Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort

We have grand villa (3 bedrooms) very spacious very clean. Accessible to Magic Kingdom and monorail. Good view of nightly fireworks. Nice pool and you have access to the Contemporary Resort pool next door too. Nothing negative experienced.

The resort is under construction. Take that into consideration. Walkway to MK is incredibly easy. The skybridge was closed, so we had to go through the Contemporary, but it wasn't a huge deal. Since there is so much construction, the elevators took a very long time to come. The end of the evening, we waited up to 30 minutes just to get an elevator. Stayed in an older studio. Well, where to begin? The view was pretty great! Watched fireworks from the balcony. The room is kind of odd. Since we were in an older room, we still had a table to eat on. There is an ok amount of space in the bedroom area. The rest of the room is very oddly shaped and planned out. The kitchen is a galley, with plenty of space. Note that the refrigerator does not include a freezer, which we did not realize. Toaster, micro, etc. dishes, etc. all fine. The bathroom is pretty awful. No place to put things, other than a small amount of shelving next to the sink (kind of high up) and everything just falls into the sink as you are trying to use that area. Frustrating, but we made it work. Overall, the place needs refurbishing, but I believe the configuration of the studio isn't changing. Stayed before in a 2 bedroom, and it was great. WAY more room. The location is wonderful. So, yes, a confusing review.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom using rented points. We loved it! It was very spacious for 6 of us. We were on a low floor, but we had views of Cinderella Castle. We also took advantage of walking to Magic Kingdom which was a big perk. It was not the most convenient walk to get drinks, snacks, and ride the monorail, but it wasn’t too bad. We had a large coffee maker in our room along with all the coffee supplies we needed. It also smelled wonderful in the lobby and halls. I have stayed in many Disney hotels, and I enjoyed this way more than expected. I also loved having a washer and dryer. It would be very nice to stay here long term( but way too expensive). We also went up to the roof to see gorgeous views. My daughter took advantage of the running trail, and we enjoyed the outdoor rec games and craft room.

$1,800/night and they do not clean the room or make the beds. You can rent an AirBnB for less. We were placed in a non-renovated room and it was dingy. Again, ffor $1,800/night!!!! Proximity to the Magic Kingdom is the only reason we stayed here, but never again.

Beautiful hotel, the view of magic kingdom and the fireworks at night were outstanding. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite , it was well appointed with plenty of space. The pool area was nice , but it is starting to look a little worn and is definitely ready for a refresh. It was also sickeningly warm in the water. The rooftop bar/lounge was virtually impossible to get into, which was a little disappointing.

The view of Magic Kingdom is beyond anything I could have hoped for. However, we booked a handicap accessible room. The bed that was lowered was the king bed, and that's the room that had the roll in shower, and that was the only toilet with hand grips. Well, my sister is the person in the wheelchair and her caregiver shouldn't have to sleep in a king-sized bed with her. They were in the double room, and those beds were so high that we had to struggle to get her in and out of bed every night. And then have to take her into the other room to use the shower and restroom. We were in room 8412. The view is spectacular!! The monorail took some getting used to because we had to explain every day to someone who can't understand why the express doesn't stop there and we have to go the other direction and wait for 3 stops before she could go to magic kingdom. We could have walked the 10 mins but she wanted to ride the monorail, so we did. Also, the carpet on the contemporary side is soft... it's great for tired feet and terrible for pushing a 200lbs plus person in a wheelchair. The walkway needs something to help block the rain and wind. The marble floors were very slippery especially pushing the wheelchair.
