Disney's Contemporary Resort

I personally had a not up to par experience at the Contemporary resort. Besides the proximity to Magic Kingdom that’s the only perk. First, you’re paying $700+ a night for no microwaves in the room and fridge that is not cold enough to store milk. So, good luck feeding bottles to your baby without having to go downstairs every single time. Second, when my son contracted a stomach virus from the hotel- I know this because I saw several other kids puking in the lobby- I called the front desk overnight. After I asked for housekeeping, I asked for a small bottle of water and who I spoke with told me, “I don’t think we can do that.” Mind you my son threw up all over the carpet, floor, and all the way onto the mattress. Housekeeping at night brought sheets but did not put them on the bed and onl

The location is the main draw of this hotel, followed by the rooms. It is a really quick walk to the park, and the monorail back to the hotel is a quick one-stop that stops literally right inside the hotel. The rooms are extremely comfortable and spacious and the sound proofing is pretty good. The amenities are a little disappointing though - for that price point, I was hoping for at least some more premium amenities, but you're not getting anything different from the cheaper hotels. Nonetheless, we had a terrific stay and loved how we could see the park from the beds!

We loved the convenience of staying at the Contemporary for our 4 night/3 day stay. ||We would walk back from the Magic Kingdom every day around lunch to feed and nap our kids. Knowing we were never far away from our hotel was reassuring as well during our park days.||My Amazon and Instacart orders were both there when we got there which was perfect. My one complaint would be we asked for a quiet room and ended up high up (floor wise) but right above Chef Mickeys which did make a fair amount of noise. ||Overall great service and clean ⭐️

Positive: West Garden View to the Monorail takes 3 minutes and to the bus stop is 5 minutes. Great access to all the parks. Room and everything else is clean. Cafes, shops and convenience stores open late. Early access perk helps bag a few high demand rides. Negative: You can only get on the Monorail going in one direction, you have to ride the entire loop to the transfer station, Polynesian Resort, Grand Floridian before you get to the Magic Kingdom, so factor this into your timing.

Disney's Contemporary Resort Review Rating: ⭐⭐ — The Contemporary Has Lost Its Way Stay Date: February 2026 Cost: $1,272.48 (one night, after taxes and fees) ________________________________________ Review Text We just returned from a stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort (February 2026) and were shocked at how far this iconic property has fallen. Our single night cost $1,272.48 after taxes and fees. For that kind of money, you expect a world-class deluxe experience. What we got was far from it. Physical condition: The walls around the elevator banks are visibly smashed in and damaged. For a resort charging nearly $1,300 a night, this level of deferred maintenance is unacceptable. It gives the entire property a neglected, run-down feel that is completely at odds with the Disney standard we'
