Disneys Contemporary Std

Pros: walk to the Magic Kingdom, marina offers excellent selection of activities
Cons: lack of themeing, no toddler pools, Garden Wing rooms are inconvenient to monorail

The Contemporary Resort located adjacent to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is typically a resort which many day guests dream of staying at. Trust me, you are not missing much. The impressive A-frame ...

Pros: Location, several table service restaurants, recently renovated rooms.
Cons: Unexciting pool area, expensive, garden wing rooms distant from monorail.

Although it isn't as glamorous or well-themed as some of the Walt Disney World Resort's newer Deluxe resorts, the Contemporary Resort has always held a certain allure for me, due largely to its history.  This A-frame hotel was one of Walt ...

Pros: Convenient to the Magic Kingdom. Monrail runs through the hotel.
Cons: Price

It has been several years since my family visited the Contemporary Resort Hotel at Disney World but when you visit a resort that thrives and is based upon fantasy I believe my recollections will serve you well as you try to determine the best place to...

Pros: location, room size
Cons: Garden rooms have no direct monorail access, retina burning room decor

Disney's Contemporary Resort is situated right next to the Magic Kingdom. It's the hotel with the monorail running smack dab through the center of the A-frame main tower that you see on television when there's a commercial for ...

Pros: Location, Location, Location
Cons: Those odd bathroom sinks

I just returned from a 4 day, 3 night stay at Disney’s Contemporary and I can not wait to go back. Newly renovated this year (and not completely finished) it actually looks contemporary in a modern 21st Century way. We had booked two adjoining ...

Pros: Beautiful rooms, close to the Magic, Superb restaurants, lots of activities
Cons: Very Expensive, the pool isn't up to par

I’ve always gone through it while on the Monorail, but I never stayed at Disney’s Contemporary resort until this past November. I was so excited to go! My boyfriend called up and requested a view of the castle in the tower rooms and everything...

Pros: Location, room size
Cons: Cheap outdated decor, unknowledgeable staff

Please note that I stayed at the resort just over two years ago, but based on pictures from the official Website and feedback from others who have stayed recently, feel this may still be applicable and helpful to those considering a stay at this hotel. ...

Pros: Rooms are large, Monorail hotel, Close to Magic Kingdom
Cons: Not as "Disney"

Contemporary Hotel- We stayed at the Contemporary resort recently. We are a family of 4 (children 6 & 12). We usually stay at the All-Star Movies resort and we were really looking forward to the larger rooms. The hotel has a Tower and two garden ...

Pros: Easy to get around the whole resort
Cons: Poor cleanliness, slow food service, no coffeemaker, no directory, saggy beds, no lobby lounging area

I was able to stay at the Contemporary Resort during the 2nd week of December 2004. Just to give a frame of reference, my wife and I went there to join some family members at a conference being held there. We don't have any children, so this was mainly ...

Pros: Monorail right in hotel, Family oriented stores and restaurants, arcade
Cons: Price

We have been to Disney many times, mostly pre-kids, but this last visit we decided to stay on site. On our previous visits, we stayed at various condos in the area. With a 5-year-old and an 11-month-old, we figured we might need to return to the hotel...

Pros: proximity to MK, EPCOT, monorail, lake location, bang-for-buck
Cons: not very themed, a little sterile and cold for some, moderate resorts a better buy for non-MK visitors.

The Contemporary Resort is the oldest at Walt Disney World, nearing its 30th year of operation. But due to periodic updates, it really doesn't look that old. While the "contemporary" theme now means truely contemporary, and not futuristic, as...

Pros: The View, The Monorail, Lots to do.
Cons: Cost , Availability is Limited

At the Contemporary Resort, you are just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Magic Kingdom. You can even walk there on the Walking Path. You can also get there by a boat launch or on the Monorail.

If you stay at the Contemporary resort, you...

Pros: Great Friendly Service, Great Food, Great Rooms
Cons: Expensive

This is by far my favorite hotel in the area in and around Walt Disney World. I have stayed on site at a few different Disney properties and off site at even more. You often get more bang for your buck when staying offsite, but the service and location...

Pros: Wonderful Service, large rooms, beautiful location, monorail service, #1 game room and the list goes on
Cons: The price is a bit high, but worth it

First I'd like to say that hehe1's epinion gives a wonderful overview of the Contemporary Resort. I would like to add a short story though about one of the shops there.

My son won a trip to Disney World twice. Yes, twice. First when he was...

Pros: Clean, conveniently located
Cons: none

We have stayed at various resorts on and off Disney in the past, but this was our first time at the Contemporary Resort. This hotel is worth every penny!

Check-in was a breeze. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We were...
