We had a lovely time at the Contemporary and I would recommend it
to anyone to stay there at least once. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
Closest hotel to the Magic Kingdom |
Room # and Location Description:
|
We were in building 7 on the 2nd floor across from the laundry room.
There were 2 queen beds, a table, sofa, and chair. Our room overlooked
part of the lake (to our left) and part of the courtyard (to our right). |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
Pro: Great view of the courtyard and water Con: Long walk to the
monorail and food court |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Check-in and check-out were very quick and easy |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
Taking the monorail back to the hotel in the evening was great (the
Contemporary is the first stop). However, we found it was easier to
walk to the Magic Kingdom rather than take the monorail because it
was faster (the Magic Kingdom is the last stop from the Contemporary). |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
We ate breakfast and a few other "quick" items at the food court.
There are not many tables to sit at, so we would usually just take
our food to go. The food court is also VERY LOUD, it is located right
next to the arcade. But the prices were not bad and the staff there
was always very friendly. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
Unfortunately, the main pool was closed for repairs while we were
there ( we were very disappointed!!) However, the smaller pool was
nice and there were 2 lifeguards watching constantly. My only complaint
would be that there were not enough chairs and tables for everyone
to sit at. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
If you are looking for convenience and are traveling with small
children or someone who is elderly, I would highly recommend this
resort because of its proximity to the Magic Kingdom. The rooms were
clean and roomy and the hotel staff is very friendly. However, if
you are looking for a more affordable Disney resort, I would recommend
one of the moderate or value resorts. |
