Hiya, Sharon! Welcome back to planDisney!
You sound like someone after my own Disney planning heart, Sharon.
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is one of my Home Resorts and one of my very favorite Disney Resorts, and I am also anxiously awaiting a stay in a beautifully refurbished room. I see that your magical adventure is in just days (Woohoo!), so let's get to it!
I just spoke with a Cast Member who informed me that the room refurbishments at Bay Lake Tower are still ongoing, and the planned end date is September of this year. She also informed me that, unfortunately, there is no list of which rooms have been completed and which ones are currently in the process of being refurbished.
If your heart is set on a stay in a refurbished room, I recommend putting in a request for one on your reservation. If you are using your Disney Vacation Club Vacation Points, I recommend
calling Member Services or using the Chat feature on the
DVC website to make your request. If you're staying on cash, just
call a helpful Cast Member with Tickets and Hotel Reservations or use the Chat feature on the
Walt Disney World website to make the request. Just be aware that while the Cast Members will do everything they can to make your wishes come true, requests are not guaranteed. I'll be wishing upon a star that you get everything your heart desires!
Since you are a DVC Member, don't forget to visit
Top of the World Lounge during your stay! This is my very favorite place to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks. I usually don't even request a table inside! I love grabbing a to-go drink from the bar and watching the fireworks from the balcony. It's beautiful from the Top of the World!
I hope this was helpful, Sharon, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable upcoming vacation! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have. You've got a friend in planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Mandy
