There is a reason you pay a bit more for this hotel . . .LOCATION. You really can't beat it when it comes to transportation options. Short walk to the Magic Kingdom is such a time-saver, especially during crowded times. Monorail to Epcot, transportation center. Staff is really exceptional here. Rooms are huge by Disney standards, and very modern. Bathrooms... More

Came here with family who was attending a business event. The room was well-sized for 3 adults and 1 child however the storage space in the bathroom was not!! I appreciate the contemporary design of the sinks but they are huge space hogs! A couple inches of counter space was all we had. For being so close to Magic Kingdom... More

Contemporary My husband and I took our 5 ½ year old daughter to Disney World May 6-12 for her “big trip” before she starts kindergarten in the fall. We were excited to stay at the Contemporary as I have heard great things about it. Overall, I liked that it was “nice enough”, but not “too nice” (i.e. Grand Floridian) where... More

Way back when - a room here was less than $100. Now the cost is significantly higher, however, it is just a short walk from the Magic Kingdom, Bay Lake is just out the back door and the services are everything you would, or would want to expect. The rooms are large, reflecting the 1970s hotel and Disney has maintained... More

This resort is within easy walking distance from the Magic Kingdom. In fact, walking is faster than their monorail service, at least on the way there (if you get on the monorail at this resort, the MK is the third stop; from the MK, this resort is the first stop). You still need the monorail to get to Epcot, Animal... More

Just completed a five day trip to WDW and stayed at the contemporary. Absolutely fantastic. We are a family of four. Myself, my wife and two daughters, ages 6 and 4. Check-in was no problem. We were met outside by a staff member who knew who we were and escorted us into the lobby. I did a online check-in about... More

The cast member working at the Contemporary were at the top of their game this trip. I have stayed at this resort about four times in the last few years as a judge with an academic competition. Over that amount of time I have not been dissatisfied with my stays. The location does get a little noisy in the morning... More

Resort hotels and theme parks are two types of places I generally have no need to use nor have an interest in. That said, when your company says that is where the meeting is going to be, you go. I spent just under a week at this hotel and the sleeping room is really where we had the problems. Housekeeping... More

I've been to Disney World 8 or 9 times but this was the first time I stayed on the property. I have admired the Contemporary Resort since my first visit in the 1970s, so I was prepared to absolutely love this hotel. The friendly but incompetent service marred my visit, unfortunately. The difficulties started even before I arrived. I was... More
