At Disney’sContemporary Resort: Food at the
Touch of a Screen At New Contempo Cafe
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Quick-service eats
go high tech at the new Contempo Cafe in the
Grand Canyon Concourse at Disney’s
Contemporary Resort. Walt Disney World
guests peruse the menu on electronic boards
with color photos, then place orders at
touch screens and head directly to a
cashier. Seating is in a casual 147-seat
dining area with red and blue accents and
views of the Disney monorail passing through
the famous hotel, and a 9-story mural with
18,000 hand-painted tiles by artist and
Disney Legend Mary Blair.
A pager blinks when food is ready for pickup
at the counter. Thin-crust pizzas, hearty
deli sandwiches on ciabatta and house-made
soups of the day are among selections, as
well as a healthful grilled mahi sandwich
with citrus-apple slaw or vegetable bake
with feta cheese. Open for breakfast, lunch
and dinner, there also is a “grab ‘n go”
area with drinks, salads and fresh fruit.
Prices are not on menu boards but on the
touch screens, where guests can order in
Spanish or English. Diners can choose a
salad with dressing on the side, for
instance, different kinds of cheeses for
burgers, or salad or chips with sandwiches.
Contempo Cafe is open from 7 a.m.-10 p.m.,
serving breakfast until 11 a.m. The “grab
‘n go” is open 6 a.m.-midnight. The
restaurant is part of Disney’s Contemporary
Resort revitalization that includes the new
Wave restaurant on the first floor and a new
game arcade and refurbishment of the Outer
Rim lounge on the fourth floor concourse.
