Great views of Magic Kingdom and amazing view of the fireworks (we were in 7710). Walking distance to Magic Kingdom and on the monorail . California grill is excellent.

Arlyne Chin

Love this place! It's worth it to spend a little more for a park view and watch the fireworks from your room. The grand villas are amazing and my favorite at WDW.

Kasey B

If you stay here - request an upper floor. The views are fantastic! Here is the Electric Boat Parade on the lake after 10pm.

Kathleen Carnegie

Great resort to stay at. Try to get the 5th floor so that you don't have to use the elevator to get to the bridge between Bay Lake and Contemporary proper.

Dan Richman

Leave a nice tip under your pillow for the maids and they will make you a little surprise!

Patti LeBrun

The resort is amazing! Monorails to the parks , perfect view of the castle and fireworks at Magic Kingdom every night. Very relaxing and fun at the same time. I Highly recommend it here!

Monica Brockmann

Great resort , can't beat the location. Have dinner at Chef Mickey's and get all the photo ops with the characters,the front desk at BLT could be better staffed.

Eve Cerny-Vanderpool

Went w patio room (7138) facing the marina . Close to both pools, movies under the stars, views of Contemporary , Water Parade + the kids can run outside while we relax. A +++ for parents w small kids!

Lexie Liberator

Every night at 10:10 there Is a light show on the lake by the resort pool. The show is only for bay lake,contemp, and GF resorts . Very beautiful & happens everynight after the fireworks

Room service after a long day was reasonable, fast and delicious....they do automatically add an 18% gratuity. Love having the option to cook, or not!

Jon Kee

I'll never stay anywhere else, the fact that you can walk to the Magic Kingdom in less than 10 min is unbeatable.

Sean Rouse

If you use the coffee maker, as a courtesy to the next guest, please wash it out afterwards.

James Pittman

The one bedroom rooms are fantastic! Plenty of space and has every amenity that you would need!

Pat Marsh

Their is a water parade at 10 but the previous tip neglected to mention that it stops at the GF, Contemporary , Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness in that order.

Christina Li

Connecting bridge is 5th floor in Bay Lake Towers and 4th floor in the Contemporary .In the elevator to the monorail - M is for monorail , MR is for monorail rear doors which you never need to push.

Zena Weist

Magic Kingdom Fireworks from the 16th floor are a must see! They pipe in the music . Best view !

Greg B

The best location on property. It is a short walk to Magic Kingdom.

Biz Traveldude

Awesome view of the lake on one side, the Magic Kingdom park on the other

Jackie Waters

On certain days the maids just take out trash and leave new towels. They don't do other cleaning . That is on day 4 of the reservation for guests staying on points. Cash guests get daily service.

Stephen Juliano

To hear the music that accompanies the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular, tune your room TV to 105!

Liz A.

Building is accessible by room key only! Only guests staying in the Bay Tower can access the tower, no other Contemporary or WDW guests can gain access.

Paula Williams-Drum

Room 7x12 is a standard view but you can see the lake and the fireworks . Awesome without the upgrade in points.

Gail Schultz

Wonderful place to see the fireworks and cocktails for DVC Owners..

Kim Goldstein

Best villa location to the Magic Kingdom

Liz A.

You can rent DVDs for free if you're a DVC member all other guest will have to pay a small fee. Go early in the evening or there won't be anything left!

Michelle

If you want to know about dvc, they will show you model rooms ..... We love our dvc!!

Dani W.

Most rooms, including mine, faced MK's fireworks ... what a sight to see from your own comfortable beautiful room! Great pool and slide...

Jane Novacane

I'm a DVC member staying @ Saratoga springs, but the awesome concierge let us go to top of the world anyways!!

Biz Traveldude

Awesome place to stay in Disney World

Ruth Pica

Beautiful room next to Magic Kingdom!

Lexie Liberator

The maid service is pretty bad, today they left our door open all day while at the parks . Not really what we expected for paying 800+ a night. But the view of the fireworks is lovely from the rooms

Louisa Agresti

Nice location. But as we have found w most of the deluxe resorts , the rooms are worn & in need of serious maintenance :(

Jason Martin

Great location in Disney.

Jenae Coulter

I can't believe that you have to pay to get new clean towels or wash your own. Crazy!!

Croutons Crouts

Our favorite resort on property

Elizabeth Garcia

Watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the top of the world deck!

Rob W

View from Top of the World lounge is awesome. Get up there anytime you can.

Johnny C

I have bought into the DVC and love it. Wish we did it sooner.

Tracie Cuccia

Top if the world lounge is a MUST!

Jennifer Ajsenberg

Night time show, lake side is extremely loud .

Gail Schultz

Danny

Lake view fro upper floors is beautiful!!

Kathleen Sansone

Great place for Magic Kingdom fireworks

Mike Wilk

Get dvc you won't regret it

Frances Tasch

My family and I are not DVC members . We are staying here on points. It is kind of annoying you don't get maid service . Just an FYI. You also do not get anywhere to hang your towels.

Patrick LaKemper
