Be Our Guest

Between the main building, south garden wing and Bay Lake Tower, Disney's Contemporary Resort features 950 guest rooms and suites. A complete renovation of these accommodations was completed in 2009, making these among the most modern and comfortable rooms on Walt Disney World property. Since the Contemporary Resort was one of the first Disney hotels in Florida and built in a different era from most of the others, the rooms here also happen to be among the largest (rivaled only by those at Disney's Polynesian Resort).

The look here is sleek and stylish, with clean and simple lines and Asian-inspired design. The rooms are done primarily in warm earth tones with the occasional pop of color from a pillow, chair, vase or tile.

Of course, as beautiful as the interior of each room may be, upon entering guests are immediately drawn to the view outside. Roughly half the rooms at the resort offer serene views across Bay Lake and a swath of still-pristine Florida wilderness. Perhaps the most coveted view, however, faces the opposite direction.

Typical hotels might put a premium on views of water and nature, while discounting those rooms which front a parking lot. Here, though, it's easy to forget the parking lot is even there, as you take in a spectacular view of the Magic Kingdom that can't be had anywhere else.
