We are trying to decide between CBR and the Contemporary Resort for our upcoming trip with two young children under 6.
We have stayed at CBR many years ago, pre-Skyline and it was not our favourite - but have since stayed at the POP post-Skyliner and it was a game-changer! We have never stayed at the Contemporary or any other monorail resort.
On this trip, the price difference between the two resorts is approx. ~800.00; it would be a CBR preferred room vs. Contemporary garden wing (water view) room.
In favour of the Contemporary is obviously the easy walking access to MK (especially with a double stroller and post-firework crowds for young children!), our kids' love of the monorail, compact size, proximity to the other monorail resorts for dining and we would plan to spend most of our time at MK and Epcot (with park hopper tickets). We also do genuinely enjoy the "theming" of the Contemporary and our kids are at an age where theming does not matter to them at all.
In favour of CBR is the lower cost, larger pool and Skyliner.
With cost being the biggest downside - if you have stayed at both/either, what would you do? Would the upgrade be worth the additional cost? Any thoughts or considerations would be very much appreciated!
