    "Contemporary's primo location just two minutes by train "

    Huh? When did that change? Last time I was there, the two minute train DID NOT STOP but rather continued to MK. If you want the monorail to MK from Contemporary, you have to go to the TTC, Poly, Grand Floridian first. Then MK.

    Okay it's two minutes COMING back, but the article implies to get there.

    I'm just curious how you get to 4 theme parks by monorail? Did I miss a route or two?

    i was going to assume that the author was referring to a monorail jump to the TTC then a bus transfer to the parks but it does clearly say, "With four theme parks a monorail ride away and the Downtown Disney entertainment area on the bus route, it's not surprising that attractions at the hotel are limited."

    guess that one slipped past and editor and right onto the errors and omissions page. ;)

    ahh yes, that monorail! I think you board that monorail at the California Grill on platform 9 3/4.

    I was wondering about the stops at four parks...it's been a while since I've made it to the Florida parks, so I thought maybe there had been some changes. I guess facts aren't as important as they once were! ;D
