how do you book the Contempory resort ?

[nee]

I would like to stay there, but cannot find it in any brochures. Do you need to book it direct with Disney and book flights seperately ?

I know Thomas Cook, Thomsons and VH don't have it as one of their hotels. You can book it direct through Disney. There may be other TA's who list it but I dont know of any.

could try dreams unlimited but obviosly will be in dollars .may be cheaper than UK disney site. I think they they can quote on flights as well but if not you could sort that yourself or through broschure which ever you prefer. Good luck let us know how you do.

When are you going? If you are booking closer to the time, the US often has great offers. If you want free dining and it is offered for your dates, you are better doing it through Disney UK if you want to book more than 5 months ahead of time. Does Complete Orlando not offer it?

i think virgin holidays do do it, i remember seeing it as an option online recently

Virgin will do just about anything if you phone and ask them, but it all comes at a price. I find it best to book flights (or a fly drive if you want a car) then book the hotel direct.

Virgin usually do it and it was online until a few days ago but theyve now taken it off..............................thanks to us
we booked in April and it wasnt until a few days ago that our room was being confirmed with Disney that there was a problem.
At some point Disney had spilt the garden wing on the Contemporary into different categories. Virgin werent aware of this until the other day and now want us to pay loads more for the room we usually have.

Disney.co.uk have this on their site

We stayed in the Contemporary Tower for 3 nights last month, we booked through Disney UK.

Thanks for replies, I would like to go in early November this year. So will try the Disney UK site.

you could always rent DVC for bay lake towers I am sure it will be cheaper but obviously wont be able to have DDP free. Lots of options

I dont' see how they can make you pay. Well okay, I can see their point in trying, but if they don't keep up to date it is essentially their problem. I hope you put up a lot of resistance to this.

we've tried, believe me.
Its even worse because we need the room due to us needing a disabled room with a roll in shower for our son. we are now only getting a wheelchair acessible room and if we want to get the roll in shower its going to cost apporox £700 more.
I can see all sides of the situation but i feel that as Virgin werent aware they should waiver the fee or at least give us some sort of deal, but they wont. To us the holiday is now of a lesser value than what we booked for.

Weve had a really bad year with our sons school and we know his last year there is going to be just as bad. 'This holiday is a celebration of him leaving it.
Its coming up to a year to go and at the moment we just dont feel like celebrating, got a bitter taste in our mouths at the moment.


I have looked at other companies eg Disney.co.uk but theres nothing available

However im sure we will have a great time after all we are going to Walt Disney World
