Disney's Contemporary Resort

We were disappointed in the size of the room for four people. We have stayed at Marriott Hotels and Hyatt Hotels that have a sitting room with the bedroom area for four persons. Both the Marriott and Hyatt were half the price. Of course, I know because it is a Disney Resort the hotels are more expensive. But for the price the space was quite small and […] we had to call for more towels (two hand towels for four people) and the maid did not leave any Kleenex when the box was empty. I expected more from a Disney property. In my opinion, the pool could also have been better maintained. Read more

Great stay at the contemporary resort. The hotel rate from hotels.com could not be beat. The location of the resort is so convenient. Good food options and heated pool is a plus. I will never stay anywhere else. I recommend you request a high floor, magic kingdom view. You an watch wishes fireworks and water parade from your balcony. Epcot is a short […] monorail ride and a five minute walk to magic kingdom from hotel. Thanks hotels.com for a great stay. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Despite it's being not as contemporary as when it was first built, Disney Contemporary Resort Hotel remains an excellent place to spend a vacation! You especially can't beat the convenience of the monorail running through the hotel, or the ability to walk to and from the Magic Kingdom if you wish (especially helpful if leaving right after the fireworks, […] when the monorail station is mobbed!). Staff are courteous and friendly, too. Read more

The hotel was very nice, but very crowded. Some people seem to let their children run unattended. Maybe that is their Disney Magic. We like it a little quiter.

A little more tired than what we were expecting for the price.

Too expensive ... For what we got. A cockroach in the bathroom and a very dirty carpet

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great hotel, location (monorail a huge plus) and facilities. Expensive, but with a significant problem with dining options. first of all, not many options aside of burgers and pizza. second, If u don't book dinner/breakfast reservations with months in advance u won't dine with the characters. Staff used to be friendlier All in all, still a good place, […] but plan ahead! Read more

Very nice hotel. Staff was wonderful. Convenient to parks. Very expensive.....

Genuine Expedia guest review

We love being able to jump on the monorail. Front desk is very, very helpful. Only downside was the ridiculous 55 minute bus ride to the Animal Kingdom, only a few miles away. We had our car--I would gladly have driven to the park myself and paid $14 to park to save that hour.

We were very impressed with the room and the service and especially our comfort of the bed. The pillows and the detail to our room every day after they cleaned it was magnificent.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The customer service from the bell captains, to front desk, to greeters, to restaurant staff, was extremely friendly and helpful. Loved having the monorail go through the hotel. My room was on the 10th floor with a view of the lake and swimming pool. Decor of the room was beautiful. My only complaint, I needed to get to the Animal Kingdom fast for a […] tour. When I asked if there was any other way to get there besides the bus, the bellboy did not mention taking the monorail, only a taxi. I highly recommend staying here. Read more

Everything was wonderful, other than the cleanliness of the room. Needed to be dusted, hairs stuck on the shower walls, a spider on the bed! Disney should spend just as much on the interior rooms as they do on the exterior hallways etc, they do not.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I have been to this hotel many times. The staff is very friendly and courteous. We have had great service in the wave for breakfast and the cleanliness from your hospitality personnel was excellent. I would always recommend this hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

One could always expect above normal from Disney, sadly that is long gone. Way too much money for what you get.

Genuine Expedia guest review

we loved the proximity to the Magic Kingdom, but found the Contemporary a bit out of touch with the modern world of today...maybe it was the modern world of 40 yrs ago (as I remember it) but the other hotels in the area such as the Grand Floridian and the Polynesian seem to have much more to offer at least in the lobby area....we hope the food also […] improves at The Wave...and that there are more eating options. Other than that we LOVED the friendly and helpful staff, and our room with a view of Cinderella's Castle was the best. Overall it was a great choice for us and our 5yr old princess! Read more

Loved this hotel! It was so nice to have the monorail right where we were staying! The pool is nice and the restaurants are great!

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you're visiting the Magic Kingdom , the Contemporary is a perfect spot to stay. Luxury hotel a stone's throw away from all the magic. Our room overlooked the water with boats going by all day, as well as the night boat parade. Nice pool, good restaurants right in the hotel.

The Contemporary Hotel has an excellent pool area with free boat rides on the lake. It's within walking distance to the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. Viewing the fireworks from the fourth floor outdoor viewing area, along with the narration and music, was fantastic.

The hotel was amazing! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Everything was clean. The view from the balcony can't be beat!! We loved everything about it!

Absolutely flawless hotel experience. Great customer service, pampering, etc. Has sort of an urban flair and feel to it, so if you prefer a more "natural environment" may not be for you. On the other hand, the pool area is beautiful and not crowded with a ton of screaming kids, like so many of the other Disney resort hotels (The Polynesian comes to […] mind). Also, this hotel is walkable to the Magic Kingdom, which was very useful and quite a nice change from the monorail/bus system. Read more

It was wonderful. We watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks show from the display area one night. Transportation is great with the tram. We took the tram to transportation central once and took the boat to Magic Kingdom, my daughter and I enjoyed that. The staff was great and friendly. Great place and we will stay there next time.

Great hotel, very convenient to THE MAGIC KINGDON. Super expensive, and I am not sure the convenience is worth the high price. We stayed in one of the Garden Rooms as opposed to the main tower, and it was a loooong walk from the main lobby, restaurants, and monorail. I didn't realize how far this room was when I booked the reservation, it would have […] been better to stay in the main tower. The best part was that with small children, it was easy to take a quick break from The Magic Kingdom, and hop on the monorail to cool off and relax at the pool for a few hours. Read more

This is a great hotel with the amenties offered and the convenience to the Disney parks. The biggest downside to our stay was the noise level. We were on the 9th floor and could still hear the Chef Mickeys celebrations past 11 at night and they start again at 7 in the morning. I would request a room far from that end of the tower in the future.

My room was too far away, but everything else was great.

My family has stayed in the Tower at this resort for eight years, and dreams did come true! This year, the concierge was horribly rude, our room had no heat, the television did not work. The maintenence guys were very nice! We were not offered another room at any time. The monorail was not up and running for early park hours because of the cold weather. […] We "wasted" lots of money this year. We will not be staying here again. Read more

We were pleasantly surprised at how lovely the hotel was. Our room was in the garden side and quite a long walk but was very quiet and modern. You have to walk outside to get there, which gave us the opportunity to checkout the weather each morning on our way to breakfast. We had dinner at the California Grille while enjoying the fireworks from our […] table. Rent the little boats and buzz around the 2 lagoons... so much fun! We did not use the pool or beach area due to the short time of our visit but both were well maintained. We wish we had more time to just relax by the pool/beach. Read more

Service is terrible. Took 4 hours to get my room after checking in and my wife and I checked in at a time that was not busy at all. Guaranteed check in by 3pm turned out to be 5pm. Vending machines eat your money and we had to tell hotel a number of times to put an out of order sign on it. Everyone was losing their 3 dollars when trying to buy a coke. […] They didn't want to bring us a new coke, but instead, said we should come to the front desk and they would give us 3 dollars. People at front desk are always different so if you have a situation, you have to re-explain everything again and again and hope the new person understands. Room was dusty but clean other than that. Location is great. We could see the nightly fireworks and light shows on the water easily not just from our balcony, but from our bed too. Without this, overall rating would have been very negative. Convenient hotel with monorail going through it. Elevators are so slow and sometimes you have to wait a few different elevators before getting in. And like I said, this was the offseason! Overall, for the money, probably not worth it. Grand Floridian was so much nicer...the best! I also loved Wilderness Lodge and the Boardwalk area. So cool! People staying at the Contemporary were pushy and rude for the most part. No manners and selfish. Contemporary is expensive, so for the money, just stay somewhere else. Read more

We just returned from the most amazing Disney vacation! I remember staying at the Contemporary as a child and was so excited to give my children their own wonderful memories of the best family vacation ever. The monorail is so convenient with small children, when returning from the park with tired kids the Contemporary is the first stop on the way so […] you hop on and are at your hotel in minutes! While it is more costly to stay at a Deluxe Disney Resort, for your first time I would highly recommend it. Also, there are a few places that will deliver groceries to your hotel and the bell stand will refrigerate them until your arrival. I ordered groceries the week to arrive the same day we did and took bowls, spoons, cups and we were able to eat in our room, save time and money and be out the door in no time. Read more

Great hotel with exceptionally easy access to Disney (via monorail, water taxi or by foot). Rooftop dining was pricey but had a great view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks display - get there early. Lots for the kids to do and see. i highly recommend this hotel.
