Great stay but no daily maid or room service
We really enjoyed our stay as it is a beautiful hotel, very clean rooms, excellent front desk service, convenient transportation system and good choice of places to eat. However, the one thing that needs improvement is daily housekeeping. I understand that they temporarily are not coming in to make your bed daily but should at least come in to empty trash daily and give us clean towels if needed. In the 6 days there, we only had someone come in once on day 2. I had to call down to ask them for fresh towels, toilet paper, etc. I had to empty my trash out in the hallway near elevators a few times. Also no room service yet.

timelessly Contemporary?
We had been a little hesitant about the Contemporary, because it seemed slightly dated and somewhat "corny", but we were so wrong! As most things Disney, things were generally over-the-top. Facilities were wonderful and clean, staff always gracious, friendly and helpful. Every request was fulfilled, and even undeclared needs (e.g., a loaner wheelchair) were addressed.
The hotel is pricey (not unexpected), but it has much to offer including easy (<10 minute walk) to the Magic Kingdom, obvious access to the monorail, which literally runs through the hotel building, and a WDW bus station just outside the door.
Dining options that we experienced ranged from (again) pricey and over-the-top to satisfying and reasonable.
This hotel was a real contributor to our now familiar Disney experience -- an almost overwhelming overall experience paired with a look ahead to the next visit.
When we first arrived we were greeted with the now familiar, "Welcome home", and it felt just right.

We loved our stay at the Contemporary Resort and we hope to be back there again soon. From the start, we were warmly welcomed and our bags were stored while we spent our first day in the Disney Parks. The app made it very convenient to unlock the door to our room, which was immaculate and beautifully decorated with an "Incredibles" theme that the children loved. The restaurants were delicious and so convenient and of course the monorails and buses whisked us back and forth to the parks. We accidentally left a few clothing items behind and, once again, the hotel made it very easy for us to claim the items and have them returned.

I stayed here as a kid and came back as an adult with my kid. It's been nicely renovated and the staff was lovely and the location cannot be beat. My only real complaint is the difficulty in being able to eat at the hotel restaurants. Like everything at Disney you have to make reservations waaay in advance, so if you like to keep some nights open, you're basically screwed. Couldn't even order take-out. I wish this would change at Disney. It's too much.

I love contemporary, but it has changed over the years. The rooms were very clean and nice and I had a nice lake view. The coffee pot broke the first time we used it but they gave us a nice brand new one. I’ve visited two or three times before in my life. There were some hindrances. 1.coffee shop closes at 1pm, and is hidden in a corner where no one would even know it is there. One of the check-in ladies happen to tell me about it. This is not good because I love to drink a latte around four or 5 o’clock. 2.dining options-you couldn’t get into any restaurant. There were no reservations or get in line available, and I am staying at this hotel- this was not good. Most of the restaurants were way, way over priced. We paid $89 each, plus drinks to eat on the 15th top floor and then watch the fireworks-way over priced and the food portions were very small. Most of the restaurants were not kid or budget friendly at all! There was one self-serve restaurant and another next to it where they eat with Mickey and you could not get into that one because they were booked! Overall, I still love this hotel and the monorail that goes right through it, but I wish they would change the restaurants and people who stay there should be able to get in immediately over people from other resorts or hotels.

The $850 CONtemporary
I stayed 2 nights at this hotel at over $850 a night.
While we were in the room, 4 times they came knocking at our door to fix a small maintenance door behind one of the beds. One of the times, they walked in on us with a skeleton key.
I told them to come back when we were out and they never did. They just kept coming back when we were there.
We returned from a day at Epcot, only to find all our dirty towels on the bathroom floor and our trash can still full from when we left early that morning.
I called to complain and was told, that because we stayed only 2 nights,, we only get room service every other night. At $850 a night, we get room service every other night. You read right.
After I slammed the phone I received a call telling me they would clean my room at that hour. It was 11:30 pm!!
I slammed the phone again.
And furthermore, When we got there, the room next door had placed 2 pizza boxes with leftover, half bitten pieces of pizza outside their room. We went hotel-hopping all day and returned at 8:30pm, to find the pizza "garbage" still there.
Additionally, I could go on about how "Mickey's cafe" only does self-phone ordering and you get your food in a box and they only have American Coffee. If you want espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc, you go 2 flights down and diagonally across the entire hotel. I did this, having a morning meltdown on zero caffeine. But I won't go about this. Oh wait, I already did… the Aggravation.

Unfortunately, room cleaning service was horrible. We had to call the front desk for towels and they never came to clean our rooms Very disappointed. Also for a Disney resort, I was very surprise on how dull, boring, and old it looked. Not appealing to the eyes at all. I will not stay at that hotel again.

The contemporary hotel was once a really nice hotel, now unfortunately it is extremely run down. The area where I stayed( which is the only one of two that are open, the garden pavilion) honestly feels like a motel. I was extremely surprised that I paid $500 to stay in a run down annex of the main hotel for one night. Not worth it at all. The photos were very misleading but I wanted an extra day in Disney so that’s why I did it. The rooms are ok but the building, hallways, elevators and everything else felt dirty and old.

Our stay at the Contemporary Resort was absolutely magical! We were at the far end of the Garden Wing which we found to be quiet, and despite what others might say, is only a short walk to the amenities of the main building. The room was very nice, and the bedding was great. We are at the resort twice (fine dining and quick service) and all of the food was excellently prepared. The convenience of the bus transport alone was worth the added price. Everything was quick and at our fingertips. We never needed for anything while we were there! Disney resorts are expensive, but we found the perks to absolutely be worth it! And that’s even towards the end of COVID, when all of the amenities weren’t even available. Would highly recommend, especially for all adult parties of Disney lovers. Great honeymoon!

I loved staying at the Contemporary for the ease of transportation. The Wave was exceptional and we rented a cabana which was wonderful.
The biggest things I didn’t like about my trip had nothing to do with the hotel. First of all, I had to wait 45-60 minutes in a line to go into any Disney store to spend money! You cannot do anything on the Disney property anywhere without advance reservation even counter service you have to do mobile ordering.
My beef at the moment is with Expedia who is now trying to process my trip again, after the trip and have me pay again, which is leaving an awful bitter taste!!

Great Resort for Disney with Young Kids
The hotel was impeccably clean and constantly sanitized. The beds were not overly comfortable, but fair enough. The proximity to Magic Kingdom and being able to utilize the monorail system was the best part for us. Not having to wait for a bus to travel between parks was very convenient - especially with young children. We dined at some of the restaurants in the hotel and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Service at the Outer Rim, although slow, was friendly and pleasant. The pool and waterpark was a great break from the parks with the kids!

Not worth the money. I booked a garden room, when I saw it we made the long walk back to the desk to change rooms. I had to pay a large additional fee to change the room to the main building. The room was the exact same dated room. No USB port anywhere in room. Sticky old dark carpet. Small bathroom. Old dated tub. No counter space. The pool sandbar only serves beer and wine.

The Contemporary is beautiful and a really awesome hotel. When we arrived, we were told that we would be staying in the "Garen" section, which i snot actually in the master or Main building. This was never relayed and after a lot of complaining and having to sacrifice one of the two nights we stayed, I made it into the main hotel. Very sad. Disney has the nerve to charge 25 bucks each day for parking in the hotel you paid for! Can you imagine? Property is beautiful but check, and double-check all fees and that you are staying in the CONTEMPORARY and not some "Garden or WIng!" Unfair! Very Hard Earned cash not met with fair or common practices.

Check Disney's Ridiculous Mask Requirements 1st
Do not come to Disney until Covid is over. The staff at the parks and the Contemporary Resort are rude and they harass you about wearing your mask completely covering your entire nose. If it slips down toward the bottom of your nose even a little, they say something. You can't take your mask off to talk on your phone, take pictures or even just to take a break and breath. You can only wear one type of mask and no other, so if you have a mask approved by the rest of the world and it's comfortable and allows you to breath ok, Disney forces you to wear theirs or you have to leave.
The parks and this hotel are suffering low attendance, probably because their mask policy sucks, which meant the park and hotel were pretty empty. Despite this, the ticket prices to Magic Kingdom and room rates are still the same as well as the lines for the rides. The social distancing coupled with allowing only 1/2 to even 1/4 capacity on every ride causes the lines to be as long as when the park is at full capacity. To top it all off, the hours have been reduced.
Do yourself a favor and go to any other amusement park or wait until things go back to normal or you will be frustrated.
