Hello, Lesly and thanks for dropping by planDisney with your question!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort with its convenient walkway to
Magic Kingdom Park is one of my favorite Disney Resorts Collection hotels and I’m happy to chat with you about its refurbishment.
You are correct that the rooms at Disney’s Contemporary Resort are in the midst of reimagining. When I visited Disney’s Contemporary Resort last week you could see the coverings over rooms inside the atrium of the building. If you haven’t yet seen a peek at what the new rooms look like (they’re pretty INCREDIBLE), check out
THIS POST on the Disney Parks Blog.
Now, Lesly, since you also inquired about the neighboring
Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, I think the refurbishment announcement you may have seen was regarding one of the pool areas. Earlier this year the Bay Cove Pool was closed for a short period of time but has since reopened. As Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a Disney Vacation Club Resort, this property would not automatically follow the same refurbishment schedule as Disney’s Contemporary Resort. At the condominium association meeting in December 2020, Disney Vacation Club
did announce that a few resorts would see a refresh, however Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort was NOT listed.
Lesly, I hope this information is helpful as you’re planning for your November vacation. Since you'll be arriving after the 50th anniversary celebrations kick-off, make sure to
read about some of the fun in store!
Please come on back to planDisney with any additional questions you might have.
