Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is about six weeks into its wholesale refurbishment and spies are getting their first look at new interior features.
Bay Lake Tower is in the early stages of a massive "hard goods" refurbishment which includes updates to furniture, kitchen cabinets, plumbing and decor throughout the room. New photos taken by guests staying on-site give us our first look at some of the updates. Both of these photos featuring the living area of a One or Two Bedroom villa. In the image above, the pull-down twin bed is visible underneath the new flat panel television. The new twin replaces the sleeper chairs which were installed at only Bay Lake Tower and Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas before designers moved on to different concepts.
The dining room table and bench are also visible. The bench appears suitable for only 2 or 3 guests, replacing the larger L-shaped banquette which sported a greater capacity. The smaller seating configuration follows a trend with other recent Disney Vacation Club room refurbishment. At least two free-standing chairs will surely be included.
The second image provides a good look at the kitchen with a greenish-blue tile backsplash and cabinet doors which feature a glass insert. Also visible is some classic Disney photography mounted on the wall.
Other photos posted to the Bay Lake Tower Facebook Group depict the Murphy-style pull-down sofa bed in the living room and addiitonal Disney artwork.
The refurbishment project began in late September 2024 and expected to run until September 2025. There is no word on when the first refurbished rooms will be available to guests.
Thanks to Alexis for the photos!
