Hi Victoria, and welcome back to planDisney. You’re going to have an INCREDIBLE time at the
Contemporary Resort! I love the mid-century vibe and all the Parr Family references throughout the rooms.
Now, let’s make sure your clothes are nice and dry for your Disney adventure! I’m happy to confirm that the Contemporary Resort rooms do have retractable clotheslines in the shower.
I’m always drying clothes in my hotel room, whether it’s my swimsuit after visiting the pool, my park outfit following an afternoon rainstorm, or a few pieces of laundry after washing things I want to wear again. I usually wait until everyone showers to hang clothes overnight on the retractable clothesline. I can confirm they’re sturdy because I even hung a wetsuit once in my bathroom at
Riviera Resort!
But for anything that’s not dripping wet, I also hang clothes on hangers in the closets (keep the door open for air circulation!). There are usually plenty of hangers, but if I’m sharing a room with a lot of people, I’ll sometimes bring my own foldable plastic travel hangers. Especially if I plan to air-dry a lot of clothes.
One of my tips for air-drying swimsuits is to roll them in a towel and twist to squeeze the water out. Then when you hang them, they dry pretty quickly!
If you have a lot of clothes to wash or dry, you might want to use
Disney Resort hotel laundry services. I prefer not to put my clothes in a dryer, so I’ll sometimes use one of the self-service washing machines and bring the clothes back to dry in my room.
While you're at the Contemporary Resort, be sure to check out the recreation schedule in the lobby or by the pool (ask a Cast Member if you can't find it). There are so many fun complimentary activities, from pickleball clinics to silent disco! I like to snap a photo of the schedule with my phone so it's easy to reference.
I hope you have a magical stay at the Contemporary Resort. If you have any other questions, we’d love to have you back at planDisney!
