What is the Contemporary Resort like?
The Contemporary Resort is one of the two original WDW hotels. It is located between Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon on the monorail loop that services the Magic Kingdom. It consists of a large A-frame section (the Tower) and one Garden Wing (South) . The fourth floor of the Tower is known as the Grand Canyon Concourse where you will find a variety of shops and restaurants as well as the monorail station. As of August 4, 2009, there will also be a walkway to Bay Lake Tower, a Disney Vacation Club resort. The Contemporary offers many recreation options and also houses large convention facilities. Connected to the Contemporary Resort via a 4th floor walkway bridge is Bay Lake Tower, Disney Vacation Club resort. You must be staying at Bay Lake Tower in order to access the resort building and/or pool grounds.
