Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with a great question, Kristen!
I had the opportunity of staying with my family at the iconic
Disney’s Contemporary Resort during our last visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, and I can definitely say that it was a magical experience like no other.
We really appreciated that it took only a 5-minute walk to get from the lobby to Magic Kingdom Park entrance, not to mention that my favorite restaurant is located at this hotel, the amazing
California Grill. Disney’s Contemporary Resort is also home to
Chef Mickey’s, an extremely popular character dining location that offers Guests the opportunity to have a meal with the Fab Five: Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald Duck.
However, I believe that what truly made our stay unforgettable was our Guest room: a main tower room with theme park view. Watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks every night from our balcony was an experience I will never forget. While making reservations you are allowed to select room type, but it is not possible to pick a specific room number. I also did some research to find out the best floors and room numbers for our magical stay. I decided to call to put in a request on our reservation for our preferred floors and even room numbers. Cast Members will be happy to add requests to your reservation, but please note that they are not guaranteed. I was lucky to have my requests granted on this last stay, but on many other occasions that was not the case. I usually add room requests approximately a week before check-in by contacting my travel agent or calling (407) 939-1936.
Kristen, please note that
while the theme parks and Disney Resort hotels are temporarily closed, it will not be possible to place
MagicBand orders linked to a Disney Resort hotel reservation. Keep checking your
Disney account for additional updates and to find out when you will be allowed to customize your bands again.
Thank you for sending another question our way! I hope this helps you while planning and that you come back to visit us real soon!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
