Haven’t been to Disney in over 20 years...
The hotel is in a very convenient location however be prepared for a very long bus ride to any restaurant to downtown Disney- the hotel concierge made us reservations and said, "it’s only 2 stops away." This is about a half hour ride. Also, Disney is great if you have kids and don’t care if you are not looking your best due to the intense heat of central Florida as well as the numerous rides that soak you from head to toe and I mean soaked, sticky and sweaty. The humidity is so high that you don’t dry off and need a pit stop to change so carry an extra pair of clothes or get a "park hop" ticket to go back to your room to change. The food was decent every place we ate and the room was large, clean and comfortable. The services are not up to my standards- maybe I’m spoiled but I felt there was a lack of genuine hospitality and was a bit like a cattle call. Also, I don’t appreciate being nickeled and dimed to death. It’s very expensive for what you get and I’m used to the high cost of living in Manhattan. Two people could easily spend $1000.00 a day for screaming misbehaved kids and their parents.
The animal kingdom was excellent

Luxurious hotel
Modern decor, marble bathroom, very attractive setting, convenient to monorail. Bathroom could, however, use more shelf space -- large square sinks are impractical and limit storage areas.

Love this hotel!!
We have stayed at the Contemporary before so we somewhat knew what to expect. The prices are expensive, so if we stay here is it usually only for one night. The convenience of having the monorail inside the hotel is a major plus and one of the reasons we have chosen this hotel in the past. The first time we stayed at the Contemporary was because we were visiting The Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Christmas event with my then 2 year old. This time we were visiting for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween event with my now 4 year old. At the time of check in, the was a slight wait at the counter. One of the gentlemen that were working the line came up to me and offered to check us in himself. Not only was he very quick and courteous, but he was able to upgrade our room to face the Disney castle, so that my 4 year old could get the full experience. The room was very spacious and clean. The hotel also has several places to eat, even when getting back from the parks after midnight. We will definitely stay here again, even if it is for just one night at a time.
