The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort & Bay Lake Tower FAQ with PICs! (July 2011)

[anne thomas]

There are two deep drawers in the closet. I like to put items in there that are fine getting wrinkled like underwear, socks, workout attire and swimsuits. There are also two wide/deep drawers near the bed and shelves in the two closets that you can put heavier items, like pants. Here are my photos of all the drawer space:

4 HANGERS Oh what will I do

Go with the wrinkle look......I'll be in Disney who cares waka waka

Call Mousekeeping if you need more, they should have no problem providing you with extra.

Also curious about what kind of coffee makers are in the tower rooms. We usually bring coffee and filters from home but if the they have Keurig I can skip it.

Just returning 10/10 - stayed tower 10th floor BLV - regular coffee maker not the keurigs ....

There are another 4 hangers in the other closet on a bar above the safe / drawers ( or at least there were in my room last weekend )

I think I already know the answer to this question, but is there anywhere on CR property you can see the fireworks if you're outside? If you can see the castle form where you are standing, can you see fireworks, too?

If you don't reserve their Tower - Theme Park View you can watch Wishes from the 4th floor observation deck and the California Grill if you make an ADR over there.

You can also see the majority of the fireworks from the beach by the hammocks at the end of the Garden Wing. And then stay around for the Electric Water Pageant.

Thanks...that's what I was hoping to hear!

I stayed in the Garden wing about a month ago. We had ordered a bag of Starbucks coffee from GG. Only to find out when we got there, the room had a Keurig K-cup coffee maker. There was always an ample supply of K-cups left each day by the room attendant. Usually 6-8 cups.

There was a Keurig coffee maker? Not just a regular four cup?

Oh WOW Now you're talking. DH and I LOVE our Keurig. Can anyone confirm if BLT has the Keurig coffeemakers? We are staying in a 1BR Oct 27-31 and would like to know if we should bring some K Cups?

I actually called today and the CR Tower rooms have the pods...BUT you can request a regular coffee maker too...HTH

I am truely confused now, as why would the garden wing rooms have a Keurig and a tower room not? Maybe the previous occupant requested a regular type coffee maker ?

I will be so happy if my TPV room has a Kuerig

The last time I stayed at the Contemporary in August 2010 they only had one bench right up front so you could sit down, so if you wanted to do that I would suggest getting there at least half an hour or earlier.

Now I haven't been there during July 4th week but I have seen it on regular nights I have seen it get crowded with others who went there to watch Wishes.

Just did online check-in!

Only 3 more sleeps until we are home at the CR! (of course, DD is the only one sleeping at this point, Mom and Dad have too much to do before the trip!)

Can't wait to get there!

Thanks for this Do a lot of people hang on the beach? I imagine it isn't as crowded as the Poly beach.

When I have stayed there with the Bay Lake View and looked outside I have never seen anyone on the Contemporary beach compared to the one at the Polynesian.
