Complimentary Wi-Fi service is now available in all Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Guests will now be able to access complimentary Wi-Fi in their rooms as well as in select common areas within the resort hotel, including restaurant locations, bus load zones, feature pools, arcades, convention spaces (if applicable) and the porte cochere.
Disney Hotel Resort guests also enjoy their Extra Magic Hours Benefit. On select days, Disney Resort hotel guests can enter a Disney Theme Park an hour early-and on select evenings, enjoy a Park up to two hours after regular closing time. That's when lines may be shorter and the weather can be more comfortable. Guests have time for a midday break or a dip in the pool. Then the gang will be ready to head back to the same Theme Park for more fun! Don't forget your Magic Your Way Tickets with Park Hopper Option! The Park Hopper option is the only way you will be able to fully enjoy the Extra Magic Hours Benefit when the extra hours in the morning is a different Disney theme park than the extra hours in the evening.
Disney Hotel Resort guests receive complimentary Disney's Magical Express Service for roundtrip airport shuttle from Orlando International Airport, luggage delivery and airline check in*. To book Disney's Magical Express Service visit Disney's Magical Express Service Web site at www.disneysmagicalexpress.com/US to register once you have completed your booking.

Lovely but a tad expensive
Loved the property. Had great Monorail service to all the parks. Only complaint was it was a good 10 minute hike to get to our room in another building, and their numbering system was very confusing.

For our 2- and 4-year-old grandchildren, it was easy to go to a la carte cafe on third level. They were very happy with their dinner selections and it was easy on us.

Fun family time
We went for the marathon, it was very convenient to get to places. Restaurants at hotel had good service and delicious food. The light show on the lake in front of the hotel each evening at 10:10 should be earlier for the sake of children to see and runners who went to bed early the nights before the marathon. Runners who want quiet should ask for the side convention building. Pool noise also echoed up to our room on the 6th floor at night. So we might try the other building next visit, but you can't beat the beautiful view over the lake from our room. We could easily take the monorail to the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian for breakfasts, which is what we did. And took the boats to Wilderness Lodge for a dinner. Note: Whispering Canyon Cafe is far from quiet, lots of noise, encourages kids to scream and run around, have stick horse races during dinner and the waiters scream across the room for ketchup, etc, that's part of their act. But if you taught your kids to not scream indoors or run around during dinner, you might want to skip this restaurant or bring earplugs (will use those for the very loud music in the park parades too). We had a great time at Disney World, always do.

Disneyworld for one night
This Contemporary resort is a great hotel. I stayed there 30 years ago and it was just as good this time. It is a great location, especially if you only have one night because you can hop on the monorail to go back to the hotel, eat, change and go back to the park for fireworkds and parades.

Great location
The location can't be beat! We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We had our breakfast at Chef Mickey's. My four year old had a great time meeting Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto. Overall, great experience!

Disappointed Steve
Unimpressed
I had heard many wonderful things about staying at Disney properties. Our stay at the Contemporary Resort did not meet expectations. Wear and tear in busy hotel is normal. That said the room needed to be vacuumed and the bathroom was dirty, for the price we paid we expected better. The pool also looked dirty.

Stay at Disney's Contemporary, Orlando,
The stay was an average. Excellent reception and convenient location but an old facility and the cost are exceeding the return.

Extremely convenient to Magic Kingdom
Proximity to Magic Kingdom (8-10 minute walk) made all the difference, especially when the park was closing and we didn't have to fight the crowds to take the monorail or buses to get there/back. Food was decent, shopping at the hotel was also convenient and the pool/beach was well maintained.

In Hotel
A good deal of the things that were sold at the park were also available in the hotel. It make picking up gifts pretty convenient, and we were even able to return a couple of things at the hotel store that we had purchased at the park and turned out to not be as advertised.

Loved it - Great buy through [...]!
We were in a beautiful ground level room with views of the pool and lake. While there we enjoyed a day at the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom! This hotel is so comfortable and has great amenities - catching the monorail from the hotel is so convenient and fun. The [...]price made it a great value - Thank you!
