I can tell you that two years ago we stayed at the Contemporary, and last year Wilderness Lodge, and after that visit I said I would never fork out the extra money to stay at the Contemporary again. Don't get me wrong, the walk to MK is very convenient and we had Tower theme park view, which you cannot compare to WL. However, we thought the bus service was very quick to MK in the morning. We did sometimes stop at FW to pick up people, but it was so close and only has one stop that it may have added 5 minutes to the ride. We had rented a car because I loathe the bus experience, but since the bus service was so great, we never used it! I loved Roaring Forks and felt it was so convenient, more so than Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary. We used the boat only for our return back from MK, because the bus was so much quicker. There was construction when we were there, but I'm not one to bothered by that because we do not spend a lot of time at the resort.
