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

Rough Guide Star
"With the atmosphere of a small village, this sprawling resort is dotted with swimming pools and restaurants, and has activities for the kids."
Gayot "This sprawling 135-acre complex typifies the upscale, suburban, gated townhouse communities that are commonly found in Florida."
Zagat3.8
"A "one-stop vacation location", this "enjoyable" Orlando timeshare resort feels like a "home away from home" thanks to "spacious", "comfortable" villas that "have everything"."
Star Service "Goes both ways, offering self-sufficient types a solid base, though a surprising variety of dining options and the chipper staff please those in search of something more akin to a full-service hotel." Full review
