The hotel was everything one could want: the room was newly updated, comfortable and chic; the flat screen TV was huge; the bathroom was like a little spa. But what made the experience magic was sitting by the pool after dark and watching the adjacent waterway light up with an amazing light show and fireworks. Kids were poking their heads... more

After staying here I cannot believe that anyone with small children would want to stay off of the Disney property. When you can look out of your window and see the Magic Kingdom, you have a sense of being someplace special. We were concerned with the location of our room (right above Chef Mickey's and the renovations). We brought a... more

The Conemporary is a wonderful hotel. We visit Walt Disney World every year with our two children. We have stayed at other Disney properties, but we can not convince our children to stay anywhere else. Yes, it can get noisy, but we have stayed in the Tower both close to Chef Mickey and far from it, and it has not... more

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Contemporary...we go to WDW at least once a year, and just stayed at the Polynesian in May. I was anxious to see how the Contemporary compared to the Poly/Grand Floridian/Wilderness Lodge, all of which we've stayed in the past few years. After 5 nights, I was a bit disappointed... At... more

Had a conference and added on a couple of days. Figured at the conference rate (cheap) we wouldn't end up in the tower but hubby asked and we got upgraded to tower Magic Kingdom view and my parents got pool view. WOW - What a view! We loved coming back at night and just staring out at the castle and... more

Room was great! I wish the bathrooms had better lighting. I used the computer that was in the room for house keeping and my request for more hangers were never filled, so I didn't complain but I don't understand why have that option there if no one reads it. Being able to also use the computer there to look at... more

Ok, so IMO people don't understand the Contemporary. I'm a compete Disney freak, know the history, etc. I've been begging to stay here ever since I was 4 and rode the monorail through the lobby for the first time. Here's the scoop people, this ISN"T like all the other resorts. It's not supposed to be like the others. So no,... more

There's nothing better than being able to walk to the Magic Kingdom. And in general, I like the rooms at this hotel since they've been updated. They're also updating the inside of the hotel with a new restaurant and a new quick food market. Unfortunately, like most Disney hotels though, you can't get a drink past midnight. After a long... more

The Disney Contemporary Resort has many special qualities, and we had a wonderful stay with our two kids aged 10 and 7. The architecture is stunning with its amazing atrium and monorail, and the views of the Magic Kingdom and the entire lagoon are mesmerizing. Who can resist watching fireworks from your balcony every night, having a spectacular meal at... more
