Disney World Contemporary Resort Map (Printable PDF)

Below is a map of Disney's Contemporary Resort, the deluxe resort at Walt Disney World located near Magic Kingdom that the monorail goes through. The Contemporary was one of the two original resort hotels built for the Walt Disney World Resort along with Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. This is one of the best Disney World hotels based on transportation if you want to stay near Magic Kingdom!

This modern resort doesn't have as heavy theming as other Disney World Resorts but features Disney touches like a 90-foot mural by Mary Blair celebrating the Grand Canyon and the American Southwest and recently refurbished rooms with Incredibles theming. It is home to dining experiences like the popular California Grill with a view of the fireworks, recreation including the Feature Pool with a 17-foot-high curving waterslide and Bay Lake Pool, and the opportunity to view the Electrical Water Pageant from the shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Below, we will take you through an overview of the Disney's Contemporary Resort map and highlight the location of dining, shopping, recreation offerings, etc. For more Disney World maps, see our full Walt Disney World maps page for maps of the theme parks, water parks, other resorts, and Disney Springs.
