A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Contemporary Resort If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World in Florida, you know it can be a lot of fun, but it’s also an EXHAUSTING vacation. A typical day probably begins with a 6:30 a.m. wake-up call and ends with bedtime around midnight, with about 7-10 miles of walking in between! By the third or fourth day, the whole family can start feeling a bit (understandably) crabby, but I have a solution! Add a day to your hotel stay, but don’t add a day to your park tickets, and take a Day Off in [...]

Since reopening in July, many guests have made their way back to Walt Disney World to a new kind of magic. I had a trip planned for April 2020, which was canceled due to the closure, so I was very excited to get back to the action myself! Since I’m a Florida resident (for the next few months anyway), it was easy to plan a quick 3-night trip back down to Orlando at the end of September. I wanted to share my review of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, new safety policies and procedures at the parks and resorts, dining procedures, and [...]

The Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom monorail loop runs along the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon. Along this loop are three of Walt Disney World’s most iconic resort hotels: The Polynesian Village Resort, The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and The Contemporary Resort. Along with the convenience of being a monorail ride away from both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot (via transfer) you’ll also find an abundance of recreational activities along with some of the best dining on property. The Polynesian Village Resort was one of the original Walt Disney World resorts opening on October 1, 1971. This resort has [...]

Value Resorts These are the cheapest hotels on property and offer a basic motel room atmosphere. You have the All Star Movies, All Star Sports, All Star Music, Pop Century and Art of Animation.

I recently had the opportunity to dine at the newly refurbished California Grill located at Disney's Contemporary Resort. I had been looking forward to dining at California Grill but was unable to get a reservation after some plans unexpectedly changed and I needed to cancel my original reservation. The restaurant was closed for an extended time, completely refurbished and now it has reopened and everyone's wanting to check it out. I decided to attempt to walk up early and see if I could get a seat at the bar. Expecting to be turned away, I was pleasantly surprised when I [...]
