From the dramatic mosaics in the main tower with
sleek monorails cruising overhead, to the casual style and convenience of Garden Rooms looking out over the beach, this is
one Disney experience that’s not to be missed. The bold, A-frame design of Disney's Contemporary Resort has made it a modern masterpiece, with a breathtaking
view of the vacation kingdom from the award-winning California Grill, perched high atop the resort.
With a name that befits its architecture, Disney's
Contemporary Resort offers Walt Disney World guests the convenience of staying "next door" to the Magic Kingdom in the comfort
of one of Disney's deluxe resorts.
Rising 14 stories from the shores of Bay Lake and
Seven Seas Lagoon with its familiar A-frame design, the resort is a 1,008-room modernistic marvel complete with a 90,000-square-foot
convention center, three full-service restaurants, tennis center, marina and three swimming pools.
For convenience, the Walt Disney World monorail
makes a stop inside the resort thanks to the monorail beam that extends through the center of the A-frame -- whisking passengers
to the adjacent Magic Kingdom or other Walt Disney World Resort attractions via the nearby Disney Transportation and Ticket
Center.
Contemporary Construction
One of two Disney resort hotels that opened with the Magic Kingdom in 1971, Disney's Contemporary Resort was built on a
55-acre site adjacent to the Magic Kingdom. Living up to its modern style, the hotel was constructed by methods that were
ahead of their time.
While the hotel's steel skeleton was being constructed at the site, individual rooms were being built and finished at Walt
Disney World on an "assembly line" with workers completing 15 units per day. As each room passed through the specially constructed
building, the electrical, mechanical and plumbing facilities were added piece by piece.
Once furnished, the nine-ton guestrooms were trucked to the site, lifted by crane and slid into the steel structure --
much like an oversized set of dresser drawers. The entire structure was then covered by specially designed, sun-resistant
glass.
Treat yourself to a vacation getaway that reflects
the legacy of Walt Disney's monumental vision. Step off the monorail into a gleaming metropolis exploding with bold colors
and daring angles in a dazzling lakeside environment. Experience sweeping views, white-sand beaches, wide-open spaces and
sensational style in this stunning Resort that offers every modern convenience and easy access to the Magic Kingdom® Park
and Epcot®.
Enjoy accommodations in a dazzling lakeside environment. As monorails breeze
quietly through the lobby, you're reminded that the Magic Kingdom® Park is just moments away. This Deluxe Hotel features a
pool area, white-sand beach, and a complete array of dining and recreational options.
A Deluxe category resort, Disney's Contemporary Resort
is situated on the Seven Seas Lagoon, close the Magic Kingdom® Park. In fact, many rooms have views
of the Magic Kingdom® and its nightly fireworks displays. The Contemporary was one of the three original
accommodation choices when Walt Disney World® first opened its doors in 1972, with Disney's Polynesian Resort and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. The monorail, which takes guests directly to the Magic
Kingdom® Park as well as the other resorts on the Resort Monorail, passes right through the hotel.
The 1,008 rooms at Disney's Contemporary Resort
are either in the main Tower or in one of the Garden Wings. The resort is a "futuristic" style, reminiscent of 1970s and 80s
style space age furnishings. Many rooms have balconies or patios.
Check-In is at 3PM and Check-out is at 11AM.
If arriving earlier than 3PM, you may go ahead and "check-in". A room will be assigned, and you will be given a Key (card) with a phone number to call after 3PM to get your room number. You can leave your luggage
with the Bell Service, they will store it until your room is ready. And your free to go ahead and start enjoying the Parks.
