Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

[Rich M]

I understand your struggle, I am doing a CR/BC split stay this fall for MNSSHP and DHS/Epcot access!

Contempo Cafe does not have Coke Freestyle Machines. It has the classic style machine. The only monorail resort with Freestyle machines is GF.

A great deal came up for YC water view today and I had to jump at it. Every time I try to get YC its always way too much so I switched back to the DHS/Epcot access. I just wish my GF day was the party night so I could have made it work perfect but I guess I will be jumping on a bus to YC after the party lol

There is still time! I haven't submitted my DME because I always change my resorts around Glad you were able to secure a good rate!

I have a stay Dec 8th to Dec 11th that I just changed from Beach Club to Contemporary. I booked it because it was a little cheaper than Beach Club and figured it would be good to be close to MK for Christmas Party. I see the Garden area is not in the main tower. Did I downgrade my self going to the Garden section over staying at Beach Club?

No actually the views from the Gw at Cr are much nicer than BC. Bc has lots of views of parking lots and roofs. Won’t get that at CR.

You’ll love walking to mk too!

Thank you for that but we have switched to YC when an offer came for water view. It was a tough decision for sure though.

When is your trip?

I have 3 this year. Oops I got crazy, Labor Day weekend, 9/14/15 and Columbus.

Lake house we bought in 2015 is finally almost done with gut and rebuild. My Disney trips will be far less , more like me and dd only .

I currently have two left this year. 10/23 for MNSSHP at CR/BC and 12/7 at BC/Poly for MVMCP. I am also trying to head down for the SWGE AP preview, but the flights are insane. I have BWI CL and CSR booked if the prices drop to something I am comfortable with!

Congrats about the house! I am sorry your WDW trips may decrease. There is never enough Disney. At least you will still visit with your DD! Sometimes trips like that are the best.

I'll be checking into the Contemporary Garden Wing in 3 days! We've never stayed there, I'm excited, and a little nervous. Quick question, can you refill your mugs anywhere other than Contempo Cafe in the main tower?

 

[SarahC97]

Just got back from a three night stay in the main tower theme park view. I was a little nervous because of some of the online reviews saying this hotel wasn't all that special. That was all bunk because this resort is totally special. We had an amazing time and really loved it. Plus we had a beautiful view - the best in Walt Disney World!

Does the 1 bedroom garden wing suite have 2 bathrooms.

 

[GreyStr0ke]

I've rented a cabana at the Contemporary two times in the past and each of those times we had an attendant take our orders and such. I just checked on the website and now it only lists attendants at Y&BC and GF. Has anyone rented one at Contemporary lately that can confirm you no longer have an attendant?

Lately for me was last fall, but there was an attendant at the time. The same attendant that would walk around the pool servicing all guests.

Last trip to CR for us was in March (no cabana that time) and I’m trying to remember if there was a pool attendant around. I’m pretty sure there was, but my memory is not screaming out that there was one either.

Hopefully someone with more recent experience will chime in.

Is there a direct boat from CR to WL? Going to the Snow White Dinner.

 

[Dave006]

Yes there is a resort launch that runs the Bay Lake loop between the CR, WL, FW and then back around to CR. Please note the boats don't run if there is lightning in the area.

And allow yourselves extra times - boats being boats - they can run behind.

One time we were an hour & a half late to Whispering Canyon Cafe because we had an ECV - and not all boats could support an ECV. We had to wait for a boat to take us over there. We were smart after dinner - made sure they radio'd ahead for our boat.

They still seated us though.

Nowadays - we could solve that problem by calling for a Minnie Handi Van

Hmmm....

While the style of the carpet, doors, patterns, door signs, etc looks awesome.... I'm not a fan of the Incredibles part of the themeing at all.

Please oh please let it just be some test that never gets beyond the research phase. Upgraded rooms and style, yes... Incredibles, no. Pretty please Disney.

(With apologies to the Incredibles fans, just would hate to see my beloved CR become an IP-driven theme)

I can't post the link here but I saw some pics of the outside and hallway of two "test rooms" they've evidently built at CR with an Incredibles theme. While the style of the carpet, doors, patterns, door signs, etc looks awesome.... I'm not a fan of the Incredibles part of the themeing at all.

I saw that too and it worried me since I've yet to stay here but I definitely didn't want an Incredibles overlay. I think that's the reason it's one of my favorite resorts to visit, the sophistication and modernism which I don't get when I think of the Incredibles.

Totally agree. Found a link I can post and edited mine above, for those curious what we're talking about.
