I had a good stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to Magic Kingdom and right on the monorail line. I did find the architectural style a bit unusual for my taste, but I appreciated the cleanliness of the public areas. However, the service could use improvement as I faced long wait times when contacting the front desk. Overall, it was a nice experience! 🎆🏰

I had an amazing stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort, with the magic of fireworks views being a highlight. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, especially the housekeeping team, who quickly helped us when my little one had an accident. However, the pool was a bit chilly, and some lifeguards weren't as attentive later in the week, which was a little disappointing.

I had a fantastic stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort, enjoying the unbeatable location just a short walk from Magic Kingdom. The room was spacious and comfortable for my family, although I found the bathtub height quite challenging. While the food options were decent, prices felt a bit steep considering the average dining experience. Overall, it's a solid choice for park access, with some room for improvement in certain areas.

My stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort was a mixed bag. While the location and amenities like the monorail access were fantastic, I found the pool disappointing and lacked the luxurious feel I expected from a deluxe hotel. The staff, particularly those at the bell desk, were really good, but overall, the resort didn't quite match my expectations for a special Disney experience.
