The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort FAQ with PICTURES! (APR 2009)

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Just had a question come to mind because of a comment on another thread. How far is the walk from the front of the BLT to the bus stop at the Contemporary? Trying to remember if you just go through the parking lot then turn left. I am hoping that there is a little walkway. TIA

It's about a 1 minute walk and I believe you can walk along the side walk when going there, so it's very easy.

Ok all my little CR peeps....I need your help!!

I need to get my hands on a Green Monorail playset.
Can't find them on EBAy.
Can't specify color on Disneyshopping.com

Do you think I can call the shop at the CR and have them ship one home for me?

TIA for your help!!!

PS: CRFAN4LIFE...if you haven't already left...have a Magical trip!

I found the green monorail in stock for $72.95:

Or you could try calling WDW merchandising: (407) 363-6200.

Thanks so much. Have a great trip!!! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Thanks for your help WDWKOOK!

I called merchandising, but they only have the current color available...orange.

Also, Disneystore.com can't guarantee what color will ship.

I ended up getting one on Amazon for $99.00!

Oh well, lesson learned...get it while vacationing!!

We just wanted a standard tower MK view, but all that showed online when we could book on 8/3 was club level with MK view, so I went ahead and did it! Way more than I wanted to spend, but I wanted to be sure DH got the MK view he wants. This is probably our once in a lifetime trip to WDW, so we're "going all out" for it. I'm a planner and getting the package booked is the first thing marked off my list of things to do. On to March for ADRs!! I know that when I would play with the WDW online system last year it was the same situation. Only club level showed up, but later in the year, all types of rooms were available. I'm just not patient enough to wait!

Glad you found it. Someday you can sell it on eBay for twice as much!

Will a gallon of milk and a gallon of water fit in the fridges in the Contemporary rooms?

Congratulations on booking the Atrium Club. It's so exciting to get that res. confirmation and let the planning begin. When/if a non-club level room opens up and/or any 2010 codes are released, you can always change your reservation up to 45 days prior without penalty.

Here is a link to room photos showing the interior of the fridge:

Click-on "CR Main Gallery" - "Room Photos" - Standard Room."

You'd have to remove the shelving to fit the gallon size.

I don't think so. You could probably do 2 half-gallons, though.

Is there no small freezer section on the refrigerator? I like to freeze bottles of water before going to the parks.

No, there isn't a freezer compartment. Perhaps if you filled-up the ice bucket and put a couple of bottles in them in the fridge they'd be colder.

Our fridge (last month) had a very small freezer compartment. It held 2 bottles.

For those of you who have stayed MK view from both Bay Lake Tower and the CR main building...is there one building that has better views over another? If a 4/3 deal comes out for next year, I may change my current ressie and go all out and book a MK view at the CR...I like the idea of BLT because it has a zero entry pool...one of the reasons my DD loved the Poly last year because even though she can't swim yet, she can still walk around and not need a lifejacket and mom all over her! This may be our last "big" trip to WDW so I want to get a great room with the best MK view possible. TIA for your help

Also, I'm wondering how crowded the monorail gets inside the CR now that BLT has opened. I know it always seemed busy on our way through to the Poly, and wondered if you have to wait a little longer with so many people boarding from two different buildings???

If you don't get a response from the CR thread, you might want to post this to the BLT thread or even to the Resorts forum.

Thank you for this! I'm trying to show my DD to persuade her away from the Poly....it's a tough sell...she loved it so much! But if she can see some pretty fireworks from our room, that might just trump fireworks from the beach! You can hear the Wishes music from your tv set right?

Yes, the Wishes soundtrack is played on the TV and in the club level lounge you can watch/hear it.
