If you are looking for uniquely personal service at Walt Disney World, head for the fourteenth floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.  There are two concierge floors at this resort:  the twelfth floor Atrium Club, and the fourteenth floor Tower Club.  The Tower Club has an entirely different ambience from its busy and far larger cousin two levels below.  Because it is the only accommodation floor which is completely closed off from the concourse, it is a calm and secluded oasis.

There are only sixteen units on the entire floor, so each guest is assured of exceptional individual attention from the dedicated concierge staff.  There are no extended waits to speak with a staff member about a dining reservation; you won’t have to fight long lines during the food service periods.  You are part of an elite and fortunate few who will also enjoy the most spectacular view of the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks to be found, outside of the park.  All balconies are party-sized, much deeper than those of the rooms below, and feature chairs, tables, and chaises longues.  Upstairs at the California Grill, dozens of diners will be jostling for sightlines on the crowded balcony, but you can stretch out on your chaise, petit fours and a glass of champagne in hand, and enjoy the show!

With such a small number of units available, reservations are often difficult to come by, particularly during the busier holiday seasons.  Available accommodations include eleven one- and two-bedroom suites, two king-bed rooms, and only three of the standard queen-bed rooms.  If the Tower Club at Disney’s Contemporary Resort sounds like the perfect “home” for your next Walt Disney World vacation, be sure to make your plans early.
