The NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort FAQ with PICTURES! (Feb 2008)

[wdwluver]

I put new pics on my site, but I was told that the quick serve restaurant now has an opening date of November 15th. (it certainly could end up being earlier - I'll be there a lot during that time period and will be checking occasionally).

Thanks for the update. I'm just getting excited as the time draws near.

Just booked CR garden view for June. We haven't been there in a while and I am excited. Is there anyone who knows what the menu will be for the new quick-serve restaurant? I remember years ago you could get any fast food item there, chicken tenders, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, nachos, etc. It seemed like when Poly redid their quick-serve they lost alot of menu items. Any info would be appreciated!

Thank you for posting this information about the opening date and for posting those other pictures on your site.

Question: Will the main pool (w/slide) be open March 29-April4? I know it's scheduled for rehab. Any other rehabs at CR during that time? Will all of the inside work (Chef Mickeys, Tempo, etc.) be done by then?

It's been said the pool renovation will go from Janurary 5 - March 2009, however no date in March was said as to when it would be completed. However assuming everything goes according to plan I would say the pool should be open when your there, based on the date your arriving. Besides that there will be no other renovations taking place inside the Tower.

I would think the Contempo Cafe menu would be similar to the Food & Fun Center and I assume they will still have all the salads and sandwiches that are available in the frides. So I guess we just have to wait for the opening to find out what the menu will look like.

I can't wait to see the new Contempo Cafe in January! I hope you have some pictures and menu! Oh! One more thing Does the Contemporary has florida resident special? And they have coffee makers and a mini refrigerator in all of the rooms! Tower view of the Magic Kingdom will be nice!

I think I heard this somewhere, but I'm not sure if it is true or not...

If you stay in a Tower MK view room...do they have a channel on the TV that plays the Wishes music while the fireworks are going off?

I hope that's true, because it will make watching Wishes from the room balcony even more magical!!

Thanks!

I believe all rooms in CR have this music channel. CR Resort Fan can tell you the exact channel, it was posted a few pages back

Thanks for your response, spaceace!!

I would appreciate it if CR Resort Fan could post the channel -- I went back about 15 pages looking for the TV channel but couldn't find it.

I was going to look through more pages, but it was making me too excited about our upcoming stay in the Contemporary!

It was channel 18 or 19. I don't remember exactly which one, however I do remember it was either one. So when Wishes starts go to either channel to find out.

Does anyone know what code CA stands for? I have a 2 day room only booking, followed by 13 nights MYW package with dinning at CR on 11th December & on my email confirmation its says Garden Wing standard view (CA). Thanks for any info.

Also, on Christmas day what do you think the chances are of getting in MK around 6.30pm?

Awesome, the 15th would be perfect. We arrive on the 17th and I was hoping to be able to have some other eating options than what I hear they currently have. Thanks for posting this, and the pics look great.

Hopefully when I go, I'll be able to report back that it is indeed open and I can supply some sort of menu item choices to everyone.

a couple of us asked this a while back...mine has a CF behind it... CR Resort Fan told us it's just codes Disney uses

hi all, We are going down to contemporary from nov 30-dec 6th. My family of five( dw, dd5, dd3. dd2) are staying tower mk view, and my in-laws are in another room. when we made the ressie, they noted "traveling with" on the ressie. They said they would try to make the rooms adoining. My questions is this, is there a map of the cr that shows adjoining rooms?

thanks
corey

Just caught something about pool renovations. What do you think the chances are they'll be done by March 22?

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

This is just a guess but since they say the pool renovations are to be finished in March I would say it's above a 50% chance they will be finished before you arrive, since your checking in towards the end of the month. However I could be wrong about that so we just got to wait and see what day the renovations are to be finished.

I didn't know about the upcoming pool refurb and will be staying at CR 1/23 - 2/1. Will another resort's pool be available for CR guests to use in lieu of theirs being closed? I know while Stormalong Bay is closed the Boardwalk pool is being made available to YC and BC guests so I'm assuming there will be an alternate for CR guests.

Thanks muchly!
