Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[hammie59]

It’s probably like buses. Rope drop , or end of night busy. However midday probably not so bad.

I have a trip soon and I’m not worried. You can stay home if it’s a problem. Me ? Nope!!!!

Enjoy your trip! It’s gonna be amazing!

You are correct. Midday and late nights are not bad at all. Early evening is another story, but it’s doable. We just left after a 10 night stay and noticed a shift in resort and park attendance over the last few days with it getting busier. Hopefully not too much more for your sake!

Tried to fax a room request today and it would not go through. Fax number seems to be malfunctioning as it picks up then makes a funny ring for a while before finally the fax starts negotiating, confusing the sending machine. I tried on my office fax as well as a fedex office store and they both failed. Anyone else happen to try today?

Don't bother faxing a request. Just add it to your reservation.

Hello everyone,
We are headed to CR to celebrate our 35th Anniversary 8/14-8/16. We have California Grill for 8/14 for our anniversary big night out and our planning to go to Epcot for fun on 8/15. Looks like nothing at The Wave for breakfast( right now) Should I bring breakfast food and maybe snacks? Is the store open ? Can we maybe sit at the bar at The Wave? (loved that in the past)
Any CR tips from those who have been there recently? We are in a GW room for the first time, we are super excited and just so happy we can go that we would stay in the broom closet!! Anything we need to know about not being in the Tower?
Thanks for any advice

The Wave does have breakfast, just not the buffet.

Chef Mickey's is serving a family style breakfast and has ADRs for 7:35 AM on 8/15. The Wave has later breakfast ADR starting at 9:05 AM. The Fantasia Marketplace is open. And yes the Wave bar is open with social distancing.

The Garden Wing is very nice, same size rooms as the tower and much quieter in general. Only 3 floors, 1st floor has a patio and 2nd & 3rd floors only have a sliding window with a railing with no balcony.

Thank you- we have been by the Garden Wing dozens of times and I never noticed it had 3 floors. I am so glad the Market is available still and I am thinking now Chef Mickeys as an alternative.

Staying at BLT for the first time in early September. 2 questions:
1. Is there any rumor that the Epcot monorail loop will start up soon?
2. How is the elevator situation?

I’ve been at BLT all week and the elevator bank we use (South elevators, I think) isn’t busy at all. We haven’t shared with any other parties and haven’t had to wait more than a minute at any point.

I am looking forward to it. I watched a video and wow so much yummy food and you get to watch the monorail etc.

I am going to get a mimosa too! Vacation right?

...can’t stop thinking of the cheesy potatoes....

We cannot wait either. I just read the Wave has grits too!! Nothing is more special than watching the monorail and having a mimosa!!!

I am probably going to Uber tonight. Is Whispering Canyon in the main Wilderness Lodge ?

Yes! From main entrance out front as you enter lobby it will be on your left, The gift shop will be on your right just around the corner from check in desks.

‘Just above the entrance there are stairs up to a fireplace on the 2nd/3rd floor. There are glass doors you go through and up. You can’t miss it. It’s a cozy little spot to check out. Ds and his grandpas favorite spot.

I am not sure with resort closed if that’s open. CCV is open so maybe?
