I was feeling nostalgic today and wanted to write about the first resort I ever stayed in on my first trip to Disney World.
The Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World, was 1 of 2 resorts at Walt Disney World when it first opened. It's is the A-Framed silver resort that sits very close to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. The thing I thought was so cool was not only how it looked, but that the monorail traveled right through it. I remember hopping on that monorail and being able to sit up front with the driver. So cool!
The guest rooms recently underwent a major transformation and it has a much more modern look. There are shops and many activities to keep you busy if you decide to take a break from the parks.
The new Fantasia gift shop opened in 2007 with ginor'mouse' (ha..get it?) Mickey ears announcing the entrance.
You can't miss the huge mosaic tile mural on the wall. Have you seen the 5 legged goat? Besides all there is to see, there is some great dining at The Contemporary as well.
One of the most popular places to dine, being Chef Mickeys. This is a buffet style, character meal. My son's first encounter with Dale, (from Chip n Dale) was here. Dale approached him as he was eating, and Jason reached up and honked his nose. Very cute and I was so happy to catch that on film.
Recently the Bay Lake Towers, being part of the Disney Vacation Club have been added to the resort area.
I think one of the best parts of staying here is not only enjoying the beautiful resort, but location, location, location. You can walk to the Magic Kingdom within minutes, or hop on the monorail for easy access to EPCOT as well.
Yes, this is considered one of Disneys Deluxe Resorts, however with the spring discount going on right now, you may be able to make this resort an option for you!
