Nice family hotel for Disney trip but locks you into Disney sites
nathan v (perth) on Jan 11, 2025
We had a family of 5 trip to Disney last week. The disneyworld resort is gigantic, set on 40 square miles or something so once you enter the area, its different to Disneyland in LA or Universal. Getting access to anything besides the Disney complex is a 10-15minute taxi ride so you are sort of locked in (with their prices). But, if you want to commute into the fun parks it would be a nuisance for many reasons - distance, parking, and less perks of being at the Disney hotel. The Contemporary was a good hotel. Check in was reasonable, room access isn't overly difficult. There is a newer wing attached to the hotel which is fully enclosed. We were in the original area and the room was nice. Clean, spacious, beds elevated so you can push cases under them (very helpful with 5 in a room). Fold out couch was fine. Bathroom was spacious. TV channels fine and AC quiet and functional. In our southern wing, we did look onto a delivery area, but it wasn't really an issue. The pool was heated and had a jacuzzi which was nice, it also had a good length slide. The food scenario was a bit costly for their restaurants and this is the tradeoff for staying in the resort, you cant just head out like if you stayed at a universal resort you get a 5 minute taxi to many restaurants. You can take the free bus or 25 dollar Uber to Disney springs which has a lot of restaurants at a better price (Italian, asian, 'US'...) and many other shops. Disney Springs is the best option for dinner I think and a 20 minute bus ride right from the hotel grounds. Note that one night (its winter remember so I think down season), it was so busy here it was hard to get in anywhere despite there being 20+ restaurants. Breakfast at the hotel in the contempo cafe was ok. There is only so many fried breakfasts we can handle and once exceeded, you are sort of stuck with them as noted for the above reason. there are a few shops on the cafe level and one sells drinks and simple supplies which is good. They sell bagels and things but your room doesnt have a toaster, so we just used the one in the cafe! If you buy a refillable cup there you can keep topping this thing up for $20 bucks during your stay including tea/coffee and soft drinks. A good idea if there for more than 2 days. You can walk to Magic Kingdom, or take the monorail which is the best option. The monorail is very helpful, and leaves from the hotel foyer which is great. To get to Epcot, you just swap to the other monorail line. For Hollywood studios you have to take the Disney bus free of charge from the hotel grounds. I cant really compare the other Disney hotels on this loop (Polynesian, Grand Floridian) although they looked tidy on the monorail loop. Those two also have ferry rides to magic kingdom which Contemporary doesnt. At the contemporary you can hire a pontoon boat $50/half hour which would have been good but we were time poor. Overall happy with this hotel although the locked in aspect of Disney is the tradeoff. If heading to Universal, I would stay at one of their hotels for that part of the holiday otherwise its a bit annoying commuting, or coming and going from the parks.
Not what we hoped for

We've stayed at All-Star and Port Orleans Riverside previously, and decided to spend the extra $$ to try a deluxe hotel now that the kids are a little older and we can enjoy the perks. We regret it. From the first moment, we were informed there were no bell carts to help us with our grocery order upon arrival. Are you kidding me? Top Tier level hotel at DISNEY and no one knows where the luggage carts are? We were stranded in the lobby with bags like we were trash off the street. The front desk didn't realize that I needed to be present with my ID to claim my order because it had alcohol. And then argued with me that I was wrong. I've done this before, but I guess I'll do your job for you. This was our first day, and it felt like the staff's first day too. The hours for the pool and pool bar change constantly with no notice. You get your whole family ready to use the hot tub after a long day at the park to find it closed early. No postings anywhere. The weather was cold, so I get they don't want to pay life guards for nothing, but we paid for a pool and we're going to use it. The Cafe is open late which is nice, but the menu is limited and somehow worse than the All Star cafeteria? I think they want guests to buy the character buffet at Chef Mickeys, so they intentionally make the quick service mid level. Room was OK, but nothing luxurious so check out the layout ahead of time so you're not unpleasantly surprised. The pocket doors in the bathroom stick and will cut off your finger if you're not careful. They advertise the monorail as the highlight, but it had delays and closures while we stayed so we took a lot of buses anyway. When it was operating, we were usually stuck standing for the 20 minute ride in overcrowded cars. Again, could've done that on the All Star bus for a third of the price. If this is the way Disney service is headed, this might be the end of the road for us.
