This was our 8th time staying at Contemporary while visiting Disney World. All I can say is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The walk to Magic Kingdom is about 9 minutes (no joke) and the monorail gets you to MK, Floridian or Poly. You can also take it to transfer station to get to Epcot. The pool here is awesome and they... More

Nice Disney hotel, but very dated and very expensive. Need to knock it down, honestly and rebuild it, new. Pool was ok, beach is deserted and nothing to write home about. concrete hotel in and out, reminded me of 'its a small world'. Nice, but old fashioned (for a Contemporary). Modern and cold

Great stay, friendly staff. We arrived a couple of hours before check in, but our room was ready so let us go on up. Had a tower room with theme park view and the view was amazing! Very convenient location, especially with small children. If you have kids, try Chef Mickey's; Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy come to your... More

There is a reason you pay a bit more for this hotel . . .LOCATION. You really can't beat it when it comes to transportation options. Short walk to the Magic Kingdom is such a time-saver, especially during crowded times. Monorail to Epcot, transportation center. Staff is really exceptional here. Rooms are huge by Disney standards, and very modern. Bathrooms... More

Came here with family who was attending a business event. The room was well-sized for 3 adults and 1 child however the storage space in the bathroom was not!! I appreciate the contemporary design of the sinks but they are huge space hogs! A couple inches of counter space was all we had. For being so close to Magic Kingdom... More

Contemporary My husband and I took our 5 ½ year old daughter to Disney World May 6-12 for her “big trip” before she starts kindergarten in the fall. We were excited to stay at the Contemporary as I have heard great things about it. Overall, I liked that it was “nice enough”, but not “too nice” (i.e. Grand Floridian) where... More

Way back when - a room here was less than $100. Now the cost is significantly higher, however, it is just a short walk from the Magic Kingdom, Bay Lake is just out the back door and the services are everything you would, or would want to expect. The rooms are large, reflecting the 1970s hotel and Disney has maintained... More

This resort is within easy walking distance from the Magic Kingdom. In fact, walking is faster than their monorail service, at least on the way there (if you get on the monorail at this resort, the MK is the third stop; from the MK, this resort is the first stop). You still need the monorail to get to Epcot, Animal... More

The cast member working at the Contemporary were at the top of their game this trip. I have stayed at this resort about four times in the last few years as a judge with an academic competition. Over that amount of time I have not been dissatisfied with my stays. The location does get a little noisy in the morning... More
