Disney’s Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower for Disney Vacation Club Members Update

Translate Into:

Disney Contemporary Resort DVC Tower construction 02 Just a few weeks ago, I posted updated pictures showing how the construction on the new Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort is coming in Walt Disney World.  Two weeks ago, I rode by the new tower on the monorail again, and more changes had been made.  Most of the windows were in place, and it appeared all was on track for a 2009 opening. 

Disney has confirmed more details about the new Disney Vacation Club destination saying it will open in 2009 and will include:

Accommodations: Studio, one, two and three bedroom guest rooms.  All but the studio rooms will include fully equipped kitchens with granite countertops, washer/dryer, separate bedrooms and other features that are meant to craete a real “home” feeling perfect for families. Lobby: Glass encased columns, views of the pool and Bay Lake. Pool: The new Bay Cove pool will be a zero-entry pool with a whirlpool and interactive children’s water feature. Activity Center:  Called Community Hall. Top of the World Lounge: Remember the Top of the World on the 15th floor of the main Contemporary Resort tower?  The name is coming back to a new rooftop lounge, which will include an outdoor deck to view the Magic Kingdom fireworks shows.  The only problem is that Disney is saying access to the Top of the World Lounge will be limited.  No word on exactly what that will mean yet.

What do you think?  I know this Disney Vacation Club resort will have a premium price tag on it, but it sounds like the extra “points” will be worth it!
