Apr 02, 2025Good but not great. Fantastic location!
Just okay. Great location but didn't love the hotel. Decor was somewhat blah and had no excitement when you walked into the Lobby/. The rooms were great and the Incredibles theme was subtle and classy. Loved how it was incorporated in the drawers and closets. We had a Deluxe Garden Wing, King Room that had a LOT of room and huge bathroom. We loved it. Windows were sliding doors but no balcony. Shower had poor pressure (garden wing Floor 2) so couldnt even wash my hair. Ceiling was also too low in the shower area because my husband, 6'5" had trouble standing in the shower. A/C was good but lowest it could go was 68 degrees. Ability to walk to Magic Kingdom was awesome. Bus stop was very close to the lobby and there's a coffee shop in the lobby making it easy to grab something as your heading to the buses in the morning. Pool was just okay. We had 1 pool day and didn't find it too exciting. There's a water slide that's great and easy for kids to enjoy (not too steep or fast). There's a splash pad too but it wasn't on. Theres an adult only "quiet pool" that opens earlier than the main pool and is great for adults. There's also a beach/sandy area with cusioned beds and beach volleyball. The chaise lounges by the pool have a great cusion and pillows. The drink & food service poolside was great. It was fast, easy, and the drink options were some of our favorites. All of the restaurants and stores are on the 4th floor so need to go up from the lobby. Overall the hotel feels like a convetion center, which it is, more than a "magical disney" resort.

Apr 01, 2025Lots of pluses, with a few minus'
We stayed in the main building and that can't be beat. Even though your door faces the main interior, it was quiet. The noises from the lake were hardly noticed as well. Beds were comfortable, except for the couch bed (very hard). Even if you stay in a garden room, there is almost no walking to pool or monorail. When we were touring other hotels, the main problem is the possibility of having a room so far from transportation. That is not an issue here. Pool was nice with a small slide. Keep in mind the other pool near the tour is for vacation club members only. Chef mickey is highly over rated. The food was not good. You are paying for the character interactions that last maybe a total of 10 minutes. The main restaurant was good. the pizza was very good. The free refill cups work only at the resorts (all) not at the parks. Monorail is a great way to get to magic kingdom. Otherwise the shuttles arrive about every 20 minutes to get you around. Great stay but pricey. Would stay again, but would look at cheaper options first.

Great First Stay - Fabulous Location
This was my fourteenth stay at Disney ( and my first at the Contemporary). I have tended to stay close to Disney’s Boardwalk so Magic Kingdom made a change. I loved that we could walk to Magic Kingdom and then onto the Grand Floridian and Polynesian resorts. We stayed in a Garden Wing room ( lake view) and I loved the room. The room could hold 5 so felt very spacious for 2 adults. The block was quiet and we were never disturbed at night due to noise. Housekeeping was ok ( but not fabulous) and some days I didn’t think the bathroom had been particularly well cleaned. Food in the hotel was typical Disney and even Steakhouse 71 was nothing to shout home about. We used Uber a lot and never waited long for our taxi. Staff were always helpful and accommodating and I’d happily recommend this hotel.

Mar 21, 2025The best for quick access to Magic Kingdom
This was our second time staying in the Garden Wing. We do a split stay - and stay here when going to Magic Kingdom. Super quick to either walk or take the monorail to MK - and easy to get back for breaks during the day. Pool & hot tub are nice and right on the lake. We love the Garden Wing - as it's a bit quieter and can get a nicer room for the price. Will stay here again if return to MK.

The pillows are amzing. The hotel is fine. It could be a little updated but amazing with the magic. ...............................................................................................................................
