Is Disney’s Contemporary Resort worth it? Here’s my honest review!
After staying here recently, I can absolutely see why it’s such a popular choice, especially if Magic Kingdom is a priority. Being able to WALK to the park in under 10 minutes is hard to beat! 🙌🏼
But is it my favourite Disney resort? Honestly, no.
Here’s how I’d rate it ⭐️
🚶🏻♀️ Location for Magic Kingdom: 5/5
✨ Overall resort vibes: 3/5
🍽️ Food & shopping: 4.5/5
🏊🏼♀️ Pool: 3/5
🛏️ Room size: 5/5
📍 Garden Wing room location: 2/5
🎨 Overall Disney aesthetic: 2/5
The rooms are spacious, the Incredibles theming has some really fun hidden details, and the dining and shopping options are great. But the overall aesthetic feels more modern than magical to me, and my Garden Wing room felt pretty far from the main lobby.
That said, if you’re planning multiple Magic Kingdom days and want to avoid relying on Disney transportation, the convenience is a HUGE selling point.
✨ My verdict: A great choice for location, but not my personal favourite Disney property!
Tell me… would you choose the Contemporary for that walk to Magic Kingdom, or would you rather stay somewhere with more Disney theming? 👇🏼
