Disney's Contemporary Resort is one of three hotels on the Magic Kingdom Park monorail loop, making it super easy to get to this Park at any time of the day or night. This is the perfect hotel for guests who like to take it easy in the mornings and then stay in the Parks until late into the evening. Magic Kingdom Park is usually the Park that is open the latest, often closing at 11pm during the summer months. 

And, on nights with extended evening hours, Magic Kingdom Park can stay open until 1am. If you're staying until that late, you'll definitely be grateful for your hotel being just one stop away on the monorail.
