If you’ve been thinking of booking a stay at the beautiful Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort but have been wary due to the current construction, we’ve got great news for you!
Bay Lake Tower
We’ve got an update that a large number of the rooms at Bay Lake Tower have completed their construction and can now be booked once again! If you’ve got a trip planned soon, don’t worry — here’s everything you need to know.
Now, it’s important to note that construction on this hotel is far from being complete as a whole. On the Disney World website, it currently lists that from September 2024 through Summer 2025 construction will be taking place that could intermittently close the Skyway Bridge, and that you may see and hear construction during your stay. Additionally, from January 26th, 2026 through early May 2026 the Bay Cove Pool at Bay Lake Tower will be closed for refurbishment.

However, we chatted to a Cast Member recently about the status of the room refurbishments going on at Bay Lake Tower, and they explained to us that on the south side of the building, rooms 24 to 44 on floors 7 to 16 are all complete! Below you can see a map of those rooms — they can be booked by requesting a south room on a higher floor.
The map!
However, it’s important to note that when you make a hotel request while you’re making your reservation, it’s never guaranteed. While Disney won’t place you in a room that’s under refurbishment, of course, and they’ll do everything they can to accommodate your request, it’s entirely possible that it won’t be able to happen. Therefore if the ONLY reason you want to stay here is to stay in the refurbished rooms, it may be best to wait until they’re all complete.
