Walt Disney World, Orlando

5 stars

The closest hotel to the Magic Kingdom Park is the height of retro, '70s cool. The monorail enters the lobby through a 'curtain' of air to drop off and pick up. The stylish, gourmet 15th-floor California Grill restaurant offers incredible bird's-eye views over the Magic Kingdom Park (perfect for the evening fireworks), or you can meet your favourite characters in Chef Mickey's Restaurant. If you're not at the park during the day, there's a big swimming pool, tennis courts and even the option of renting a boat and cruising around Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon - and come the end of the day, tired parents can revive themselves in the cocktail lounge.

“Wonderful way....”

Jan 26, 2026RICART75

During our annual exploration of the Disney bubble's holiday transformation; we again visited the Contemporary, a couple of times. Since the Grand Floridian skipped creating a gingerbread house this season; it was nice to see the offering here. We also, once again, enjoyed viewing the Magic Kingdom fireworks; from the balcony, under the monorail. As varied as are the Disney resorts; so are their approaches to decorating themselves for the season. We've found visiting each, is a wonderful way to immerse oneself into the Xmas spirit/aesthetic.

“Family trip”

Jan 25, 2026PattyN820

I stayed at a garden room and loved it. Yes it was a 5 min walk to the buses and main tower but the savings and the fact you can use the monorail and walk to Magic Kingdom made it good choice. The room was the same as the Tower rooms. It was clean and the noise was minimal. Would definitely stay here again

“Gen Z not ready for face to face customer service. Robots”

Jan 21, 2026carole b

Hotel is great. Staff is very nice. But, they need to send some Gen Z front desk people to social interaction class. Efficient on the tablets but have 0 social skills. Robots are a better description. Fake compliments, every response is Amazing! Every. Single. Time. Is this your email? Yes. Amazing! No! It’s not amazing it’s just my email. Stop being so fake. Then, love the shirt, no you don’t. You are a robot. We see right through your fake attempt at happy. Not Disney material. This age grew up on screens. Too bad. Teach them the public.
