I love the Contemporary Resort!! Unpopular opinion but I think it is the best resort on the monorail loop. Incredible restaurants and iconically Disney!!
Pros:
California Grill and Steakhouse 71, monorail goes through it, walking distance to MK, one stop to the TTCCons:

To stay in the Contemporary is to experience the true essence of Walt Disney World. The experiences in this resort truly capture Walt's intent when designing these resorts. When you enter the lobby, you can feel the history in the building. There's no feeling like waking up to the monorail right outside your door and seeing people excitedly make way to Magic Kingdom. The resort is also convienient. Magic Kingdom is steps away. The Contemporary is a magical resort and, if your budget allows, it provides a great option that shouldn't be passed on.
Pros:
Magical, Convenient,Great Dining options, fun pool, monorail inside resort.Cons:
PriceyReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/05/2022

We stayed at the Contemporary after the refurbishment. We opted for a theme park view and, for us, it was totally worth it. We always stayed at moderate resort hotels, but we really loved the additional benefits and convenience the Contemporary provided. The rooms are beautiful with nice modern finishes. We loved the stunning view of the Magic Kingdom and the ability to watch the fireworks from our balcony. Having the extra fold down bed is a great plus that many other deluxe resorts don’t offer. The extended evening hours for deluxe resort guests are a big plus and you can’t beat the convenience of the Contemporary’s location. Now that we’ve stayed there, we can’t imagine staying anywhere else when we return to WDW. Also, Steakhouse 71 and California Grill are phenomenal dining options inside Contemporary Resort.
Pros:
Rooms are beautiful and feel high-end Can view the fireworks from room (if you have a theme park view room) Monorail station inside the hotel is convenient So close you walk to and from Magic KingdomCons:

We stayed here in July 2021 and 2019. Love watching the electrical water pagent every night at 10:05 and the quick walkway access to Magic Kingdom. The garden view rooms are quiet and big, allowing 5 people to stay in them.
Pros:
Walkway to MK. 5 person rooms. Electrical Water Pagent every nightCons:

We stayed here in late June/early July. Despite the ongoing construction we really enjoyed the Contemporary Resort! Since all the tower rooms were being refurb'ed we were left with the Garden rooms, and it did not disappoint. We really enjoyed the layout of the room! Friendly maid service, giving you the appropriate amount of coffee and tp and all the way to the wonderful sights and views (Fireworks!). We absolutely loved it her. Truly felt like a home away from home!
Pros:
So much to do and see. Terrific food menus and options. Loved the ability to order on your phone and pick it up. Awesome pool! Great views!Cons:
Lack of Contemporary Resort merchandise. Very noisy neighbors above us and front desk didn't do much about it.Reviewed by accord99cutie Review Date: 06/13/2021

The layout of this room is perfect for my family of 5! We have stayed in the tower twice with both a theme park view, and most recently a bay lake view. We loved watching the electrical water pageant from our balcony, and pre covid loved watching fireworks from our MK facing room! The dining options are great, and although the pool is a bit plain my kids loved the slide and playing pool side games. The ease of walking to and from MK make this resort one of our favorites!
Pros:
Room size, views, walk to magic kingdom and dining options.Cons:

Magic and Memories I have been staying at the contemporary hotel since my very 1st visit when I was 4 years old in 1971. My family would go to The Contemporary Yearly and it was like going home every time period from the 1st visit when we stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with views of Bay Lake. The memories stay with you. The magic stays with you 50 Years later and I treasure the moments I spent at The Contemporary. They hold some of my most treasured moments of my childhood with my brother.
