When Walt and Roy Disney dreamed of a magical new future at Walt Disney World Resort, part of that vision became reality with Disney’s Contemporary Resort. With the Monorail running right through its A-frame tower, the resort was an instant icon at The Most Magical Place on Earth – a tribute to the future of imagination and progress.
As Walt Disney World prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary this October, Walt Disney Imagineering is continuing to build on the optimistic spirit of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, enhancing the retro-modern aesthetic evoking Tomorrowland … with a dash of something Incredible, too.
Currently all nine floors of guest rooms in the tower are being completely refurbished, and here’s a first look at the new décor debuting this fall. As you can see, these rooms will blend a sleek Monorail motif with some favorite characters from Pixar Animation Studios’ Incredibles films, including Jack-Jack, Frozone and Edna Mode. New custom artwork in guest rooms and along guest corridors will be modern, futuristic and oh so stylish, dahling, complementing the resort’s architecture while putting the Supers’ powers on display.
In the lobby, you’ll soon see a collection of modern art
pieces as well as historical, behind-the-scenes photographs of Disney’s
Contemporary Resort in development and under construction. The resort’s lobby
restaurant, The Wave… of American Flavors, will also soon close to make way for
a reimagined dining experience in time for the Walt Disney World 50th
anniversary celebration. And once the tower guest rooms are complete, work will
begin on the rooms inside the Garden Wing out on the shore of Bay Lake.
All the excitement at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is part
of the ongoing evolution of the Disney Resorts Collection at Walt Disney World,
where the magic you find in our theme parks extends to every moment of your
vacation. We’ll have more to share on this project in the months to come as we
get ready for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” beginning Oct. 1, so keep
checking back with us here at the Disney Parks Blog for all the details.
