Traditionally enjoyed by vacation guests from around the world, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, with its fresh look and expanded convention facilities, now is attracting more association and corporate groups than ever before.

To meet demands for quality meeting space, the landmark, 1,041-room Walt Disney World resort has been expanded to offer more than 120,000 square feet of space, and the existing hotel has been completely renovated.

The convention center, designed by noted architect Gwathmey-Siegal of New York, connects to the Americas Level on the second-floor main building. Focal point of the facility is the Fantasia Ballroom, featuring 44,800 feet of space. It can accommodate 4,670 in theater-style seating or 3,100 for banquets.

The Fantasia Ballroom subdivides into 15 meeting rooms. . . or it can be used for trade shows and exhibitions, accommodating up to 295 8-by-10-foot booths. Convenient truck access, including a loading dock and roll-up doors, permits easy set up and removal of exhibits.

Also located in the main convention center is the 7,068-square-foot Nutcracker Ballroom, which accommodates 850 theater style and 540 in rounds of 10. In total, the new facility can provide up to 23 break-out rooms.

The convention center expansion was combined with an extensive refurbishment of existing convention space, lobby, guest-registration area, guest rooms and suites.

Public areas at the Contemporary have been updated with curved linear shapes, vibrant colors, textures and designs. Indirect lighting opens up the space and sets a modernistic mood.
