When
we first went to Disney as a child in 1974, we knew where we wanted to stay.
The Contemporary Resort even today commands quite a presence. Modularly
constructed, it towers above the nearby Magic Kingdom and inspires the
forward thinking vision of Walt Disney. The giant 15 story A frame center
piece of the hotel complex has the monorail system buzzing through just
above the 4th level concourse. Take a step back and soak in all there is to
see in it's majestic lobby. The resort features 1,041 rooms, six shops, two
snack bars, a marina, beach, large pool and much more. Don't miss dining on
the 15th floor California Grill Lounge or the fun of the first floor Food
and Fun Center.
