Overview

The closest hotel to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Contemporary Resort emerges majestically from the dazzling shores of Bay Lake and features award-winning dining, spectacular views and dazzling pools.

Sleek monorails breeze through the heart of the lobby, whisking guests to Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot. Leisure activities abound when you are not in the Disney Parks. Soak up the sun amid marina views and white-sand beaches at the main feature pool or make a splash shooting down the 17-foot-high, curving waterslide! Nearby Bay Lake Pool offers a more relaxing retreat for all ages. Top-notch exercise facilities are available at the Olympiad Fitness Center and the hotel also offers tennis, basketball, volleyball courts and boat rentals on Bay Lake. You can meet up with your favourite Disney Characters at Chef Mickey's Restaurant or perhaps try out the stylish 15th-floor California Grill with its amazing bird's-eye views over the Magic Kingdom Park - perfect for the evening fireworks!

Loved MK. Rode all rides bar 7 dwarfs minetrain as queue was way too long. We have rode this before and it was not worth the queue. Still loved Pirates and river cruise. Was disappointed with splash mountain upgrade. We queued ah hour and it was rather underwhelming. Miss the catchy tune. Loved the upgrade of Big Thunder Mountain. The ride was smooth and had elements of 7 dwarfs with rocking on the track. TRON was fab, such a great ride. Only negative was that Space mountain needs a refurb. Feels rough after smoothnes of Tron. I believe that is planned so looking foward to future improvements.

Fab park. Fireworks was lovely. Queues lower on a night apart from Guardians. At rope drop dont ride Guardians straight away, wait for half an hour to let queue settle. It said 60 mins, queue was inside building, it took 45 minutes. Ride was amazing, best ride I went on. Ratatouille was very short and a spinning ride. Was little underwhelmed with this ride. Still loved soaring and the different lands. Frozen was closed. Spaceship Earth could do with an update.
