The curvilinear Bay Lake Tower is designed to complement the styling of the original building, which opened with the Magic Kingdom Park in 1971. Mimicking the color palette and strong horizontal lines of its iconic predecessor, the new structure sports a rooftop lounge inspired by the original resort’s A-frame architecture. The tower’s crescent shape, hugging lush landscaping, planned recreation options and a lakeside pool, will deliver some of the most dramatic views anywhere at the Walt Disney World Resort. Some villas face scenic, undeveloped stretches of Bay Lake, while others offer views of the Magic Kingdom, located a short walk away.

Inside the tower’s 295 two-bedroom-equivalent villas, visionary design meets Disney chic. Rooms will feature flat-screen TVs, full kitchens with granite counter tops and modern appliances, separate bedrooms, washers and dryers, and other home-like amenities. To accommodate larger families or families traveling together, many Bay Lake Tower vacation villas are designed to sleep up to nine, though some units also can be divided into one-bedroom villas that sleep five and studios that accommodate four, creating flexible options for smaller groups.

Bay Lake Tower sales began in September for Disney Vacation Club members. Sales to the general public will begin at a later date.
