Happy New Year, Susan! Thanks for sending in your question to planDisney. It is an honor to help you today!
It sounds like you are planning the ultimate trip to ring in 2023. We have stayed at
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort so often that it seems like our home away from home. You'll love the comfort and convenience that the Deluxe Villa resorts offer!
But first, COFFEE! At Bay Lake Tower, you can expect a Mr. Coffee 12-cup slow-drip coffee pot. In addition, Joffery's coffee (decaf and regular), sugar, and sweetener are all provided for your convenience. If you run out, call Mousekeeping to ask for replenishment. Or, feel free to bring your own ground beans if you prefer a different coffee brand. I like to visit the nearby Fantasia Market in the main building for my favorite brand of liquid creamer. And the coffee tastes even better when sitting out on the balcony while watching the sunrise over Bay Lake!
Your villa will also come stocked with other cleaning supplies. In my experience, we had several packets of Finish brand dishwashing machine detergent, liquid dish soap, a sponge, paper towels, and cloth dishtowels. If you are in a villa with a washing machine, you will receive enough liquid clothes detergent for a couple of loads, but you'll need to pack your own dryer sheets.
If I may offer one more suggestion, make sure to catch the
Electrical Water Pageant during your stay, which is Disney nostalgia at its best. It usually floats by
Disney's Contemporary Resort around 10:00 PM nightly, and if you have a view of Bay Lake, you'll be able to watch from your room!
I hope your New Year's trip is a blast, Susan! If you have any other questions, remember that the planDisney Panel is all ears! See ya real soon.
