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

Pros: Convenient to Magic Kingdom. Large rooms.
Cons: EXTREMELY outdated. Nowhere near worth the price.
Summary: Appearance & Amenities
The lobby is impressive, but the rooms are a flashback to the 70s. They lacked amenities you would expect in a Deluxe hotel. We had two queen beds, a hair dryer, a safe and an ice bucket. Even most budget hotels ... read more
