    In 3 weeks my large family will be arriving at the Contemporary Resort for a 5 night stay. We have a close Orlando family that we'd love to see. Can they visit us at our resort hotel for a couple of hours and can their 3 children use the pool?

    Hi Blair! Welcome to planDisney.

    You are just a few weeks away from your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, and I know just how excited all of you are getting! My family stayed at Disney's Contemporary Resort on our first visit, and we had such an amazing time. I know you're going to make unforgettable memories!

    How lovely that you have dear friends who can pop by for a visit. I wish I could visit friends at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel - especially one as iconic as the Contemporary! During the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, registered Guests at Disney resort hotel may have visitors. They will need to share your name and room number with the Cast Member at the security gate to enter the parking area; it might be a good idea to call down to the front desk in advance of their arrival to ensure there won't be any parking issues for your visitors, as policies can change day to day with parking lots on the monorail loop. 

    Unfortunately, your guests are not permitted to swim during their visit. For safety reasons, and to prevent crowding, only Guests registered at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel may use that hotel's pool. I do encourage you to ask a Cast Member at the hotel if there has been any change to this policy when you arrive; they will always have the most up-to-date information.

    Have you heard that Chef Mickey's just reopened for dinner? If you could get a reservation for a meal with Mickey, that would be such a fun activity with your friends. The food options look terrific (I have a breakfast reservation coming up and cannot wait!), and Mickey and his pals will safely visit your table for selfies and waves. 

    Another fun option would be to get some food from Contempo Cafe and head to the outdoor area for a picnic. I love the beach area at Disney's Contemporary Resort, and there are lots of other beautiful outdoor spots to relax and visit over a good meal. Their flatbread pizzas are yummy, and don't miss the cupcakes! 

    I hope you enjoy every minute of your stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Blair, and that your visit with your friends is wonderful. If you think of any further questions as you plan and dream, we're here to help!

    Wishing you a magical vacation,
    Robyn
