Bay Lake Tower combines sleek, modern design with unmatched proximity to Magic Kingdom. Connected to Disney’s iconic Contemporary Resort by a skybridge, this DVC-exclusive property offers stunning views of Bay Lake and Cinderella Castle, plus easy monorail access to the parks. With spacious villas, a private rooftop lounge, and a lakeside pool, Bay Lake Tower is the perfect blend of style, convenience, and Disney enchantment.
Opening in August 2009, Bay Lake Tower was designed as a sleek, modern complement to Disney’s Contemporary Resort—one of the original icons of Walt Disney World. Built exclusively for Disney Vacation Club Members, this elegant addition brought a new level of luxury and convenience to the Magic Kingdom resort area.
Rising beside the original A-frame Contemporary building, Bay Lake Tower was crafted with minimalist architecture, clean lines, and floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize views of Cinderella Castle and Bay Lake. Its unique crescent-shaped design and skybridge connection to the main resort make it both architecturally distinctive and functionally seamless for guests.
Inside, the villas offer a modern take on Disney accommodations, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and touches of futuristic design that reflect the Contemporary’s mid-century modern heritage. The resort also introduced exclusive amenities for DVC guests, including a private pool area and Top of the World Lounge, offering stunning views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks.
Today, Bay Lake Tower stands as one of the most sought-after locations for Disney Vacation Club Members—celebrated for its upscale comforts, unbeatable location, and front-row access to the most magical place on earth.
