Walt Disney World resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort

November 1, 2010 by

Disney's Contemporary resort

Of all the Walt Disney World resorts, the most famous is the Contemporary resort. This was one of the first Walt Disney World resort hotels made on Disney property, and the only one with Disney’s monorail train running right through it.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort is in walking distance of the Magic Kingdom and six miles from Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It is also connected to the other parks through a monorail which runs through the interior of the hotel.

On the other side, guests can enjoy the Electrical Water Pageant and Bay Lake. There is nothing better than staying on site for the complete Disney experience. You can clearly see the Magic Kingdom and the late night fireworks from this Walt Disney World resort.

Orlando Days Inn International
Orlando Days Inn International, one of the nicer cheap Orlando hotels around

There are many kinds of people when it comes to Hotels. Some just want a cheap Orlando hotel that is clean and safe, close to the theme parks. They don’t see the need to spend a lot on a room they basically only sleep in at night.

Most people are surprised at how many nice, cheap Orlando hotels there are right near Disney, Sea World and Universal Studios. Many are right next door to 5 star hotels that charge hundreds per night!

Why spend $250.00 per night at a hotel when within a stone’s throw distance is another chain hotel that only cost $40.00 per night? Again it all depends on the type of person you are, there is no wrong or right to it.
