Hi there!
From one Elizabeth to another, welcome back to planDisney! I'm so glad you stopped by with a question about one of my favorite Disney Resort hotels,
Disney's Contemporary Resort. The theming, views, and location are all truly
incredible! I mean, being able to walk to Magic Kingdom Park (with a dedicated security checkpoint) and watch Happily Ever After just steps from your room truly feels like magic.
Speaking of rooms at the Contemporary, you'll be happy to hear that your room will come equipped with a small beverage cooler. My husband and I have previously used it to store bottles of water, leftovers, and certain medications during our stay. In addition to the beverage cooler, you'll also find a coffee maker, hair dryer, and steamer in your room. Oh, and don't miss the super suits 'hanging' in the closet!
Although there won't be a microwave in your room upon arrival, you're more than welcome to request one at the Front Desk. It's important to keep in mind that inventory is limited, and microwaves are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you're unable to secure one for your room,
Hakuna Matata! You'll have access to a microwave at
Contempo Café, the quick-service restaurant located in Disney Contemporary Resort's Grand Canyon Concourse, as needed. Even if you won't be using the microwave, I encourage you to stop by during your stay. It's one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite or sip from my Resort-Refillable Mug while enjoying views of the monorail, Mary Blair's iconic mural, and the occasional glimpse of
Chef Mickey!
Don't forget that Guests of the Contemporary have incredible views of the
Electrical Water Pageant that drifts by on Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon each evening! It's one of my favorite ways to close out a magical day.
I hope this helps you plan, Elizabeth, and that your upcoming vacation is filled with magical memories. You're
almost there!
Dream a Fantastic Dream,
Lizzie
