[mickey916]

This should help.
Rats I don't know how to make it bigger. Just google Disney Contemporary room numbers , then images. Lots of the resort maps pop up with numbers.

Hello!
Has anyone driven North past the Contemporary? I was wondering what is down that road?
Any grocery stores or restaurants?
Thanks!

There is a shopping center up there with a Publix and a decent amount of food options. It is called Lakeside Village Center.

Is that in Orlando?

We just booked a trip for the end of July. It's been a long time since we've stayed onsite.

When the Magical Express leaves MCO, how many stops does it make before the Contemporary?

Thanks!

Address says Windermere. It’s about a 4 mile drive from CR.

It tends to vary as to the number of guests arriving at the same time as you at DME and what resorts they are heading to.

It may be 3 resorts or more or less.

The Publix in Lakeside Village, is it more expensive than a Publix several miles away?

We haven’t been there yet but planning on going there on our next trip. I would think that prices would be similar to other Publix stores since they are not on Disney property. There is also a Flippers close to Publix. We are going to pick up some pizza too.

I'm planning a visit in early July - is the boat from the Contemporary to WL still operating?

I don’t think it is. You can walk to MK and catch a boat from there.

Thanks for letting me know; I surely will miss the convenience of taking the boat ride directly from the Contemporary but it is what it is..

Don't give up yet as July is a long way off at the moment. Check back right after the Memorial Day weekend in May.

Just got back from wdw,. Our last 2 nights were TPV at CR(not blt)
I have always been on the upper floors but this trip it was 4348, 7th floor, last room on end towards MK.

I could see the express monorail from the hall outside of our room. From the upper floors you do not. So if you have a mono lover floors 6/7 would be nice for a TPV room. Also we often up on 12th floor but found the view similar. Actually dd said the view lines up better between the balcony railings lol.

EWP. 8:40 it was in front of gf and could see it well but barely hear it. 8:50 at poly and could see but not as good.

After that the show continued running as it made it’s way to Bay Lake for view on that side. Then again at the end of the night they kept the lights on as it returned to the storage canal.

So I saw it lots but didn’t get to really hear it from TPV side.


Arrival on DD’s birthday 3/19!

I never realized that the TPV rooms had such a nice view of the EWP. The lagoon was really pretty at night. Hope it was a great trip.
