Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort

This Resort hotel is undergoing refurbishments

As our Guest room refurbishments continue, you may see or hear construction during daytime hours. All resort amenities will remain available for your enjoyment.

Select recreation offerings, amenities and services at Bay Lake Tower, including Top of the World Lounge, are temporarily unavailable.

From January 9, 2023 through early April 2023, the Feature Pool and whirlpool spas will be closed for refurbishment. The water play area and Bay Lake Pool will remain open for your enjoyment. You may see and hear construction noise while this refurbishment is underway, but you should not hear noise from Guest rooms between dusk and 9:00 AM. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We have taken enhanced health and safety measures. Follow all posted instructions while visiting Walt Disney World Resort. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. View important details.
