Close to the Action & Great Service: A Real Winner!!! - user review This is by far my favorite hotel in the area in and around Walt Disney World.

Convenient Location - user review Although it is named the Contemporary, it is a pretty old hotel and while it is well maintained it is starting to show its age.

Not Impressed - user review Considering that we were staying at a Disney Property, it wasn't as clean as one would expect.

Will probably stay there again - user review The Contemporary hotel (tower) rooms were very spacious for the 3 of us (2 adults and a 3 year old) it would be comfortable for a family of 4 or possibly 5 since it also had the day bed.

Pricey for what you get - user review The Contemporary is one of the oldest of Disney's luxury resorts and is lacking features/amenities or more modern resorts.

Less than magical: Disney´s Contemporary - user review I have stayed at the Contemporary in the past, and returned for 5 nights in April.

Overpriced hotel - user review I stayed here with my husband, my mother, and daughter. We chose this because my mon is almost 66 years old and this hotel was connected to the monorail.

Not that Contemporary any longer - user review My wife and I stayed there recently and while we loved the location and ability to hop on the monorail inside the building, we were struck at how outdated the Contemporary is.

Disneys Contemporary Resort: On the Monorail - user review Because the hotel listings are restricted to those places which actually are IN the place, the Disney hotels which are not actually in Orlando but in Lake Buena Vista aren't included.
