DK Eyewitness "The monorail passes right through the middle of this concrete resort, where the rooms have recently undergone a complete renovation."
Rough Guide "Disney monorail runs right through the centre of this hotel, which takes its exterior design from the futuristic fantasies of the Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland."
Fodor's "You're paying for location at this sleek, modern, luxury resort next to the Magic Kingdom, as the monorail runs right through the lobby, making park hopping a breeze." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Contemporary is one of Disney’s original resorts, and it’s a favorite among kids both because it’s home to both Chef Mickey’s and the Monorail cuts right through the hotel." Full review
Gayot "Spectacular views and convenient monorail station highlight this futuristic Disney icon."
The Telegraph8.0
"Disney's Contemporary Resort has been extensively refurbished but still includes the monorail track running through the vast, enclosed foyer, providing a genuine Disney feel good experience." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Why book? This classic Disney resort has the best amenity possible—its backyard is the Magic Kingdom." Full review
Frommer's "A midcentury architectural treasure, and indicative of the revolutionary methods that Walt Disney World hoped to pioneer...even if you can’t stay here, this is the best hotel to tour. " Full review
Lonely Planet "The granddaddy of Disney resorts, the Contemporary's futuristic A-frame opened Walt Disney World in 1971 but feels uninspired and disappointing by today's standards." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The Art Deco-style here pays tribute to Hollywood movies, with spotlights reminiscent of a Hollywood movie premiere and glamorous touches throughout."
Gayot "This octagonal, 21-floor tower demands attention with its rooftop globe bathed in spotlights and breathtaking views of the Orlando skyline from inside the towering building."
Frommer's "Because it occupies one of those dated cylindrical towers that were briefly in vogue in the early 1970s, the ideally located property has slight novelty that doesn’t translate to luxury." Full review

Request a room that doesn’t face east, as the floodlights from the minigolf joint next door are blinding.
Fodor's "With a hard-to-miss giant silver ball perched atop it, this hotel on the north end of International Drive has a contemporary atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet "The art-deco motif starts at the driveway arch and spills into the small checkerboard-floored and mirrored lobby of this tall, skinny building in the middle of International Drive mayhem."

"A mid-range hotel near Universal Studios, the Four Points by Sheraton International Drive is a no-frills option ideal for families or business travelers." Full review
