Quick Verdict: Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa vs Disney's Contemporary Resort

When Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa wins: choose Westgate if you need multi-bedroom villas, private-style living for families or groups, wide on-site recreation (seven pools, Treasure Cove Water Park, mini golf) and a full-service spa while keeping a budget-friendly profile outside the Disney monorail loop.

When Disney's Contemporary Resort wins: pick the Contemporary for the unique Disney experience—an A-frame tower with a monorail running through it, shorter transfers to Magic Kingdom, Disney restaurants and immersive Disney service and perks.

Bottom line: Westgate Lakes is a better fit for larger groups and travelers who want resort activities and villa space; Contemporary is the pick for park-first visitors who value proximity to Magic Kingdom and the monorail connection.

  • Address: 9500 Turkey Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819.
  • Complimentary scheduled shuttle to Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Studios; no airport shuttle.
  • Near International Drive attractions, mini golf and restaurants; drives to parks are typical for guests.

  • Address: 4600 N World Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830.
  • About a 4-minute walk to Walt Disney World Resort areas listed in supplier notes and a very short walk to Magic Kingdom entrances per supplier listing.
  • On-site Disney transportation options and monorail station provide direct park links.

Choose the Contemporary for the shortest, simplest access to Magic Kingdom and Disney transport.

Rooms: Villa space vs Guest rooms

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Rooms

Westgate Lakes offers villa-style units from studios to multi-bedroom villas for families and groups.

  • Room types include Studio (Villa), Room (Resort Select), Deluxe Villa 1 Bedroom, and Villa 2–4 Bedrooms (and up to five-bedroom options per resort materials).
  • Some villas sleep very large groups — advertised units can accommodate up to eighteen guests.
  • Villas include kitchen or kitchenette options and living space suitable for longer stays and group travel.

If you need kitchens and multi-bedroom space, Westgate’s villas are the practical choice.

Disney's Contemporary Resort – Rooms

Disney's Contemporary offers standard hotel guestrooms in an A-frame/modernist tower; room categories are hotel-style rather than villa apartments.

  • The supplier listing shows 1,008 guestrooms with daily housekeeping.
  • Rooms include standard conveniences such as safes, desks and cable programming; complimentary Wi-Fi is available.
  • Room-service and on-site dining available though some services are surcharge-based or limited hours.

The Contemporary suits park-focused stays where full kitchens or multi-bedroom villas aren’t required.

Dining & drinks: Casual family options vs Disney restaurants

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

Westgate Lakes centers on casual, family-friendly dining across multiple outlets and pool bars.

  • Drafts Sports Bar & Grill (sports-brewpub style), Sid’s Bistro (Starbucks coffee and ice cream), Cordovano Joe’s Pizza, Marketplace & Deli and multiple pool bars.
  • In-room delivery from Cordovano Joe’s and buffet/quick options near pools and water park.
  • Many outlets are casual and family-oriented with long opening hours; reservations accepted at some venues.

Pick Westgate for variety of casual, family-oriented and convenient food choices on property.

Disney's Contemporary Resort – Dining & drinks

Disney's Contemporary has multiple on-site restaurants and lounges with Disney-themed dining options.

  • Supplier listing notes three restaurants, a coffee shop/cafe and two bars/lounges; cooked-to-order breakfasts available for a surcharge.
  • Room service available during limited hours; poolside and lounge options for drinks.
  • Dining is geared to guest convenience and Disney character/brand connections at select venues (check supplier for current offerings).

Choose the Contemporary for classic Disney dining and the convenience of on-site restaurants within the resort loop.

Pools & signature amenity: Treasure Cove vs Monorail access

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Pools & signature amenity

Westgate’s signature amenity is its on-property Treasure Cove Water Park alongside numerous pools and hot tubs.

  • Seven heated outdoor pools, seven hot tubs and multiple children's wading pools across the resort.
  • Treasure Cove Water Park is a 161,000-gallon pirate-themed water park with slides, wave pool and lazy river — guest access requires a separate paid admission.
  • Pools have long operating hours (resort lists general pool hours and specific pool schedules) and multiple poolside bars.

Westgate is a strong choice if an on-site water park and lots of pool options matter to your trip.

Disney's Contemporary Resort – Pools & signature amenity

Disney's Contemporary’s most-used advantage is proximity and direct transport to Magic Kingdom via monorail rather than a large on-site water park.

  • Supplier listing shows two outdoor pools, one hot tub and a children’s pool for guests.
  • Resort location and Disney transport simplify park days and reduce transfer time to Magic Kingdom.
  • Guests use Disney water parks and pools across the Walt Disney World complex if desired.

Pick Contemporary if immediate park access via monorail is your top priority rather than an on-site water park.

Wellness & nightlife

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Wellness & nightlife

Westgate offers a full-service spa and active recreation options alongside casual nightlife at on-site bars.

  • Serenity Spa by Westgate: 10,000 sq ft, 12 treatment rooms, sauna, steam room and kids’ spa services; open daily 9:30 AM–6:00 PM.
  • Fitness center and scheduled classes, plus on-site activities like mini golf, tennis, volleyball and marina rentals.
  • Casual evening options include Drafts Sports Bar & Grill and poolside bars with TV and live-sport viewing.

If spa treatments, fitness classes and active recreation are important, Westgate covers them thoroughly.

Disney's Contemporary Resort – Wellness & nightlife

Disney's Contemporary provides fitness and sauna facilities and Disney nightlife options nearby across the resort area.

  • Supplier listing includes a health club and sauna; specific full-service spa details are not published in the supplier listing.
