Disney’s Contemporary Resort is just one Monorail stop or short stroll away from the Magic Kingdom.

Chef Mickey’s
In fact, the Monorail goes directly through the A-frame Contemporary tower, making it a very easy destination for trying out its terrific dining destinations, whether the Contemporary is your “home resort” or not.
Simply click any of the links below to find more information — including lists of all our reviews — for each restaurant!
California Grill is the crown jewel of dining at the Contemporary Resort. This Signature Restaurant features Pacific Coast cuisine, and boasts unforgettable views of the Magic Kingdom.
Chef Mickey’s is a Character Meal… and the gang’s all here! Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Goofy all join the Main Mouse — Mickey himself! — at this meal where each character stops by your table in turns.
Contempo Cafe is a Counter Service option serving classic quick service options such as flatbreads, salads, and hot and cold sandwiches, alongside some standouts like a terrific Pot Roast dish for dinner. The bakery case is where you’ll find some of the best desserts in Disney World!
Contemporary Grounds is the perfect spot to grab a cup of coffee or quick pastry before strolling to the Magic Kingdom.
Outer Rim is a casual lounge that offers guests views of the Monorail as it zips through the Contemporary Resort.
The Sand Bar is the Contemporary Resort’s pool bar, serving options for a poolside meal in addition to tropical cocktails, beer and wine.
Steakhouse 71 is a new casual dining option serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The “71” is a nod to the opening year of Walt Disney World and the restaurant itself opened on the 50th Anniversary of the Resort, October 1, 2021! The restaurant is accompanied by the Steakhouse 71 Lounge.
Top of the World Lounge is an exclusive bar open to Disney Vacation Club members only, located at the top of Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary. Like the California Grill, it offers spectacular views of the Magic Kingdom.
Guests from other Resorts or the parks can access Disney’s Contemporary Resort by walkway or the Monorail from Magic Kingdom, or by bus from any of the other three theme parks and Disney Springs.
