Disney's Contemporary Resort is located within walking distance of the 🏰 Magic Kingdom! My family had the blessing of staying here for a night and enjoyed it immensely. The Incredibles themed rooms can 🛏sleep up to 5 guests with two queen beds and a sleeper sofa. The spacious bathroom featured double sinks, a deluxe shower, and separate toilet area with a pocket door. We stayed in the Garden Wing with a water view, watching the ferry boats pass by from our patio. This resort is located along the monorail, so guests may opt to take the monorail to the Magic Kingdom or Epcot (transfer monorails at the Ticketing & Transportation Center to reach Epcot).

🏊‍♀️ Pool time! My kids appreciated the water slide, swam around in the temperature-controlled pool, and spent time in the splash zone shooting water cannons at each other.

🪩 The resort's evening activity schedule included "Beats on the Bay" out on the patio, in which the activities Cast Member played music and disco lights, had hula hoops available for the kids, and asked the kids fun questions about Disney films and characters.

🎆 We checked the "My Disney Experience" app for the Magic Kingdom Fireworks time and claimed a spot on the bridge between the Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower for an excellent view!

🎮 Guests of the Contemporary Resort may walk next door to Bay Lake Tower to enjoy activities in the Community Hall including arts and crafts, Disney movies, and video games. My daughter chose to color a picture from Zootopia, and both kids played a Lego Movie switch game together for a bit. The movie playing was National Treasure since the kids in the room for the time being were all older.

🍽 Dining available in the Contemporary Resort includes Chef Mickey's character dining https://www.facebook.com/share/p/U63Ei9xW9VTSFfhh/ (meet Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto as you dine), Steakhouse 71, California Grill (Fine Dining), Contempo Cafe (quick service), Outer Rim (bar), and Joffrey's (coffee).

🛍 Gift Shops include BVG, Fantasia, and the Market.

at Jollywood Nights!

➡️ Epic Eats booth:
🍗 Spicy Fried Korean Chicken with Pickled Vegetables served on a Mini Funnel Cake - my family's favorite! All four of us were eager to devour this tasty treat. 😋
🥩 Beef Brisket and Sauerkraut Slaw with Thousand Island Dressing served on a Mini Funnel Cake - both adults enjoyed this savory snack, while the kids were not so much okay with the presence of sauerkraut.
🍫 Giant Roasted Marshmallow with Chocolate and Marshmallow Sauce topped with Chocolate Curls and Cinnamon Cereal on a Mini Funnel Cake - we loved the idea of a S'mores Funnel Cake; however, ours had an overwhelming amount of Marshmallow Sauce and few Cinnamon Cereal bits to balance it out. It was good, but not my fave.

➡️ Market
🥃In Holiday Fashion: Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, rosemary syrup, cranberry and lime juices, and cinnamon - this Old Fashioned was very cinnamon-y. While I prefer a more traditional Old Fashioned to this one, I sipped it to the end.
🍪Gingerbread Bites: These plant-based tasty treats came in a bag to share - all four of us liked them, but they were so rich we each had one and saved the rest for later.

➡️ABC Commissary
🥃Oaxaca Old-Fashioned: Intense smoky flavor! My husband loved this. I found it intriguing - good, but I still like a traditional Old Fashioned the best.

NOTE: The following snacks were enjoyed by my fellow agents at Favorite Grampy Travels who attended the event as a group while I was with my family:
🥙Mushroom Taco: Chili-roasted Mixed mushrooms, avocado crema, baby gem lettuce, and garnished with sliced radish
🍖Yuca con Chicharrón: Fried pork belly, yuca, red pickled onions, and chili pepper-lime seasoning with a yellow pepper aïoli
🍫Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake: Spiced chocolate cheesecake on a chocolate cookie base topped with vanilla whipped cream and cocoa powder with a chocolate handle
🥙Birria Taco: Shredded short rib and Monterey jack served with beef consommé for dipping
🍗Chicken Empanadas with Street Corn: Chicken empanadas served with a side of street corn salad topped with chili peppers, lime, and cotija cheese
🍹Mangonada: Frozen mango beverage with mango-chili pepper-lime sauce and chili pepper-lime seasoning on top (Non-alcoholic)

➡️PizzeRizzo
🍮Tiramisu - my fellow agents report that it tasted like an almond chocolate croissant and could not taste the coffee flavoring traditionally associated with tiramisu.

➡️Baseline Taphouse
🐟 Tuna Ceviche - Marinated ahi tuna, pico de gallo, and avocado cream topped with cilantro - my fellow agents report that it was a hit!
🥓🧀Charcuterie Cup: Manchego, chorizo, serrano ham, pickled vegetables, olives, and toasted focaccia bread - my fellow agents liked this as well!
🍸Sugar Cookie Martini: my fellow agents report that they were super excited to try this, but it did not live up to their expectations.
