KI/KD fan Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It is really nice to see this place finally getting some positive reviews. Everybody seems to have a problem with it in the Disney community. It's my favorite place to stay at WDW. Anyone taking a trip to WDW should consider the Contemporary Resort.

Raptor66 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've always loved taking the monorail through the resort whenever we went to the Magic Kingdom. I haven't been since 2004 and I really want to go back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Oh yes The Contemporary Resort at Disney World, I haft to agree that it is in need of a nice decorative face lift. Have said the location alone (very short walk to Magic Kingdom front gates) gives this resort a magical feel to it. In fact some of my most fond memories at Disney World has came from that resort and I have yet to stay over night there. The first was in 2006 when my family and I decided to take a boat from Fort Wilderness to the Contemporary Resort to watch a special firework show. When we got there 2-3 other families rushed up the dock to go inside the resort while we lingered on the dock literally all alone. Then we noticed someone coming down the dock towards us then my then 6 y/o daughter started screaming and running towards this person, it was her favorite childhood character Peter Pan. He walked with her talked to her and even watched the fireworks with her on the docks. I admit it still chokes me up thinking of that moment. The next treasured memory was last September my wife and I had a special Anniversary dinner on the top floor of the resort at a restaurant called California Grill. My Mother knew we were going there and had sent flowers ahead of time for us. Well the restaurant put us in a private room with the table setup with the flowers and other special materials overlooking Epcot in a distance. The waiter came by and introduced himself along with his assistant, they congratulated us on our anniversary then they both got on there knees to get eye level with us to talk about our likes in food and wine choices. They were superb. While we waited for our appetizers we watched EPCOT fireworks from our table then right before the main course was to come out our waiter and his assistant said they would like to take our picture to give us as a keep sake souvenir. They then said that they asked the chef to put our dinner on hold and invited us to go outside to view the Wishes Fireworks at Magic Kingdom from the roof of the Contemporary Resort. The way my wife and I where treated it felt like I was in on of those shows that highlights romantic places for couples. Oh what a memories, thanks Contemporary Resort Disney World.
