| Love Contemporary! We first stayed in the Contemporary resort in 2002, in a garden view room. We went in preparing to hate it, and boy, were we surprised! We fell in love with it! Our room was spacious, comfortable and easily slept the four of us (myself, DH, DS and my DNephew). I loved getting up in the morning and walking out our patio doors to Bay Lake. Our bathroom was huge and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed the retro-70's theme, although that has since been updated. Our next adventure at the Contemporary was in a Tower Room. We opted for a room with a Magic Kingdom view. I can not say enough about this room. The view was spectacular, the room was modern and comfortable with a flat screen TV and a computer work station. My only complaint was the bathroom sinks, which were square and flat and had little to no storage room. They need to put a shelp above the sinks. We ended up using one sink for water and storing things in the other sink!  I love the amenities that the CR has to offer. The monorail running through it gives it a sense of magic that no other resort possesses. We often relax at the Outer Rim with a cocktail, and we will be very sad to see The Concourse Steakhouse go. The grounds of the CR are nice, we love to walk out the the marina and just relax. This resort is definitely one of our favorites!  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Contemporary Hotel, take me back! We loved the Contemporary this December. The monorail makes it easy to get to either the Magic Kingdom or Epcot as well as the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian. Our room was a great size for us and the linens including the towels are top notch. We enjoyed free internet access with a computer in the room. Mousekeeping was great and very friendly whenever we encountered them in the hallways. The rooms were quiet (we were in the South Wing). The only negatives were naturally, cost, and the lack of an adequate counter service type restaurant for grabbing a quick bite. And, although very elegant and stylish, there's nothing in the hotel that screams, "this is Disney!" I'd definitely return to this hotel. We had a wonderful time here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Didn't get it Although I haven't stayed here since I was in my teens, I do go to the resort on every trip. I view the grounds while heading for parasailing and eat in the Concourse or Chef Mickey's. I've also viewed the rooms during various Travel Agent Trips. The quality, while still at Disney-levels has suffered over the years, sure everything is clean and up to snuff, but it no longer seems fresh to me Acessability ? the monorail goes right through it for Pete's sake !!! 10 !!! Affordability ? 8 this resort in my mind should be priced lower than it is. Theme...just a 6 and that's mainly because I don't quite get the theme at all. Amenities...the lobby, the monorail and the watercraft / watersports area, and the services are all great, but I knocked it down to an 8 because of the pool, nothing special here compared to the other luxury resorts in WDW As for the Magic.. the Monorail goes right through it for Pete's sake !!! 10 !!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Contemporary My son and I stayed there in August 2006 shortly after it's refurbishment. We were in the tower with a MK view. What a view too! Looking over Seven Seas Lagoon was fantastic, watching the boats and the water pageant going around was pretty neat! The resort is just fabulous. I used to think it left me cold, but it grew on me, and now I am glad that I stayed there! The transportation was pretty reliable and you cannot beat being able to WALK to Magic Kingdom!! Then after a tiring day in the park, hop the monorail! Of the very few things I remember about my first trip to WDW, seeing the monorail going through the Contemporary is the number 1 memory! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|  We had a wonderful time at the Contemporary. The rooms were nice, we had a first floor room with patio and a view of Bay Lake. It was particularly lovely in the early morning and evening. The service was excellent on check in. I was a little nervous about all the demolition going on(we stayed in April of '07 and they were demolishingone of the Garden Wings), but I can't say that we even noticed. Our favorite part, though, was the proximity to the Magic Kingdom. Our DS (3y.o.) loved the monorail! All in all, we'd stay again | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Contemporary The Contemporary is great for quick commute times to The Magic Kingdom and Epcot. The monorail through the lobby adds tons to the overall magic. And the views of the nightly fireworks from the tower rooms (Bay Lake side) are awesome. Overall, I love this resort! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We loved this one! I always wanted to stay there one day and so eventually we did. The proximity to the Magic Kingdom is the biggest plus of all, the personnel were very friendly and very helpful, the food choices were great too. Not as themed as some other resorts but still great. Of course cost is a factor but you do get what you pay for and this is no exception...it was a deluxe resort by all standards. One thing though...those thin square sinksUGH. Everything else good. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
