We just got back last night from a sixteen day trip, and we spent the last five nights doing the Atrium club 10th floor concierge. (The Beach Club also sprinkled pixie dust our way and upgraded our five nights there from a standard room to full concierge. Woohoo!!!)
Yes, we did have a renovated room. The room itself is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures posted on Allearsnet.com do justice. The room itself looks just like it's shown in the pics. The MK view we got was spectacular, and the staff was wonderful.
Just a heads up to people though; it was our opinion that the new rooms are a complete triumph of style over functionality. The sinks look great, but for example, they don't drain well at all so there's plenty of razor stubble left in them until housekeeping comes unless you take the time to clean them out yourself. The bedspreads were pure white, so it was difficult to read a newspaper on the bed without leaving some print ink on the new bedspreads. The inwall LCD TV only gets 13 stations, with none of the resort-only promo channels that are fun to look at while you're staying there. I imagine that this will improve once the entire hotel is finished and a full cable hookup is made. In addition, because it's an HD-capable TV receiving analog signals only, the stations actually look worse on them. Again, once Disney upgrades to HDTV in full, this won't be an issue, but it was for now.
Would we stay again there? Absolutely!!! The convenience of the Contemporary can't be beat, and the staff was nothing short of wonderful. We'll be curious to see if the rooms are a "work in progress", and if other people find things the same way we did.
While we were there, the ninth floor was sealed off and under construction. We never heard any noise from that, although it was rather easy to hear Chef Mickeys even from the tenth floor. We learned not to expect sleep after 7:30 or so in the morning. But who goes to Disney to sleep, right?
We're so sad to be back home! Fire away with any questions!
