Hi Randy!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you stopped by before your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort later this week. Since your trip is approaching fast, let's waste no time and "dive" into your answer!
Randy, I think you're going to love
Disney's Contemporary Resort. It's one of my favorite places to stay, thanks to its proximity to
Magic Kingdom Park and easy access to the
Walt Disney World Monorail. During my most recent stay here, I was in the Main Tower and fell in love with the rooms that were themed after The Incredibles. Make sure to open your closet for a peek into what Mr. Incredible and his family packed for their trip! Of course, you'll also enjoy
fabulous dining options at this resort. If you can find availability at
Chef Mickey's for a character meal during your visit, I'd highly recommend it. There is nothing quite like starting your day with Mickey waffles and some of your favorite friends!
I chatted with a Cast Member who confirmed that the Bay Lake Pool is currently closed until late December 2024. While I know this news may be disappointing, I'm happy to share that the
Contemporary Feature Pool and Water Play Area are available for Guests. The Cast Member I spoke with shared that the current hours for the pool are from 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM. If you have any chilly evenings, there is no need to worry, as you'll find the pools are heated!
While you're enjoying your time around your resort, make sure to check in the main lobby for the
current activities schedule. You'll often find activities like campfires, Movies Under the Stars, and poolside games happening throughout the day. Also, you'll be treated to views of fireworks from Magic Kingdom Park each night and have a front-row viewing location for the
Electrical Water Pageant.
Randy, I hope this information is helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Disney's Contemporary Resort and Walt Disney World! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again - we're all ears!
See ya real soon!
