Last week I had the opportunity to spend a few days with my entire family and some friends at WDW. My family are Disney Vacation Club Members and the Bay Lake Towers at the Contemporary is a Vacation Club resort (however anyone can stay at the Bay Lake Towers based on availability.)
The benefit of the Bay Lake Towers and the Contemporary Hotel is both the proximity to the Magic Kingdom and that it's on the Magic Kingdom Monorail line.
The room type we had at the Bay Lake Towers is called the 3-bedroom Grand Villa with a theme park view. The alternative view is of Bay Lake and the pools/activity area. The first floor of the room has a full kitchen, living room, laundry room, master bedroom with master bath and a second full bath in the living area. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and each has a full bath and double beds. There's a loft area on the second floor with a sleeper sofa.

The views from the room were spectacular because there were floor to ceiling windows. The view from our room looked onto the Magic Kingdom and you could see iconic figures like Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain.
The room was really comfortable.

Master Bedroom
One of the best parts of the room in my opinion was the perfect view of the fireworks from the park. I love fireworks, I hate crowds. From the room you could sit on the balcony and enjoy the show.
I really enjoyed the Bay Lake Towers and even as a non Disney Vacation Club member I would stay at the Contemporary Bay Lake Towers if I was visiting The Magic Kingdom.

Wow looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, most impressive
Stacey,
Do they provide a TV channel with the music for the fireworks?
Tip: Any DVC member (regardless of where your home resort is) can access the bar at the top of Bay Lake Towers by checking in with the concierge. This is a great view of the fireworks and generally isn’t crowded.
The view is amazing. Now, for the question of the day, did VGP cook in the kitchen?
We have been DVC for 16 years now (Old Key West was the only property then) and Bay Lake has become our favorite for proximity and amenities. We go down at least once a year for the Marathon and stay at Beach Club first as we run right by there at the end of the race, then switch to Bay lake for the remainder of the week. If you go to the House of Mouse often, you can’t beat DVC for the value.
@Scott H yes, there is a channel on TV with the music. Good tip!
@Dan Morgan, wow, 16 years! Amazing
Thanks. Kids grew up on each trip. We have a picture of my don with Chip and Dale almost every year till he was 21.
