FROG FAMILY REVIEW
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort*
What we love
- Spectacular views of Magic Kingdom® Park, Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon
- One of the most convenient villas on property with some of the newest, nicest rooms
- Sleek, minimalist design and vibrant Disney-themed art
- Walking path to Magic Kingdom® Park, the quickest way to get there (10-minute walk); monorail access to Epcot® via the Sky Way Bridge
- Great shopping in the 4th floor Tower stores at the main resort hotel
- Character dining with Mickey and the gang at Chef Mickey's
- Multiple table-service dining options, including one of the best restaurants on property at California Grill
- Watching the fireworks from park view rooms and the observation deck at California Grill
- On-site tennis and volleyball courts
- Free parking!
Keep in Mind
- Hotel charges $33 per night (sales tax included) for valet parking
- Minimalist theming doesn't feel very "Disneyish" (aside from artwork)
- Among the most expensive Deluxe Resort Villas on property
- Theme Park View includes the parking lot
- Pool doesn't have a discernible theme, other than modern
- Deluxe studios only sleep 4 plus an infant in a crib; some of the other deluxe villas sleep 5
Notable Facts
- The Top of the World Lounge on the 16th floor is exclusive to Disney Vacation Club members staying at Bay Lake
- Bay Lake Tower was the last work of architect Charles Gwathmey
- The award-winning California Grill underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2013, adding a sleek design and lighting, onstage kitchen, sushi bar and more than 250 wine selections
Frog Family Tips
- For the shortest transport time, walk to Magic Kingdom® Park, but take the monorail back to the hotel
- For transport to Epcot®, take the Monorail to Transportation and Ticket Center and then transfer to the Epcot® line
- Consider upgrading to a Theme Park View; request a higher floor for a better view of Wishes Nighttime Spectacular
- If you're watching Wishes Nighttime Spectacular, turn to channel 20 to hear the show
- If you're dining at California Grill on the 15th floor of the Tower, watch Wishes Nighttime Spectacular from the roof viewing area; earlier diners can show their receipt and come back up for the show
Best For
- Families, especially larger families, who appreciate modern design, being right next to Magic Kingdom® Park and on the monorail, and plenty of amenities
