Disney World has made changes to its hotels over the past several years. Disney debuted newly re-themed Moana guest rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, but there’s also been quite a lot going on at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Back in 2021, the hotel debuted a newly refurbished lobby area with Mary Blair-inspired designs along with the new restaurant, Steakhouse 71. The resort’s rooms have also been re-themed to Pixar’s The Incredibles and now we’re sharing a FULL tour of one of these updated rooms with you!
We got a first look at these rooms over the summer, but we were thrilled to finally check these out in person!
Before we even get to the inside of the room though, let’s check out the hallway areas, as the theming truly starts there.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
In the hallways leading to the refurbished rooms, you’ll find some bright red and orange carpet with a variety of circles and other shapes, giving it a futuristic but still colorful look.
A Look at the Carpet
The hallways are also lined with new artwork featuring the famous super family from The Incredibles!
Some New Art
As you’re walking to your room, you may pass by artwork of Mr. Incredible…
Hey, It’s Mr. Incredible!
…Mrs. Incredible (Elastigirl)…
Elastigirl
…and more.
The Incredibles
And yes, those are monorails featured in some of the artwork!
Some of the Art
Disney had previously noted that the rooms would “blend a sleek Monorail motif with some favorite characters from Pixar Animation Studios’ “Incredibles” films,” and it seems that theme is carried out throughout the hallway spaces as well.
A Peek at the Artwork
The artwork features more of those shapes and sharp angles built into them, mixing futuristic design with vibrant color schemes. Along the hallway, you’ll also find stripes of colors, very much in the shape of a monorail stripe.
A Look at the Hallway
Once you’ve made your way down the hallway and over to your room, it’s time to check out the Incredible theming inside.

We’ll start with the closet. From the outside, it might look relatively typical, though that vibrant red on the doors hint at the fun details inside.
The Closet Doors Closed
When you open up the closet doors, you’ll find a fantastically themed space!
The Closet
There’s the typical space for you to hang your clothes, hangars, a place for you to rest your luggage, and some storage space. But, most importantly there’s amazing theming showing the super suits and shoes of the members of The Incredibles sharing the closet space with your own clothes!
A Look at the Closet
And don’t forget to look on the top part of the closet! That’s where you’ll find images of the Incredibles’ eyewear and gloves. These details built into the room make the space really fun.
Top of the Closet
Opening up the closet doors to reveal the details hidden behind makes for a really fun moment.

In the closet space, you’ll also find an extra pillow/blanket…

…and a steamer.
The Steamer
The room also features a safe…

…a blow dryer, and more storage space.
More of the Room
Our room also came with some water…

…as well as a bin for ice.

The theming behind this space is fun as you see the silhouettes of more drinks and bottles behind the real ones in the room.
Drink Area
If you’re a big coffee fan, you’ll be happy to know the room has a coffee area with a Keurig machine…
Coffee Area
…as well as coffee cups, coffee pods, sugar, and creamer.
Coffee Supplies
And yes, those are 50th Anniversary Joffrey’s Coffee cups! Even if you’re not staying at a Disney World resort, you can buy the special 50th Anniversary blend of Joffrey’s coffee in a regular pouch or as K-Cups in Disney World, so be sure to look for that.
50th Anniversary Coffee!
We especially love the theming by the coffee bar, which features references to the film, including a mug with Edna Mode’s signature hair and the word “mode.” What other easter eggs and details do you spot?

Next we’ll move to the bathroom. Here’s where you really see some of that monorail theming really come in.
Bathroom
There’s a fun monorail design featured on the mirror in the bathroom.
Bathroom
The bathroom also features 2 sinks, several towels, Disney’s signature H2O+ bathroom products, and a good amount of storage space under the sinks.

Next to the sinks is a shower/tub combo.
Inside the Shower Area
This space features more of those fan-favorite H2O+ products (these are locked into the wall)…

…and 2 shower heads.

There is a toilet area in the bathroom in one corner. This space features the toilet…

There’s also some artwork in this space showing the many talents and versions of Jack-Jack, including a Jack-Jack dressed as Edna Mode!
Towels
And finally, we get to the main room space!
The Room
In the room you’ll find 2 beds on elevated platforms. There’s plenty of space underneath the beds for storage of your backpacks, luggage, etc. And the angled legs give it a retro/modern feel.
The Bed
The beds have a grey backboard behind them…
The Beds
…and pillows that feature the Incredibles’ masks in a variety of colors.
Pillows
The beds themselves are quite plain in terms of their comforters and pillows — both just white in color. But the pillows add that small pop of color.
Beds
Near the beds you’ll find chargers — both traditional and USB ports — making it easy to charge your phones, cameras, etc. right next to your bed as you’re getting ready to sleep.
Chargers Near the Beds
One of our favorite details in the room are the lamps that sit between the beds!
The Lamp
These lamps again feature that monorail design, combining the Incredibles theme with the Contemporary’s focus on the monorail.
Another Look at the Lamp
Between the beds you’ll find a central nightstand.
Here’s a Look at the Beds
Even if you never store anything in the nightstand at all, this is one feature you’ll want to open!
Nightstand
When you open the drawer for the nightstand, you’ll find some adorable details, including images of a to-do list, a familiar math book, cookie crumbles, sunglasses, and a very special remote!
Inside the Nightstand
On the side of the room opposite the beds, you’ll find a TV, a couch, and some tables.
TV and Couch Space
And peep that futuristic looking lamp in the corner!
What a Fun Lamp!
The lamp has such a fun design, adding again to that sort-of modern yet retro design.
The Lamp
The couch itself folds down so it can be utilized as another sleeping space in the room.
Folded Down Couch
That is a nice added feature for those traveling with a larger group.
The Couch
To one side of the couch, you’ll find a small table with the remote for the TV, details about Disney’s enhanced hotel cleaning process, and more.
Enhanced Cleaning Details and More
Underneath the table is an ottoman you can pull out for additional seating in the room.
The Ottoman
In the room, you’ll also find a trash and recycling bin…

…the temperature controls for the room…

…and a mini fridge with a nice clear front so you can store your items and keep them cool.

Moving on to the window and balcony space, the unique curvature of the opening here really adds to that retro-futuristic vibe that permeates throughout the entire space.
The Window and Balcony Space
On the heavier curtain, you’ll find images in red and grey of Jack-Jack…
Jack-Jack!
…Dash…

…Frozone, and more.
The Curtain and Room
On the lighter curtain behind it, there are circles that contain the Incredibles logo…
The Second Curtain
…and more images of this fun super hero family!

Ready to step out onto the balcony? Well, if you’re looking to enjoy some fresh air, you can open the large sliding door and step out into this space.
The Balcony
There are some chairs and a small table on the balcony.
The Balcony
It’s the best place to sit back, relax, and just enjoy the view!
What a View Indeed
What do you think? Is this an incredible room transformation? According to Disney, all 9 floors of the guest rooms in the tower are being completely refurbished. Once the tower guest rooms are complete, work is set to begin on the rooms inside the Garden Wing out on the shore of Bay Lake.

The rooms used to have a full size table and chair next to the beds. Now it looks like there’s just room for the 2 beds and then no other space. Why do the rooms look so much smaller? Did they take away some of the length of the room for some reason? They were so spacious before and now just look completely cramped.
Please explain to me how a monorail and an Incredibles theme go together. That room has such a clash of styles, I couldn’t stay there for more than a few minutes.
No Thanks ! Love a modern theme… but…who picks this style?? This is very UGLY…cheap looking, not classy & too bright ….Yuck !!
Hope they don’t ruin BLT ??!!
I always loved staying at the contemporary resort…the new rooms look great, I hope they still have the tv’s built into the bathroom mirrors… now that is cool, or should I say Incredible….
I am so happy to see these changes!
Ken, I see what you did there…
I think it looks like a value resort and not one of the flagship luxury resorts. I rarely complain about room upgrades or anything for that matter, but I think this is a misstep.
You might as well stay at art of animation or all stars. It’s cartoons and very cheaply done. I hate it. If you check out the rest of the deluxe hotels, they are tastefully done.!!!
Love it. The Contemporary has been my White Whale since I was an 8 year-old in 1979. This is perfect. No Incredibles slander should be allowed!
We stayed there in Sept and loved it. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a huge walk in shower. The view of the park is what we paid for though.
