    ...They're aren't enough elevators for the amount of rooms in the main tower which typically has you waiting in line for them, especially around when the fireworks happen and everyone that isn't staying there shows up. We were on the first floor of rooms above the monorail and we woken up every morning by the monorail workers radios... The hotel is also the loudest I have ever stayed in, you can hear every loud scream from the main floor that echo's to all the rooms... The theme park rooms are very cool to watch the fire works from and the updated rooms are very nice...

The Bell Hop would only bring our luggage to our room if we were in it and it was a 20-30 minute wait... They offered no solution, so we ended up carrying all of our bags across the property to our room...

    We enjoyed 6 nights at the contemporary resort, our room was in the garden wing and was huge! The size of three regular hotel rooms in one, including a bedroom, lounge, dining area, full kitchen (unfortunately no cooking utensils tho so unable to self cater)... I’m unsure if this is what we’d paid for with the agent who booked the holiday, I was expecting a standard hotel room, so this was a lovely surprise!... There wasn’t many Disney references in the rooms (decor wise) is was just a clean nice modern design...

This is a hotel that caters to chaotic, messy, exhausted, families with young kids...

    ...Check in was friendly and helpful as was the bell captains.Our room was facing the lake so had a view of the beautiful sunrise every morning. Room was big and spacious with 2 queen sized beds.Lots of pillows which i find American hotels do very well.Comfortable but the level of the bed is slightly higher so i had to climb onto it rather than just sit and lie... There was an extra pull out sofa for the children if needed.Clean and fresh bedsheets.Toilet was huge with separate shower(no bathtub) and toilet bowl.House cleaning only available every 2-3 days so we didnt have our room cleaned at all as the timing did not suit us.Very nice toiletries provided...

    ...We stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms in the Garden Wing... The Incredibles room design is cute but not at all luxurious... They moved us to a different room further down the corridor but only after several hours of having workmen in the room tinkering with valves and what-not... All in all, I don’t think the stay would’ve been improved much, if at all, by paying the extra for a room in the main tower... Given the wide choice of places to stay in Disney, we wouldn’t choose this hotel again...

    EXCELLENT value for money if your goal is the Magic Kingdom... You paid to get the resort closest to Magic Kingdom by foot (less than 10 mins)... You paid for the convenience of the train right in your hotel... You paid for an "upscale" room, and could've paid more for direct view of the fireworks as well... If you went for the cheapest rooms, you'll be in the back garden with extra few minutes of walking...

Plus, the microwave we requested never was delivered the entire 3 days we were there... No comps at all even though I paid for a room with a patio or balcony and did not receive one...

    The contemporary is nothing special it is like staying in a basic international drive/airport hotel unless you have thousands of pounds to upgrade to a firework view. Been going to Disney for 27yrs and I think unless there is drastic changes universal will be getting my money... Save yourself money and stay on international drive or stay in a luxury universal resort where you actually get a fast pass which guarantees you on every ride... Genie + is a con also as it was gonna be $100 for 1 day for 3 of us and it doesn’t guarantee you on any rides faster... I think I will be giving Disney a pass unless major changes are made... The only reason we even got on rides was because I paid for mickeys very merry Christmas party which was a highlight as whatever way it was done this year was superb and it was not over packed as usual... I definitely would not recommend a stay here in this specific hotel... I have in past stayed animal kingdom with a safari view and port Orleans in a princess room and they were amazing but unless you can upgrade to one of those it’s a no... Disney seems now unless you are rich e.g stay at Disney oaks and get a free private guide it’s a no go...

    ...Which is not bad in itself but not what you’re hoping for when you’re paying nearly £400 a night. Of course if you’re going to Disneyworld from the UK you’ve already thrown any financial caution to the wind... Absolutely hate the big communal shampoo screwed to the wall of the shower... It would’ve been nicer to have been moved straightaway so we didn’t waste an evening of our holiday... All in all, I don’t think the stay would’ve been improved much, if at all, by paying the extra for a room in the main tower... Given the wide choice of places to stay in Disney, we wouldn’t choose this hotel again...

    ...Absolutely hate the big communal shampoo screwed to the wall of the shower... They did give us access to Bay Lake Tower to do our laundry when we couldn’t get the machines in the Garden Wing to work... It was fine to be able to refill our drink cups within the main hotel which was only a short distance away and you can watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the balcony near the shops...

    ...Really poor service and very overpriced. We arrived at 1 o’clock and left our bags with the bell captain who said that they would put the bags in our rooms when the rooms were available... We then ask housekeeping for extra bath towels and are told that there are only 1 or 2 people working in housekeeping for the entire hotel so the towels will take 30 minutes... The towels arrived within 10 mins... It is a complete rip off with a mixture of lovely staff and very unhelpful staff that don’t remember who the customer is...

    ...It took a whole night to chill some bottles of water... The Bell Hop would only bring our luggage to our room if we were in it and it was a 20-30 minute wait... We asked if we could schedule a time for drop off and they said no... The bartender was wonderful but there was nothing he could do to speed the line up... We got take out from the steakhouse on property and they did a great job... Food was cooked wonderfully and they packed everything you could want in the take away bags...

    ...The monorail is located within the hotel structure and the shuttle busses pickup just outside the hotel... Apparently, this is a known issue in this area, but the water smells like sulfer so the bathroom always had an odor and you could smell the bath and sink water, and taste it everywhere water was served... bottle of water and the downstairs store charged 4.69 plus tax... The check-in women was moody and disinterested, gave us incorrect information about using the Disney cellphone app, forgot to give us complimentary luggage tags and answering a question about using the magic band... Later, we stopped at the desk and were given correct information and a missing cardkey... We checked our bags with the valet while we ate before our transfer to the airport arrived... Upon retrieving our bags, the attendant watched us struggle to unload our suitcases from the cart and simply waited for a tip... All the store, restaurant, and housekeeping workers in the hotel we encountered were friendly and helpful...

    ...We got in later than we were supposed to because of flight delay... We had an amazing travel agent help us plan it all... We went to check in and the staff was so nice... We gave them our information and they said that we had a little issue with our room and it wasn't ready... They said that they had another room available if we would like it instead... It was clean, had a refrigerator and they had the towels shaped like Mickey ears on the bed... They were so helpful with all the questions I had about the park since we had never been before... They helped get our luggage to the room and we got all settled in... They also kept our bags at the hotel until we were done at the park our last day until we went to our hotel at Universal...

    ...One day it rained and connections cafe was packed full of people sitting with no food, we wanted to buy food but weren’t allowed to sit without purchasing food which we didn’t want to do unless we had a table, tower of terror was broke down for 2 days, kilamanjaro safaris was closed at 4pm even though animal kingdom opens til 8pm so only go if you don’t want to see animals and also Pandora one of the rides was 250mins, the park was closed at 8pm and at that time the queue was still 185mins. Staff are very unhelpful and do not care if you make a complaint and automatically check you out at 11am, luxury Disney hotel don’t ask how your stay is or provide an option for a late check out, there wasn’t even a note pad or pen... If rides are 4hrs with 20% less capacity I’d hate to see it if it ever goes full capacity...

The entire resort feels more like home than other properties with elegant lighting and soft touches... The fact that we could walk to the MK in 5 minutes, walking through security with only a few people rather than the usual crowds, is priceless... Though the price point is high, I can now see what the Contemporary provides that the moderate resorts simply do not...

Rooms: The rooms were spacious, clean and in good condition... However, our in room fridge didn't work well... Food and Beverage: The Sand Bar needs an additional bartender or an automatic frozen drink maker... We got take out from the steakhouse on property and they did a great job... Food was cooked wonderfully and they packed everything you could want in the take away bags... The only selling point to the Contemporary is the proximity to Magic Kingdom and the monorail... We won't stay at this property again, especially after seeing the Grand Floridian and Polynesian properties and amenities...

    This resort meets and exceeds all my expectations for a Disney world resort. We had a theme park view club level room... The club level offerings are well worth the price and very convenient... The room is newly remodeled and the view of the magic kingdom is phenomenal!!!... On site activities are great even though we didn’t take advantage of any of them... On site dining truly shines with steak 71... The 4th floor offers 2 huge gift shops with apparel, toys, souvenirs, and a market for everything u would need for your stay... The location is amazing with a 7 minute walk to the magic kingdom, truly priceless when ur trying to save time... The staff at club level kitchen were amazing... The valet and front desk staff set the tone when we arrived and accommodated our every need... I’m already planning a return visit to this resort and this will be my number 1 pick when visiting Disney world...

    We enjoyed 6 nights at the contemporary resort, our room was in the garden wing and was huge! The size of three regular hotel rooms in one, including a bedroom, lounge, dining area, full kitchen (unfortunately no cooking utensils tho so unable to self cater)... We managed to do an insta cart online food shop and had it delivered to the hotel reception, they were fine with this and very helpful, this worked well as we bought breakfast and lunches to have in the room then ate out for dinner each night... We took packed lunches into the parks every day which saved a small fortune!... We decided to give the kids the small doubles each and had the housekeeping make up the sofa bed in the lounge for us, this saved all four of us squashing into a small room and the sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable... The hotel it’s self was lovely, plenty to do, pool area is nice overlooking the lake... Kids enjoyed the arcade and we ate in chef mickeys one night which was nice to see all the original Disney characters...

Family-of-ten Disney Trip made easier by staying at the Contemporary. The recent refurbishment to an “Incredibles” theme is nicely done. Staff was terrific across the board. Watch elevator times though because the Mickey Mouse breakfast on the fourth floor is very popular and long lines and short tempers were common around 9:00. Our Grandpa and Grandma reservation was upgraded to the 14th floor concierge status. Very nice! We had a large terrace facing the park and the extended family lounged in comfort watching the fireworks every night (Disney approved, just don’t strip the lounge of goodies). The food selection from breakfast to late night cognac and dessert was of good quality and the wine selection very (burp) lovely. Because we did not pay any upgrade charge for this floor it is hard to gauge how good a deal it is. But, the luxury of having a relaxed fireworks experience (grandkids on the king bed watching movies) was pretty cool. Maybe multi room groups should upgrade one of the rooms to the 14th floor to experience Disney at its finest.

Hotel's Favorite
I recently stayed at Disney's Contemporary Resort Garden wing and wanted to leave a review that had information others missed. I stayed on the first floor with a patio in the garden wing, my room faced the "garden" area which consisted of shrubbery manicured grass and sidewalks leading to the pool and dock area. I have stayed in the main tower before but personally, the garden wing was better, peaceful not as noisy and not many people. I also enjoyed the outdoor access, walking outside the sliding doors for a jog every morning was great. There was a family to my left and across the hall from us with children but I never heard them between the shared walls, only in the hallway. They are currently refurbishing the garden wing but you cannot hear it at all, my room was 2 doors down from the blocked hallway being refurbished, never heard anything. I do have to say, the room was pretty standard, pictures from other guests are accurate, nothing special just an average room closely resembling Marriot or Hilton rooms but it was spacious and very clean, no chemical smells. The coffee station has a Keurig, my family stayed on the third floor they had a Keurig as well, it was an older model than mine but still a Keurig. There are several coffee pods - all Joffreys coffee, with coffee mate cream cups, sugar packets, and cups with lids. The walk from my room to the first floor of the Main tower was 3 minutes for me and roughly 5 minutes from my room in the garden wing to the monorail on the 3rd floor. Masks are currently required anywhere inside the hotel and the garden wing hallways and they are sticklers about it. If you bring your personal vehicle or a rental they do charge a parking fee PER DAY, I believe it was $25 per day to park. There are other charges for valet parking and service if you chose to utilize that service. Also, if you move to another Disney Resort from the Contemporary the bell service will transfer you luggage to that hotel for you, but ONLY suitcases nothing else. Overall, the garden wing is a great option, especially if you would rather be away from the noise of the Main tower and people and if pool and dock access is a must for you and your family.

Fabulous hotel. You can walk to Magic Kingdom. Steakhouse 71 is brilliant (and now does take out too). California Grill not to be missed for a special occasion! For a slightly more chilled out time think about the Garden Wing and ask for a first floor room to take advantage of the outside patio.

The Contemporary has been a bucket-list hotel for me for many years because of its iconic design with the monorail passing through its middle. It's one of the original 1971 Disney resorts, along with the Polynesian. As a Disney Deluxe Resort (the highest category), it's quite pricey. Fortunately, it was on our convention's hotel list, which gave us a reduced (but still high) rate. There are many perks to staying at a Disney resort as long as you're planning on doing a lot of Disney things. Disney resort guests have Early Access to Genie+ park and dining reservations, Early Entry to the parks in the morning, free parking at the resorts and parks, no resort fees, and Extended Evening hours (for Deluxe resort guests only). The Contemporary has the added advantage of being within walking distance (about 10 minutes) to the Magic Kingdom, with a separate smaller and less crowded security station. Being on the monorail line allows access to other Magic Kingdom resorts (Polynesian and Grand Floridian) and to EPCOT. The resort is comprised of the original A-frame structure, a 3-story South Garden Wing, and the Bay Lake Tower (one of Disney's Deluxe Villa/Vacation Club resorts). The hotel was recently refurbished to incorporate a Incredibles theme. Our room was in the Garden Wing, which is much quieter than the main building but only has 2 small elevators. Ground floor rooms have patios, 2nd and 3rd floor rooms have a sliding door but not a real balcony. Most rooms have water and/or pool views; those that face the parking lot I think get a glimpse of the fireworks. The room was fairly large with 2 queen beds plus a long sofa that held a single bed. There was a fridge and coffeemaker, no robes or slippers. The closet was a decent size. Towels are configured like Mickey when you first arrive. The bathroom was extremely well lit with 2 sinks, a large shower with 2 nozzles and a separate WC. I liked both the Incredibles and Monorail touches. Even with many child guests, the wing was fairly quiet, with any noise coming from the hall and not adjacent rooms. The Garden Wing had its own convenient parking lot that was never completely full. The hotel's pool area is not really themed but has a slide and play area for kids, a separate pool extending into the lake, plus a beach and a snack bar. Bay Lake Tower has its own pool. All the dining and shopping options are within the main building. The options are not extensive for a resort of this size. Three of the restaurants require reservations and are on the pricey side: California Grill and Lounge on the 15th (top) floor, Steakhouse 71 and Lounge, and Chef Mickey's (a buffet with Character interactions). Contempo Cafe is a fast-casual eatery which also has a "market" with numerous grab-and-go items. Hot food can be ordered to go. There's a small bar/lounge called Outer Rim and a coffee place near the entrance. We only had a few meals to go from Contempo, and they were quite good, especially the hot turkey sandwich. Overall a nice stay, if a bit overpriced. One must weigh the cost vs. the convenience of a stay here.

The hotel in proximity to Magic Kingdom cannot be beat. While the garden wing is decent (especially for the price), I highly recommend staying in the main tower because of the monorail and restaurants access. We also love watching MK fireworks from the 4th floor balcony.

Conveniently located close to Magic Kingdom; this hotel has exceptional customer service. Our family arrived to the hotel at 7:30 am. My husband was not feeling well. Cast member Precious found a room for us right away. He thankfully recovered after resting most of the day. Traveling to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT is a breeze. Our family of five; used the monorail. We decided to drive to Animal Kingdom and Hollowed. Found out regular parking is free for Disney deluxe hotel guests and only $20 for preferred parking. And we could use the same parking tag for all parks. Great perk! Contemporary has lost of food options and are convenient. Steak house 71 was excellent! You can see the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the walkway and connects another part of the hotel; Disney even plays the music. Housekeeping did an excellent job Keeping our room clean. Even on days when we didn’t need need it and had our do not disturb sign outside; housekeeping would knock asking if we needed anything. ; Now the cons; #1 the sheets/blankets were atrocious! Not the theme or colors but the quality. I mean Comfort Inn has better quality. Whom ever planned and purchased Contemporary’s bedding didn’t do a very good job. The blanks have raw seams Showing and are paper thin. #2 if you want a quit hotel choice the garden wing. We didn’t mind it and found the it entertaining. But when Chief Mickey character dinning gets started at 7:00 am you will hear music, clapping and singing at the top of every hour. The shape of the hotel makes sounds carry and echo extremely well . We had a lake view and ever night without fail a kid theme light show with silly music would commenced. It’s really quite cute. This was our first time at WDW. Have been to Disneyland many of times. Will our family be back….yes. Will we stay at the contemporary again….I don’t know. I really like the look of the Polynesian with it’s Hawaiian theme. All in all, it’s definitely worth it. You are paying for the convenience, location and fireworks entertainment.

Room Tip: Finding a close parking spot can be tricky. Late afternoon is the best time to find a great stop.

Loved our stay - modern, clean and smells fresh. We had the theme park view - 10th floor - excellent views. It was so nice watching the nightly fireworks at the magic kingdom from our balcony. There was a Keurig coffee pod machine in the room - what a great convenience. Pool areas are busy but we enjoyed the round bay lake pool - not crowded - especially at night - towels were provided by the pool - thanks. We had our own car and self parking was convenient. Monorail was great - easy access and fun. Front desk was very friendly and the lobby chase ATM was appreciated.

Casual travelers. Spent one night at Contemporary for MNSSHP. Perfect park facing room. Room 4226. Room was sleek modern airy bright and clean. Large spacious bathroom . Keurig coffee maker with pods and condiments. The only thing I can find fault with were the balcony chairs. They need to be cleaned or replaced. Mobile order breakfast to go from Steakhouse 71 was divine . We ordered Walt’s Hash ..yum!

We absolutely lived the contemporary! We stayed at the garden wing and our room was big enough for all 5 adults. We loved being able to walk to magic kingdom. We can't say enough about how magical the staff is, from the front desk to housekeeping all were kind, helpful, and celebrated with us. Thank you, we will be back soon!
