Review of Contemporary Resort (Deluxe Resort)

We stayed here for a week in April 2018 in the A tower. Had a lake pool view out the back sliding door/balcony, a view of Chef Mickey's out the front door. We all thought it was the most magical place we've ever stayed. We were on floor 5 - had a pretty good bird's eye view of Chef Mickey's but never heard any noise from inside our room. And every morning before setting off to the parks, we all had to pause and watch the kids below dancing and interacting with the characters. *LOVE* Loved also being able to walk into Magic Kingdom. Loved walking past Space Mountain every morning. Loved eating at and watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the California Grill (fabulous, BTW). Beds were very comfortable, the room itself was roomy, staff were friendly and efficient. This resort is on the expensive side, we certainly won't be able to stay here every visit to WDW - but we would choose this resort every time if we could afford it. Oh, and the lobby smells so good. Highly recommend.
Pros:
Location, beds, pool, views, cleanliness, shops, restaurantsCons:

My first ever Disney resort. I stayed her long time ago as my wife and i's first ever trip to WDW. The pool is awesome. It can be quite a walk to get food or soft drinks. CUrrent construction is a burden til new building is up.
Pros:
The pool and beachy feel of the resort.Cons:
current construction. long walk to main buidlings.Reviewed by wdwfam9 Review Date: 09/26/2018

We ate a late late dinner here, more of a snack. It probably would have been better had we not been rushing out of the park eating a last piece of pizza and breadsticks available.

The food was your typical amusement park food, chicken tenders and burgers. What we got that made our lunch was the show we happened upon. We did not realize this was a show until we were seated and it started. What a wonderful surprise, to bump up our food experience!

We stayed in a two bedroom villa in the Paddock section. This is a lovely resort with beautiful grounds. The décor in our room was dated and the carpet a bit worn, but there was really nothing wrong with it at all. We were close to the Paddock pool which we really enjoyed. There was a bus stop right in front of our building, and we had excellent bus service when we needed it. We did have a vehicle, and it was great to be able to park right by the resort. The only drawback to this resort is that it is huge. We had chosen to stay here for the first half of the trip to take advantage of the restaurants at Disney Springs, and although we did walk there every night it was a very long walk from our room. We were also quite far away from the main building and only stopped there once when driving back from the parks.
Pros:
beautiful resort close to Disney SpringsCons:

We stayed here as a family of 4, perfect location! Same side of the street as Disneyland and California Adventure. You can actually see the backside of CarsLand from the parking lot of the hotel. About 1/2 mile walk to the entrance. Wonderful selection of a continental breakfast, we ate here every morning.
Pros:
distance, continental breakfastCons:

We (me, husband, mom, dad) visited the Baseline Tap House in April 2018. We were waiting for our reservation for the next door Sci Fi DineIn so we popped in to Baseline for a round of drinks and an appetizer. Three of us ordered California IPAs, one had one of the specialty sodas on tap, I think it was black cherry flavored. Beverages were fabulous, most of us wished we'd ordered the specialty soda, it was fabulous - didn't taste artificial at all. The Bavarian pretzel we ordered was delicious, too. Perfect for 4 to share before dinner. Fun atmosphere, nice tables outside, and good music. A win for us!
Pros:
Good beer, atmosphere, great unique drinks for non-drinkersCons:

December 2017 I found myself without dinner plans so I headed to Raglan Road and grabbed a seat at the bar.
Wasn't sure that anything sounded good, but bartendess recommended what is now at the top of my favorite Disney Meals list.
Cider Salmon - pan roasted north Atlantic salmon, golden potatoes, sauteed spinach & charred lemon with a strawberry & lime cider glaze $29
Wowza.
Heading back the end of October and will be going back to have it again!
Pros:
Great staff, nice entertainment and surprisingly great food.Cons:

Location location location! It can't be beat. I mean you can walk to MK. The Monorail is right there! BLT is great part of DVC. Pretty cool decorations. The pool is ok, small in a way, but cool. Slide is fun.
Pros:
Close walk to MK. Monorail to Epcot and 2 other resorts!Cons:

who doesn't love Disney animation. This is a must for any family to experience at least once. There are larger rooms to accommodate larger families and give mom and dad some privacy. i have only stayed in the Ursula section. once in 2 double beds and once getting 1 king bed. It's one of the few value resorts you can request a King bed. Pool is awesome and has underwater music.
