This was my first visit - WOW! A hotel with a monorail through it, you got me! Ok, arrival, easy! My bus dropped me off, no waiting at the desk, checked in, visited my room (I asked for a lakeside) WOW. Room was modern I couldn't have asked for more. I had a room on level 4 (but you press "5" on the lift to get to level four (?) I didn't hear the monorail at all, but saw it come and go. There are great selections of food right at the resort from fine dinning to cafe and bar. Some great gift shopping too. The cafe has a great selection of salads for meals which was important to me. Room has USB and USBc recharge availablity and I asked for standard card to access my room (I saw some people using their phone etc). The only thing that caught me out (my fault) was that after a day in the park, staying late (cause you can as a Disney hotel guest), I assumed something would be open back at the hotel for a night cap. Nada. So plan ahead if you like a drink after the park!

We are a family of 5 and stayed the in garden section of the hotel (not the main hotel not the villas). The garden section has it own parking lot which is very convenient. We loved our room and enjoyed the Incredibles theming. We walked to Magic Kingdom (maybe 7 minutes) and did the monorail for Epcot. No issues at all. We ate in the Contempo Cafe and that was really good, plenty of seating. Pool was great and they provide the pool towels. Bar drinks are good but pricey. Enjoyed our stay and we definitely will return to the Contemporary in the future!

Unfortunately we had a bad experience at Contemporary that I have to share just as a warning to others. Let me start by saying we have been coming to this hotel for years. We have always loved the location and the atmosphere. But on our current visit we have had a lot of complaints. First, of all we booked a lake view room way in advance and upon arriving they had none available. Then we go to our room and it was dirty and run down.it was also by the elevator on the 6th floor. If anyone is familiar with this resort you know this floor is directly above the monorail and is loud. When we told them we were unhappy with the location and state of the room the service team and admin team couldn’t be bothered. Through numerous attempts to speak with them there was no resolution or accountability for their mistakes and misplacement of our reservation. We will never go back!

When staying at the contemporary resort, it was an amazing stay. The room was comfy and relaxing, perfect for a night’s stay after a long day at Epcot park. At the end of our stay, I personally thought I had packed everything I needed. I found out I left two apparel items that were super valuable to me after finding a package on my door step of the items from the Contemporary Resort. Huge thanks to the hotel staff, the next time I am in Disney I will keep this hotel in mind.

Arrived at Contemporary early before our room was ready. Javon at bell services got us squared away with a great smile and attitude!
