Disney Contemporary Resort

The Disney Contemporary Resort has 655 rooms. They are found in 2 different buildings (and no, I'm not talking about the 2 parts of the tower as different buildings). The part of the resort the monorail goes through is called the Contemporary Tower. Next to the tower is the 3-story building that has 250 rooms. The rooms here are called the Garden Wings. (The North Garden Wing rooms were demolished and the brand new Bay Lake Villas took their place.)

The Contemporary has some rooms that have absolutely stunning views of the Magic Kingdom.

Views

All of the rooms at the resort come with one of 3 views -

• Magic Kingdom View - These are the top rooms in the hotel. From these rooms you have a great view of the Magic Kingdom. It's probably the best view of the Magic Kingdom anywhere. These are the most expensive rooms in the resort.
• Bay Lake View - Bay Lake is the body of water that is behind the Contemporary. These view look to the east and overlook the water.
• Garden View - Disney labels the rooms that don't have a special view as garden view rooms. This means you'll probably see grass (if you're lucky) and maybe a garden. Probably, your main view will be of a parking lot. These are the least expensive rooms in the resort.

Tower

The tower is the center of all the activity at the Contemporary. It's the part the monorail runs through. There are 15 (really only 9) floors of rooms. Guest rooms start on the 5th floor, and the 13th floor is mysteriously missing (as it is in most hotels).

Club Level

The top floor of the tower (the 15th floor) is the club level. The club floor is the concierge floor. This is the high rent district. There are several suites on this level. The services available to guests on this level include -

• Personalized front desk and concierge services
• Evening turndown service with chocolates
• Club Level Lounge - open from 7 am to 10 pm. Serves continental breakfast, midday snacks, evening wine and cheese, cordials and dessert

Garden Wing

The Garden Wing has several different kinds of rooms. There are the standard view rooms, the deluxe rooms (that have a view of water and have upgraded furnishings), and the garden view. Guests in the Garden Wing must go to the Tower for food and access to transportation. The rooms over here are not as convenient, but are usually cheaper, and somewhat quieter.

Dad's Bottom Line

There are lots of different room types at the Disney Contemporary Resort. You can take your pick. From a standard view Garden Wing room all the way to the $2000.00 per night Presidential Suite, there is something for everyone.

If there just wasn't so much concrete.
