We stayed here for 6 nights in January 2014, The room was nothing fancy but quite adequate. The resort is beautiful. We never had to wait long for bus service. Housekeeping could have been a tad better , a little dust here and there and there was a hole in the bathroom wall behind the door , which was quickly repaired upon a phone call. however we did ask them not to paint the area so we did not have to smell the paint. Food court was clean and there were many choices. Will stay here again.

A wonderful choiceCons:

I love Epcot during the Flower & Garden Festival. Many of the topiaries remain the same year after year, just moved to different places, but there were some new and different ones this time around. I really enjoyed the Lion King ones near Africa Outpost, the Muppets near Italy, the Woody one in USA. Mater's garden was super cute and fun for kids, and the "Garden Retreat" nearby was a great escape for adults. I did not get to experience the Butterfly Garden due to thunderstorms, so that was a little disappointing. I hope I can return next year during the Festival as well!

Every yearly visit it's a must for us to stop here for the wonderful red velvet cupcakes. They are huge! This time when we went it was a rainy day at the Studios so it was very crowded inside Starring Rolls. The way the inside is set up, with ordering on one side and paying on the other was very confusing...no one seemed to know what direction they should be going in and unfortunately there was only one check out register so there were people standing all over and no one knew where the line was. That being said, a little inconvenience will not stop us for coming again for the great cupcakes.
Pros:
great dessertsCons:

We ate here on March 15th.This is a great option for quick service if you're on the dining plan. There is a great selection for everyone and the staff was wonderful explaining that you had to go to different food areas to get all you're selections on the dining plan ( drinks, dessert) I had the pork chop and it was tender and full of flavor. Portion size is huge! Great place, we will be back.

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.

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. 🙂
