    We have stayed at almost every resort – but this one just busts my budget. Maybe I need to figure out how to do it for at least one night! And something else that we've never managed to do – see the water pageant. I am thinking a research trip is in order ๐Ÿ™‚

    All the resorts look like so much fun! Watching the night time parade on the lagoon is always a highlight for us as well.

      So true- and these balcony rooms at the Contemporary allow you to hear the music as well!

    The water parade looks very cool, although I'll confess that it took me a few minutes to identify the octopus. I kept trying to figure out what COS stood for.

    This was our first resort and will always be a favorite! I loved having Chef Mickey's right there and hopping on the monorail! The pool is so relaxing! One night we watched the Water Parade from the pool! Loved it!

    Well, I've never thought the Contemporary would be my first Deluxe choice… but I think you just sold me!! You should be in Disney Marketing ๐Ÿ˜‰

    What a cool water parade shot.

      I think this entire Hop should be registered with The Walt Disney Company ;).
