We stayed there in October....great experience. Didn't know what I was getting into at first (tagged along with my husband on a convention). Brought along our 2 1/2 year old. Gave him a "1st time button" with his name on it....everyone said hello. Lots of stickers. Didn't have reservations at Chef Mickey's (and couldn't get one)...but the front desk just... More

Everything smells like dirty diapers! Online checking is useless.screaming kids all over the place. The bus rides are long and take forever! Room are small and outdated. I would recommend staying outside the Disney relm and rent a car!! More

Enjoyed staying in a renovated room overlooking Bay Lake---Concierge very helpful--10 minute walk to Magic Kingdom very convenient--The Wave restaurant in the hoterl had good food and decent service. To avoid the crowds --book your stay m-fri. Weather is in low to mid 70's in February and is perfect for spending a day in the Parks. Always book your Character... More

Had a terrible time at the Contemporary and our complaints have been met with a polite so what by Disney. Shame on them. Our room had stained carpet that was held down with duct tape. Yes, duct tape, at this 'premiere' resort. We were told by the front desk that our room should never have 'passed inspection' but no one... More

This was our second stay at the Contemporary Hotel and much better the second time around. We had a view of the Magic Kingdom so were able to see the fireworks from our room--it was spectacular. Our room was very clean and near the end of the hall, away from elevators so it was quieter than most of our other... More

I stayed at the Contemporary Resort in January and it was amazing, fantastic and a dream vacation! However, when I first booked it; I booked the Garden wing for a reasonable amount...then I read these reviews and got nervous. I called and upgraded to Magic Kingdom view 8th floor in main building for $500 more and it was worth every... More

My husband and I spent a long weekend (1/27-1/30) at Disneys Contemporary Resort and had a wonderful time. Our planning started with the help of Lynda Hower from Dream Makers Vacation Services. She was awesome to work with. We gave her our "wish list" (desired hotel, room type etc) and she made it happen. She even made our dining reservations... More

It was my first trip to Disney, and my husband's second since he was a child. We chose the Contemporary because of the convenient monorail access and balconies facing the Magic Kingdom. We booked a Club Level suite on the twelfth floor for Friday January 20-Sunday January 22. The hotel is modern and immaculately clean (well, more on that later).... More

I have been to Disneyworld in Florida over 10 times, and have stayed at the Polynesian, the Floridian, the Beach Club, and the Contemporary. The Contemporary is my new favorite place to stay. I love that it is in walking distance to the Magic Kingdom. You can walk to the Magic Kingdom in just about ten minutes or less, and... More

Well, you just can't have a better location. Yes, the hotel is old, built in the early 70's. It ins in good condition for its age. My real issue is with the Concierge staffing. I made one simple request today or I should say I tried. I simply wanted the concierge to change my dinner location or see if he... More
