Disney’s Contemporary Resort, also referred to as (Cont) is one of three Deluxe Resorts located on the Magic Kingdom monorail line, and is one of eight Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts. The average rate per night is approximately $399.64, before tax. The typical standard room is approximately 437 square feet and can sleep up to five (5) guests. There are 655 guest rooms at the Contemporary Resort. The Contemporary is one of the two original resorts built when Walt Disney World originally opened in 1971, the other being The Polynesian (aka Polynesian Village Resort). The Contemporary is known as an ultra-modern resort with award-winning dining. Guests can literally walk to Magic Kingdom park, or easily hop on the Resort Monorail as it rides straight through the Contemporary Tower.
Inside the resort guests will find a 90-foot-tall mural by Disney Legend Mary Blair which celebrates the American Southwest. The Contemporary Resort has white-sand beaches, breathtaking views (especially from the observation deck on the 15th floor at the California Grill (my all time favorite restaurant in the world)), as well as top of the line recreation. Sammy Duvall’s Watersports is located at the Contemporary.
