We have stayed many times at the Contemporary but never at concierge level. This past Xmas week was a first for us. We traveled with our whole family..total of 5. We had stayed on the atrium level. It was nice to have the extra lounge area to spread out when having the whole family with us. Breakfast was good. Mid -day snacks not impressive. Desserts at night were good. We always stay tower and MK view so the view from the lounge was nice, but we usually prefer our balcony. The staff was very helpful to have so we knew if MK was at capacity or not as Xmas week is very busy. Overall, this time it made sense to stay concierge level due to total number of people and time of year that we were visiting. However, not sure it was really worth the extra money if these were not factors.
Pros:
concierge staff, view from loungeCons:

All I can say is this is Disney magic at its best. It looks like you just stepped into the movie. We ate in the ballroom and I was afraid of the noise level, but it was not a problem. Our table was mesmerized by the snow falling and not missing the entrance of the Beast. The food was very good also. We were a party of five and we all had different entrees. Our server Shelly was very informative about imagineering concepts and hidden mickeys. We loved meeting the beast after dinner also. We so loved the atmosphere that we didn't want to leave and we lingered over coffee as long as possible. We were encouraged to visit the other rooms and take pictures. A lovely experience that will now become a must for every visit.

We ate here in early January and were a party of seven. The theming and atmosphere here is very pretty and calming. The service was excellent and we weren't rushed! For an appetizer I had the sauteed shrimp... omg! The shrimp was good but the sauce was so delicious everyone was dipping bread in it to try it... yum! For dinner I had the pork two ways... not a huge portion but it was still good, although the pork belly a little too fatty. I got one of their special martinis... whew! Way too strong and too alcohol tasting instead of smooth. We lucked out because while we were there we got to see the fireworks going off in Magic Kingdom! It's pricey but we had our Tables in Wonderland discount card. We would try it again though!

This place has great options for kid meals--you get a lot of food for the price. My daughter got the mac and cheese (huge portion) which also came with fries and yogurt and chocolate milk all for $6! DH and I ordered kids chicken wraps which were delicious! Great place for lunch with kids.

We made a reservation for 7:25 which was pushing it a little bit with 2 one year olds in our party, and then we had to wait 40 minutes past our reservation time to be seated at a table. Needless to say, had we known that, we wouldn't have made the reservation. We were seated with another couple who was nearly finished with their meal. Not being a huge fan of German food, I didn't really find much that would please me--didn't care for the potatoes even. The desserts were not very good either--the pear crumble was the best. The cost of this place is not worth what you get. Won't dine here again.

Enjoyed dinner here with group of 17 during the first week of December 2012.
Check in was seamless & they were able to accommodate the whole group together since there were long tables in the center of the restaurant.
Others in the group had been there before, while it was the first visit for a few of us. We felt well prepared for the onslaught of food to come. Needless to say, its difficult to pace yourself.
Salad & bread were tasty & well dressed. Noodles, broccoli, chicken wings and pot stickers were all excellent. The skewered meats were fantastic as well. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp & chicken.
We had a couple of young & picky eaters in our group. Our server noticed, and asked the two young boys if they would like some chicken nuggets & fries. You should have seen the platter that he produced! Probably 50 chicken nuggets and the equivalent of 10 regular orders of fries. Piping hot with sauces and ketchup!
I would recommend this as a must eat destination. But be forewarned... plan you days eating accordingly.

This was our first time experiencing the Hooop De Doo, and I imagine most future trips will include it.
We attended the 4pm show the first week of December 2012, and our group of 17 was split into two tables. We had tier II seating and used the DDP. There were no tables sat on the upper floor.
Taking the boat from MK is the most efficient option. It will dock @200 yards from the theatre. There are a couple of playgrounds along the walk to occupy the little (or big) kids in your group.
If you like BBQ chicken & ribs, cornbread & beans, and salad & bread... you'll love the food. If you don't, well... you should 🙂 The show is very entertaining and will prompt giggles from young & old. They do an excellent job engaging the crowd, and like all Disney experiences, they find a way to make everyone feel pretty special.
I've traveled to Disney a number of times on the DDP, and this is by far the most memorable use of a 2 TS credit.

We stayed in the Acadian House. Parking was easy, finding the room was a little more difficult. We had a garden view and our room seemed miles away from the parking lot. It's not a terrible issue. It was just a little confusing at first. The room was nice and you could tell that it had been recently renovated. The beds were comfortable. Our check-in was smooth thanks to a gentleman named Dave. We spent several evenings catching a movie on the lawn and enjoying the pool. They were great ways to unwind after spending the day at the parks. The grounds were well maintained and provided great views for evening strolls. The only issue we had was after my daughter got sick after eating at the food court. It was the middle of the night and she headed to the front door instead of the bathroom. We immediately cleaned up the mess and alerted housekeeping that the carpet would need cleaned. When we returned from the parks the next day, we could see(and smell)that it hadn't been done. We called housekeeping again and it was taken care of that evening. There were many more positives that negatives. We never encountered any staff members that were rude. They were all very friendly. If you stay here you must catch YeeHaw Bob's show. It was a blast for the whole family.
