Overview

The closest hotel to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Contemporary Resort emerges majestically from the dazzling shores of Bay Lake and features award-winning dining, spectacular views and dazzling pools.

Sleek monorails breeze through the heart of the lobby, whisking guests to Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot. Leisure activities abound when you are not in the Disney Parks. Soak up the sun amid marina views and white-sand beaches at the main feature pool or make a splash shooting down the 17-foot-high, curving waterslide! Nearby Bay Lake Pool offers a more relaxing retreat for all ages. Top-notch exercise facilities are available at the Olympiad Fitness Center and the hotel also offers tennis, basketball, volleyball courts and boat rentals on Bay Lake. You can meet up with your favourite Disney Characters at Chef Mickey's Restaurant or perhaps try out the stylish 15th-floor California Grill with its amazing bird's-eye views over the Magic Kingdom Park - perfect for the evening fireworks!
