Contemporary $970 RIPOFF

[MickeyLuv'r]

Minor update...

I just watched this guy's video on the new ship that DCL bought and he's a total jagweed. He figured out that bashing Disney gets clicks and views so now he's found his revenue stream.

And he says "weary" when he either meant "wary" or "leery" so he definitely can't be trusted.

Contemporary Concierge still sucks tho.

That was the vibe I got. He mentions casually that his stay was DURING the hurricane. As in, during Ian?

The hurricane that took 61 lives, caused $1.2-1.9 billion worth of damage, and wiped out 1/3 of FL's citrus industry?

And he actually whines that the Tower club level was only serving 2 brands of beer that day?

More context to consider: Tower Club level has a total of 17 rooms, and only 4 are not suites. Of those, only 2 face MK, one is a king-bed room and the other is a handicapped accessible room. The ONLY way to book a Tower level non-suite room is to call WDW, and specifically ASK for them. They are not bookable on the website.

He very specifically sought out a room located in the most remote location on property, during a hurricane. WDW operations were not running anything close to normal.

WDW staff provided all kinds of resort activities during the storm, and he could have covered that. I suspect he booked that room because he wanted to post MK storm damage.

Yeah those new ikea rooms are no good
The old rooms decor and beds were way more comfortable and superior

People trying to justify $970 for the room are the problem with WDW.

While I understand the views of others I'm in a completly different catagory. Every since our first visit in 1977 I've wanted to stay the the Contemporary. Now that I'm finally able to afford a few days there without in putting me in the poor house, I can mark it off my bucket list. Is it too expensive, dang right it is...but for me it's now more about the experience than the cost.

This, right here, is the best response to this thread.

Especially when you can remember that concierge rooms were only ~$300 twenty years ago. 3X increase in such a short time just gobsmacks me.
