Nearly 38 years after Disney’s Contemporary Resort opened its doors, its modern Disney Vacation Club addition, Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, welcomed guests. All 15 stories of the ultra-sleek design continue the original building’s iconic style, which opened with the Magic Kingdom theme park on October 1, 1971. Proximity to the Magic Kingdom continually proves to be among the resort’s most popular “amenities,” allowing families to easily return to their rooms for quick breaks from their busy day in the park.

Bay Lake Tower takes that experience one step further, adding the conveniences of “home” to this world-class vacation destination. Most rooms feature full kitchens complete with granite countertops and modern appliances, separate bedrooms, washers and dryers, and other home-like amenities that will add even more comfort and convenience to the unique experience offered by Disney’s Contemporary Resort. 

Bay Lake Tower complements the strong horizontal lines of the original, while adding its own unique touches, including a fireworks viewing deck, a rooftop lounge, a lakeside pool, community hall and more. A sky bridge links the tower to the original resort’s monorail station, restaurants and shops.  After checking in at the original resort, guests’ first glimpse of the tower’s interior is the lobby area filled with woven woods, glass-wrapped columns, dramatic lighting and modern artwork.

Recreation:

Swimming: Nestled in the shadow of Bay Lake Tower, the resort’s zero entry pool, Bay Cove Pool, includes a water slide, separate whirlpool spa and an interactive children’s water feature, all overlooking picturesque Bay Lake. There is a pool bar located nearby. Towels are available poolside. Cabana rentals are available. Call 407-WDW-PLAY. For more information, visit the Contemporary Resort page.

Bay Lake Tower’s crescent-shaped tower boasts some of the most dramatic Walt Disney World views available, offering open sightlines to an amenity-filled courtyard, the picturesque lakefront or one of the most beloved theme parks on Earth. The view is equally appealing on the other side, with rich woods and warm fabrics complementing interior spaces and creating a welcoming, family-friendly environment.
