We just got back from our visit to Disney world and our stay at the Contemporary and we LOVED it!! so impressed with this resort. I had a few doubts about it from reading some negative reviews but I have to say I am totally impressed with it. We had a Deluxe room in the garden view wing, I could not afford to stay in the Tower due to the rates during spring break but I wanted to try this resort and I opted for the Garden Wing, orig wanted just a standard room but they were all booked so I took the deluxe room. I requested a lower level room and close to the tower with a pool view and I was granted all of my request. The room was actually to big for the 3 of us but my kids loved it and we didn't want to leave the room. The bathroom was huge and the beds were very comfortable. Mousekeeping was awesome!! the room was very sound proof, never heard anything next to us or above us and the traffic outside our room was also quiet. We have stayed at the value resorts, Wilderness and the Yacht CLub and I have to say this was my favorite resort/room. The walk over to Magic Kingdom was a breeze and then we took the monorail back at night.
Kids loved the pool and the pool party/games/and of course the prizes. We also enjoyed the movie on the beach and night and was able to have a perfect view of the fire works without the massive park crowds. and the electric water parade each night was a great treat.
Love this location and would stay again if given the chance.
Pros:
Walking distance to Magic Kingdom, room sizeCons:

Our group of 4 adults ate here on March 14th for dinner. We arrived 25 min. before our reservation time and were seated immediately. We asked for a recommendation for a bottle of red wine to compliment our dinner and were not disappointed. We were all pleased with our entrée selection and the couple with us were celebrating their anniversary, so what a nice surprise when some of the staff brought out complimentary dessert and sang happy anniversary to them. The atmosphere, warmth of the staff , and great dinner will have us coming back during our next visit.
Pros:
atmoshpere, great foodCons:

Our group of 4 adults ate here March 15th and this has become a must do on our yearly visits. The wait staff and chef were very personable and friendly. The food was wonderful.....plentiful, hot and fresh. It was fun getting to talk to and know the other guests seated at our table. We will be back.

Our group of 4 adults had dinner here on March 16th using the dining plan. We arrived 20 min. before our reservation time and only waited 5 min. before being seated in the ballroom dining area. The restaurant is beautiful inside and we were told we could walk around into the other seating areas to get the full effect. Our waitress seemed like she was one of the characters right out of the movie. Great fun! We all ordered something different, and were very pleased with our choices. I had the pork chop, it was juicy and tender and I would deffinately order it again. After dinner we went into the library for a picture with the Beast. This is a " do again", and I highly recommend eating here.

My family always uses either the regular dining plan or deluxe dining when we visit WDW, because we find it saves us money each time we visit.
This last visit was just my husband and I, so we splurged and used the deluxe dining plan. We dined at the following restaurants: Captain's Grill, California Grill, Liberty Tree Tavern, Be Our Guest, Sci Fi Diner, Brown Derby, Olivia's, Narcoossees, Yak and Yeti's, Artist Point, San Angel Inn, Via Napoli and Le Cellier. We had so many leftover snack credits, that we used them on candy to bring home for the kids.
It was so nice to go on vacation and only have to worry about tip money and alcohol. Everything else had been pre paid. 🙂
Pros:
Abundance of FoodCons:

My husband and I enjoyed the Flower and Garden Festival on March 13th and 14th. The crowds were heavy both days, but the topiaries and flowers more than made up for the craziness in the park.
We especially enjoyed the topiary of Lady and the Tramp in the Italy pavilion and the topiary of Woody in the American pavilion. We also enjoyed the butterfly house and all the extra food and vendor booths throughout Epcot.
Pros:
Topiary Gardens and FlowersCons:

We have been to the Studios many times, but never ate here before. Being on the Dining plan we needed to find a quick service location for our dinner so we decided to try here. What a pleasant surprise! There aren't a lot of choices but enough for our group of 4 adults. The food was great! Hot and large portions. We were there on St. Pats day and we couldn't believe the huge choc. and mint cupcake we each got for dessert. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was very tidy and clean. We will be back!!!
Pros:
clean, waitstaff very friendlyCons:

We've stayed at this resort before, and love how we can walk to Epcot and all the activity on the Boardwalk. This time ( March 13 - 18 ) when we entered our room all we could smell was a musty odor , the room looked tired and the pillows on the bed were ripped. A bathroom light burned out and it never got fixed. It's a beautiful resort and I will probably stay here again, I just think for the price of a deluxe hotel everything should be in perfect working order.
Pros:
beautiful resort, close to epcotCons:

We stayed at Coronado Springs March 15-17, 2014. We had a great stay. I used online check in and received the building and view I requested. Plus the room was ready for check-in at 9:30 in the morning. We were very pleased. We ate breakfast every morning at Pepper Market and the food was delish. I highly recommend the Egg and Chorizo sandwich. we had little to no wait for food. We also had great bus service. Our longest wait was 10 minutes for the bus to Epcot. This was my second time staying here and my boyfriend's first. I would highly recommend this resort.
Pros:
Beautiful, not crowdedCons:

We stayed at POR Royal Room Feb26-Mar4th. Our group had 10 people in it, so we had 3 rooms. We were in Oak with a river view. The location was wonderful. It was a 5 min walk to the food court and main bus stop. We had a quiet pool on the side of the building which the kids enjoyed more than the main pool. The food court had a good variety just very busy. Our main complaint was the transportation. Took forever to get anywhere. We waited for buses a lot. POR needs more buses for the amount of people staying there. This was our first moderate resort. We usually stay deluxe but we felt for the value the resort was worth it. We will probably try to continue to stay deluxe but if we had to go moderate we would stay here again.
