question about Contempory

[tassie42]

we are going next April and I called cro to reserve a tower room I asked for MK view and the guy said "oh um Let me see ,I think these rooms are on the other side.'" Then he said oh I can request that for you. but he didn't sound too positive.

Do you pay more for MK view? what is the view on the other side. is it sevens seas lagoon on one side and mk on the other. are there any not so great rooms(views)


Thanks for your help

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (we've just recently booked our first CR tower stay so I'm no expert) but I believe that asking for MK view is just like any other regular room request (say if you asked for third floor, near elevator, etc.). It doesn't cost extra but you may or may not get it.
When we booked our tower room the reservationist said she'd put MK view in as a request.

It sounds like you got a new and not-too-knowledgeable CM. I'd just call back and talk to someone else if I were you. The first time I called to make our reservation, I requested bedrails for our toddler (something I've done on previous trips with no problem) and the CM said they didn't offer bedrails at WDW resorts unless a guest is disabled! I just called back the next day and got "guaranteed bedrails" added to my reservation.

Have a great trip!

The other view is Bay Lake. We had MK view and asked for it again for our Sept trip. I've read on another thread that Bay Lake view is great too. You can see the Electric Water Parade from your balcony.

Go to Allearsnet.com for pics of Contempory. An awesome photo of a sunrise over Bay Lake is in there.

There's the MK view on one side and the lake/pool view on the other. We go every year and stay at the CR and always ask for the lake/pool view. It's just our preference and I think both views are great. It's only a request, but so far we always seem to get it. I think the MK view is alittle harder, because most people enjoy watching the castle change colors at night. I really believe the cm's try to honor all requests. If your alittle leary about your first call, just call back to confirm that it's put on your ressie and I'm sure you'll get the view you want. Have loads of fun, the CR is a magical resort and our favorite.
