Please tell me about the Contemporary Resort.

I've never been to WDW, but will in about 3 to 4 years. I'm starting to research hotels. The Contemporary Resort looks sort of bland to me. But what caught my interest was the fact that the monorail goes through their lobby. So convienient! But I'd really like to hear more about the whole resort. Thanks.

I've never stayed there but have eaten at Chef Mickey's so we watched the monorail go through plenty of times while we were eating.

You might want to ask this question over on the Disney Resorts board.

I love the CR and I think you would, too!

Here is the link to the CR's FAQ thread on the Resorts board:

Contemporary is my favorite resort. I'm all about convenience though, so the walking path to MK plus the monorail to MK or Epcot pretty much has me sold. Square footage of the rooms are some of the largest on property. The room decor happens to appeal to me, some people do not like it however - just a matter of personal preference there. I do like that the toilet has a door, one person can use the toilet with a small degree of privacy with another uses the sink or shower. Compared to the Polynesian were there is no privacy in the bathroom. This may not be an issue for most people but I usually travel with my mother and/or my teenage son so a little privacy is nice. We've stayed out in the less expesive garden wing, and I love it out there. Very peaceful, close to the beach, marina, walking paths, pool and the little pool side snack bar. Most people prefer the hustle and bustle of the main building though, so again, a matter of personal preference.

Thank you VERY much for the helpful replies. This may be the hotel for me when I go.
