Happy New Year, Monica, and "Welcome Home!"
How exciting that you are already starting to think about your upcoming trip!
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is my family's favorite, "Home Away From Home." For us, the thing that makes staying in a Disney Vacation Club Resort so special is the ability to prepare meals right in your resort room, and nothing starts a day at the parks better than a fresh cup of coffee! The last time we stayed there, the coffee maker was a 10-12 cup Mr. Coffee with a traditional basket style drip filter. Also provided was a couple of days supply of Joffrey's coffee and powdered creamer, which was quite good. You can also bring your favorite brand of coffee with you- just make sure you pack a few filters as well. Walt Disney World often does a soft goods refurbishment of their resorts, so feel free to call Guest Services at (407) 939-1000 if you'd like to double check.
One other quick tip, make sure to check out The Top of the World Lounge while you are there. It's the perfect way to watch Magic Kingdom Park's
Happily Ever After (which my kids have been known to do in the comfort of their Mickey pajamas)!
I hope you have a Magical Vacation!
