Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[doombuggy]

As long as you time it right, it’s not too bad. We’ve been here for the past 4 days and have gotten used to it. This will probably be our only trip staying in the tower with a TPV so it’s an ok trade off considering what it cost us I guess.

@hammie59 you mean like use the elevator at an off time? Does the stairs on the BLT side exit out to that terrace? Maybe you can use the stairs to go down?
I'll be there Aug 28-31 by myself...

BLT, the coffee maker: i can bring standard grounds and a standard filter?

Yes. Standard flat bottom filters for 8-12 cup Mr Coffee unit. If you forget them you can purchase filters in the market.

Last year at BLT I used Instacart (Publix) and they met me outside the BLT lobby. It was a little less expensive than GG and just as at obtaining what we ordered.

FWIW, I brought filters and coffee but I ended up using the Joffrey’s packs that come in the room. Each one makes 8 cups and it was pretty darn tasty (I’m not a coffee snob, but I don’t like junk either and am somewhat picky). I called and asked for extras since we go through a lot of coffee. Plus easier than messing with filters and scooping coffee.

Note, I was there on a cash reservation, not sure if coffee supplies are different when booked as DVC.

I am also a Cash ressie since its a force move from the Poly. You were able to request daily?

 

[Dave006]

Yes if you are staying on a Cash reservation.

Normally your consumables like coffee would have been replenished with the daily mousekeeping visit. Daily mousekeeping service has been suspended for the time being. You can call to request replacements / additional supplies.

I just called and asked for extra regular coffee packs and they brought up a bunch. Super simple.

They sometimes replenished them on the every other day trash day, always did on the every other day more full cleaning.

I was a Poly refugee as well. We enjoyed BLT quite a bit. Hope you have a great trip!

So, we booked garden wing garden view and I just got my room assignment -- they're putting us in a 2 bedroom at BLT. Is there something going on with the garden wing because that's an insane upgrade.

Don’t be like us and go gaga over the enormous room. Act cool! Lol

Remember you can use the BLT pools and the CR pools, that’s a really nice feature about staying there.

I forgot about that, thanks! It's a theme park view room, too. I am not sure I'm capable of acting cool about it!

I got my room assignment and it was a studio at BLT (we had a garden wing room booked at CR). I called because we need two regular beds (we don't book DVC rooms because of this need) and they put us in a 2 bedroom villa.

There was an issue last week with the Garden wing concerning the water. Guests were notified that the water would be off for a period 1 day. I believe it was last Thursday.

Disney also moved may other guest the the CR due to several other resorts being closed. They also have quite an abundance of DVC rooms available due to the 60 day booking window.

This is a silly question but I just wanted to confirm: the walkway from BLT/CR to MK is open now, right?

Yep, it’s open.
