Hello, Roseann,
Thank you for sending your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel about
Disney's Contemporary Resort. I think you'll really enjoy staying there, especially with its large rooms and close proximity to the Magic Kingdom. At this resort, there is actually a large area on the second floor where the Convention Center is located. Outside of the meeting rooms, there is plenty of wide open space and seating. My husband and I have often gone here to take a break from the crowds and summer heat. We grab a coffee from
Contemporary Grounds and then relocate to the second floor. Even though there may be meetings happening, we have still found it to be a quiet spot, so I'd think it a great location for a crawling baby.
When our children were younger, they ended up pretty tired out after a day at the theme parks, so our normal early risers slept pretty soundly until we woke them up. However, if they did wake up early, we had a few little toys with us that they played with. In fact, we let them each pick out a small toy as a souvenir to keep them occupied. And of course, there are several Disney Channels available with Disney cartoons and videos about the theme parks if you really need a back-up plan for an early morning distraction when not everyone is awake yet.
Wishing you a magical trip! Please let us know if we can help with any further questions. -
