DVC Resale Bay Lake Tower
Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort offers unmatched walkability to Magic Kingdom and a sleek, modern design that stands apart from more traditionally themed Disney Vacation Club resorts. With resale prices often lower than newer resorts, it's a smart choice for buyers seeking prime location and long-term value.
The biggest draw? Proximity. Bay Lake Tower is just a 5-minute walk to Magic Kingdom. It also offers direct monorail access to EPCOT via a transfer at the main Contemporary station. If visiting Magic Kingdom multiple times during your stay is a priority, few resorts can compete with the convenience.
The tower itself features spacious studios and villas with kitchenettes or full kitchens, many with Theme Park Views that overlook the fireworks. The design is clean, modern, and more subdued than other resorts—appealing to those who value simplicity and location.
Bay Lake Tower’s private pool area is exclusive to guests of the tower and includes a water slide, zero-entry area, and cabanas. While more compact than some resort pools, it’s peaceful and rarely crowded. Guests also have access to the larger main pool at the Contemporary.
Dining options are a major plus. California Grill at the top of the main tower is one of Disney’s signature restaurants, offering panoramic views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Chef Mickey’s is ideal for families seeking a lively buffet with character appearances. Contempo Café provides quick, high-quality food just steps away.
The resale value of Bay Lake Tower has held steady due to its prime location, relatively long deed expiration (2060), and high demand for Magic Kingdom access. While resale buyers don’t receive Membership Extras, they enjoy full use of the resort and all booking privileges with their points.
If you want to walk to Magic Kingdom, enjoy fireworks views from your balcony, and stay somewhere with upscale dining and easy transportation, Bay Lake Tower is a top pick.
