Eeyorelover,
DH is very spoiled and seeing how our last trip was a budget trip he wants to splurge this time and stay on the monorail. We have not yet stayed at the Contemporary, but have at the other monorail hotels and this is our second "attempt" to stay here.
If Disney doesn't come out with any specials or codes for our trip then we will finally get to try this resort. Our true love is the Poly. We were there for our honeymoon and it has been favorite since but we've tried others for budget reasons. Our stay at the GF was too good a price to pass up so we had to try it once. The hotel is beautiful, but we both said that we like the Poly better especially for the price difference.
I do definately like the convenience of the monorail especially seeing how we are only staying 5 nights. We always rent a car, but it is alot quicker to get to the parks on the monorail and saves DH the driving.
Disney does have so many resorts to choose from. We've stayed at what is considered their best to their best value and it is all about what is in your budget and how much time you'll be spending at your hotel.
