Welcome to planDisney, Joanne!
We are incredibly happy to hear from you, and hope that you are getting excited for your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth! I hope you enjoy every moment of your stay at
Disney’s Contemporary Resort —this is such a magical place to stay! I especially love that you can easily walk to Magic Kingdom AND that you have access to the
Monorail!
Both the preferred view and the theme park view at Disney’s Contemporary Resort are lovely! The theme park view is going to give you a view of Magic Kingdom (you may also have a partial view of the Contemporary Resort parking lot included with the Magic Kingdom view from your room). The preferred view option is going to give you a view of Bay Lake. Really both views are great, it just depends on what your party would prefer!
While you’re staying at the Contemporary, do NOT (seriously I mean really, really, really do NOT) forget to make a reservation for
Steakhouse 71. This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants ever and it would be a crime if you did not eat at this restaurant. My favorite menu item? Actually not even the steaks (even though they are incredible)… My favorite entree is the Veggie Wellington. My husband (also a steak-lover) and I get the Veggie Wellington every single time and we pair it with a flight of the Steakhouse 71 sauces. Seriously, do not overlook this restaurant! Give it a try!
If you have additional questions, we would love to hear from you again at planDisney!
See ye real soon,
Allyn
