Is staying at Disney's Contemporary Resort worth the extra cost?
What is amazing about staying at Disney's Contemporary Resort? I am asking for your expert help as I need to make a very a quick decision!
Availability was just offered at the convention rate to stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort during my upcoming business trip + solo touring at WDW. Is 8 days at Disney's Contemporary Resort worth an extra $1400+ out of pocket??
I have a convention at WDW the first week of October 2017. I booked offsite because nothing was available onsite at the convention rate for the days I wanted. I just checked the convention site again and they now have availability with an amazing rate at Disney's Contemporary Resort. I am currently booked offsite in a 1-bedroom condo for 9 nights and reserved a rental car. If I change my reservation to Disney's Contemporary Resort, I will need to cover the extra amount out of pocket due to my employers reimbursement guidelines. I am planning to get an AP, so parking costs are not a factor.
Pros:
First time staying at Monorail hotel
First time staying at a hotel with Monorail running through it!
Walking distance to Magic Kingdom
Deluxe Disney Resort!
Convention has bus transportation from Contemporary to event
Cons:
Less budget for 2018 trip
Off-site condo has kitchen - staying at Contemporary means more out of pocket costs for meals
Off-site condo has washer/dryer - I would need to set aside time to wash clothes and/or pack more (extra luggage costs)
Convention parking is at ESPN w/ Bus transportation to event, to help me cover the extra cost I could cancel my rental car
What have I missed?? If you have stayed at Disney's Contemporary Resort before - would you want to go back for a week? Why do you love Disney's Contemporary Resort?
Thank you in advance!
