Hi all!
Might be checking another hotel off my list- Contemporary!
I have a main tower water view— anything I should consider when making a room request? Any floors better than others? Going to bring a white noise machine for Chef Mickeys, I read that could be a problem.
Or any other contemporary must dos? It’s a quick trip!
Thanks!
Well, I see no other responses to your post, so let me give (hopefully) a balanced response. We stayed in the main tower a year ago, and yes in retrospect I probably will not stay there again. It was CM’s music I could hear while in the room. It wasn’t THAT bad, but it also wasn’t something I was expecting either. Still it was a place I always wanted to stay and glad I did. Its a great location, great access to off-park dining IMHO, and good access to Disney transportation. I did not notice any difference in floors. We were on the 4th floor park view. Sort of wish we were on the water-view side as I personally thought that was a nicer view than the parking lot. 
Plus, I did notice that at the very end of some floors on the MK park side of the Tower there were benches outside to sit on while if you wanted to watch the evening fire works. I thought that was a neat thing to have available.
Thank you!
Yes— my kids have been asking to stay there and I always thought it would be cool. I’ll def bring a white noise machine.
Good to know about floors not really mattering. I might not request a room.
There has been discussion on this before but I couldn’t find the topic.
I recall several liners recommending to stay away from the Chef Mickeys end of the building due to noise regardless of floor. Higher floors provide a better view of the lake. The sunset and early mornings are stunning! Center of the building is more unobstructed, towards the north end you start getting closer to BLT.
Personally I would prefer a room half way between the elevators and north / BLT end of the building on the highest floor possible.
I’ve stayed about half way between the elevators and the south end once and on that occasion I did not have a problem with noise (I’m quite sensitive to it). View was amazing. Also stayed club level once in a similar location, but I think that floor is more enclosed which reduces any noise coming from the atrium.
Thanks! So is Chef Mickey the opposite side. The side away from Bay Lake?
Yes, assuming you mean Bay Lake Tower not the lake itself.
Chef Mickey is on the south side, Bay Lake Tower is to the north.
Thanks- yes that’s what I mean. So picking a high floor near bay lake tower, I’ll be away from Chef Mickeys.
yea exactly
View from the center / next to elevators:
View from north / BLT end:
not exactly comparable photos, but you get the idea
That makes sense- thank you!
