Would you believe us if we told you we could show you a tour of one of Disney’s most popular Resort hotels without you ever having to leave your couch?
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Not to mention, it won’t cost you a thing! Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a deluxe hotel that is within literal walking distance of Magic Kingdom. With perks like that, you can believe it’s just a bit on the pricier side. From new restaurants to old favorites and updated rooms, the Contemporary is loved by many Disney guests. And now, we’re taking you on a full room tour!
First things first, let’s talk about the architecture of the Contemporary. You might notice upon first glance that there’s actually a giant hole in the middle of the original building. That’s because the Walt Disney World Monorail actually goes through the hotel and stops inside!

The Contemporary recently underwent renovations to several areas of the hotel, including updates to the lobby and a brand new restaurant, Steakhouse 71.
The updated lobby of the Contemporary
One of the most iconic aspects of the Contemporary is the large atrium that houses the monorail station, gift shops, and several dining locations. Check out the character breakfast at Chef Mickey’s for a delicious start to your day! You’ll also find Contempo Cafe, Outer Rim, and of course — California Grill at the Contemporary too.

Okay, now onto the main event: the room tour! On this visit, we stayed in a Main Tower Theme Park View Room, which sleeps up to 5 adults and either includes 1 king bed and 1 day bed or 2 queen beds and 1 day bed. Here’s what you seen when you open the door…

The main light switches are to your right as you walk in just before the entrance to the bathroom, and on your left you’ll find the closet.

That’s our FULL look at a Main Tower Theme Park View Room at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. If this hotel isn’t your style, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort might be another Magic Kingdom Resort on your list that suits your fancy (literally!). We did a room tour of the Grand Flo earlier this year!

For a slightly less expensive hotel option, moderate resorts like Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resorts can be top notch. Don’t forget that all Disney Resort hotel guests can take advantage of Early Park Admission to all four theme parks, but only Deluxe Resort hotel guests receive Extended Evening Hours.

Thank you for this! Just stayed in this exact same room for 5 nights this past April. The view of the castle was astounding and almost every night we watched the Enchantment fireworks from the balcony (you can turn your TV onto a “fireworks” channel so you hear the music played in your room)! The opposite side of the hotel features gorgeous pools, outside activities and a beach on Bay Lake.
The whole stay was incredible – pun intended. We cried when we left.
Pun appreciated, Anne! I’m so happy to hear you had a great time!
This could be our room… 3 nights this upcoming December. Can’t wait! Hoping for some sort of discount, though.
