An architectural icon — the only resort where the monorail runs directly through the building.

Magic Kingdom Area
Disney's Contemporary Resort is one of the most architecturally distinctive hotels in the world — a bold A-frame tower through which the Magic Kingdom monorail passes on its way to the park.
The resort's Tower rooms offer some of the most dramatic views on property — Magic Kingdom fireworks visible from private balconies, and the monorail gliding silently through the Grand Canyon Concourse below. The Garden Wing offers a more affordable entry point to the Contemporary experience.
California Grill on the 15th floor is one of Walt Disney World's premier dining destinations, offering panoramic views of Magic Kingdom and a menu that changes with the seasons. The restaurant dims its lights during the nightly fireworks show, allowing guests to watch from the observation deck.
