Cabana at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

September 18, 2013 | Disney, Travel

On Monday, my friends and I rented a pool cabana at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

You can rent for 4 hours or the whole day(10:00-2:00 is the first time slot) for $110 or $185 plus tax and we tipped as well. They had Cabanas by the main pool and then two out by Bay Lake by a quieter pool which is where we were located.

It was so great having the nice breeze blowing across the lake, and having a ceiling fan underneath. Our cabana host also closed one side of the tent for us to block out the sun.

The cabana comes with drinks in the refrigerator and a small fruit plate. There is also a television, and an iPod docking station with USB connector.

There were two padded lounge chairs, and two lounge beds that were big enough for two people each.

You can order drinks from the bar, food from the poolside counter service location, or even from private dining (takes more time). I had an amazing drink from the new bar menus you may see at the Disney resort pools.

You can have up to four people in your cabana, so it isn’t that expensive if you have some friends or another couple to share it with. We really enjoyed the quiet as well as the view from our cabana.

It was nice to be able to enjoy the sun then get in the shade under the fan when I needed a break. There is wi-fi at the pool so you can even bring your laptop.

    I think it’d be great if I spent the whole day by the pool, especially for some post marathon time. But $110 is a lot and I’d rather spend it on dinner or lunch… or another night at the hotel!

      if you have 4 people sharing it’s only $35 a person, and comes with a fruit tray and drinks so that can be breakfast 🙂

    How fun! You totally have me dreaming of sunshine! It’s starting to get colder here and I already miss the summer!

      too funny it’s still super hot here!

    Well like you said, if you are with a small group or another couple, it is actually a pretty good deal. Talk about doing the Contemporary in style!

    • Heather says

      September 20, 2013 at 6:14 am

      exactly. So fun!

  7. Becky says

    September 18, 2013 at 10:56 am

    After a long run, I think that would be great, and $110 isn’t too bad if you’re splitting it between 4 people.

    • Heather says

      September 20, 2013 at 6:14 am

      no not back at all!

    We are in Vegas for 6 weeks, and I have been VERY tempted to rent a cabana at many of the hotels, minus – on the strip they are EXPENSIVE. Two of our friends out here got free tickets to supposedly one of the best – $4,000 cabana rental for a day. Turns out it was weird and not as fun as one would think for paying that.

    We might be renting at the old part of Vegas as their prices are much more doable and normal . I would jump on them if they were that price you paid! Hmm.. girls weekend during PHM 2014? ?

    • Heather says

      September 20, 2013 at 5:59 am

      WOW that is super expensive!

      • Ashley says

        September 20, 2013 at 6:50 am

        I know! I keep looking at my husband and saying ” see this is why Disney is better”

        But here for work and unfortunately – work doesn’t send us to Disney lol.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
