Now there are 13 more reasons to visit Disney’s Contemporary Resort

The Contemporary Resort is one of Disney World’s original hotels. And, we now have 13 more reasons to visit!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Disney’s Contemporary Resort opened on October 1, 1971 making it one of two Disney World opening day resorts (the other being the Polynesian). It falls into the deluxe resort category and sits right outside Magic Kingdom! You cannot miss it due to its A-frame shape, which was very contemporary in the 1970s.

There are plenty of restaurants to choose from at this resort. From upscale dining at California Grill to Chef Mickey’s character breakfast, there are plenty of choices.

Contempo Cafe is the quick-service option at the Contemporary. You can read my review in this post.

The food is pretty great, and the views are unbeatable. I love watching the monorail pass by! Disney is also introducing 13 new menu items. Let’s take a look!

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Do you want a yummy breakfast option? You’re in luck because Contempo Café will have two new items for savory and sweet fans alike. Start your day off with the new Breakfast Flatbread. Or, go for a sweeter beginning with the Minnie Cinnamon Roll dipped in white chocolate. 

As lunch and dinner roll around, try th, updated classic Four-Cheese Grilled Cheese & Tomato-Basil Soup. Or, opt for the new Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It is a crispy chicken breast topped with pepper jack, chipotle rémoulade, arugula, seasoned tomato, and dill pickle chips served on a brioche bun.

Starting at 4 p.m. each day, you’ll be able to sink your teeth into the can’t-miss Signature Rice Bowls. The bowls are a perfect combination of cilantro-lime rice, black beans, street corn, avocado, pico de gallo, carrot, and pickled red onion. Then they are topped with a protein of your choice – grilled shrimp, braised beef, grilled chicken, or plant-based crispy tofu.

Desserts

The pastry chefs have brought their A-game with six – yes, six – new decadent bites. The Monorail S’more Brownie is a nod to the monorail that wizzes by overhead while you dine at Contempo Café. It’s a fudgy brownie with a graham cracker crust topped with marshmallow crème and chocolate décor.

For a fruity flavor, the 5-Legged Goat Fruit Tart. It draws inspiration from the iconic Mary Blair Grand Canyon Concourse mural’s 5-Legged Goat. This bite features a vanilla tart shell filled with raspberry-lemon curd topped with fresh fruit and lemon whipped cream.

The chocolate keeps on coming with the Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums Cupcake. This chocolate cupcake topped with chocolate chip cookie dough mousse is inspired by The Incredibles and their presence throughout Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The new Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar is also sure to satisfy chocolate fans and is plant-based as well as gluten and wheat friendly! 

If cookies are your treat of choice, the new Signature Deluxe Cookies are the move. These three cookies include:

• a Chocolate Chunk Cookie with peanut butter buttercream
• a Churro Cookie with cinnamon buttercream
• and Kitchen Sink Cookie, a chocolate chip cookie with salted caramel, Mickey chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch, and walnuts

While these three will all be available year-round, there will also be a seasonal sugar cookie that will rotate throughout the year.

Finally, get the perfect taste of summer in cookie form with the Strawberry Lemonade Sugar Cookie. This delight, available August 16 through September 30, is topped with strawberry buttercream and patriotic sprinkles.
