tower ?

Other years the items here were DDP snack credits, but I don’t see the symbol on the pics. Does anyone know if they are snack credits this year?

We haven't stayed at the CR (first stay coming up in Dec), but I think the only refill drink stations are in the main tower. Hopefully others will be able to verify that (or correct me if I'm wrong), as well as compare staying in the tower vs the GW. Hope you have a great trip .

Packing for our arrival in 3 days!!

Have a great trip!

Booked at Contemporary Standard room overlooking MK.

• How many people are able to fit on the balcony?
• Do they still pump in music onto the TV's for MK's fireworks?
• How much prettyness/walking space is there at the resort that's somewhat quiet.

I’m not sure how many people fit in the balcony but our family of 5 fits comfortably when we watch the fireworks.

The firework music is piped in on channel 105.

You can go for a nice walk along the beach and on the docks...

Good morning! We’ve stayed at all the monorail resorts except BLT. What does everyone think of the pools and beach area? We spend some time at the pools everyday and love to watch the nighttime electric parade.
I’ve watched videos and looked at pictures of the pool areas, but would like honest opinions. It’ll be me, dh and our 7 year old daughter.

I like it. The pool slide lit up at night is a cool, MICKEY head.

The hottub is in a cozy spot.

Also you can go to CR and use pool there too. (just they cant use blt)

You can go up to any floor except 16. There are large windows and seats by the elevator on every floor. Its fun to check out the view from both banks.

I used to sit on the beach area but our last stay was Jan 2017. It was cold and we didn't have time. Not sure if that is still there with fences that have been added to some resorts.

We have stayed at BLT twice, and love the resort. Our only issue with the BLT pool is it is in full shade in the afternoons. So we always walk over to use the Contemporary pool.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the theme park studio balcony (how many feet across)
thanks

I reserved a cabana at Contemporary. The CM said it is located at "Feature Pool 2" but could not elaborate on what this means. Having never stayed at the CR, can anyone explain what feature pool 2 is and if this is a good location for kids 7 and under?

 

[Staren]

I would assume that pool 2 is referring to the smaller round pool that looks over the lake. CR is tricky because the pools are not named, but the larger pool is usually called the main pool.

As for if it is good for smaller kids, most people consider it the unofficial quiet pool. Whether that is good or bad depends on your kids.
