Not our first stay at Disney but a first stay on the monorail loop. We did enjoy our stay here and i would recommend it but we would probably not stay here again. Just did not have that Disney feel for our family, more modern and upscale decor than we like. For anyone with small children or just wanting to... More

This was our second visit to Bay Lake Tower, and once again it did not disappoint. Last time we had a lovely studio but this time we decided to upgrade to a one bed villa (well apartment...) and it was really was worth it. There were just three of us and we had so much space it was unbelievable. Everything... More

I read a lot of bad reviews on this hotel and almost did not book but I'm so glad that I disregarded the reviews and stayed at this hotel! We are DVC members but it was a lot of points to book at this hotel, especially since I booked Magic Kingdom view, so I was very apprehensive in our decision.... More

We stayed in a three bedroom villa for one week. The floors needed to be mopped, furniture was dusty, gum was stuck in the carpet and the balconies were full of cobwebs and dead bugs. The living room furniture was stained and very uncomfortable. There was only seating for 5 in the living room. The amenities such as shampoo, soap,... More

We stayed in a Magic Kingdom View Studio, 2 adults, and 3 small children. Our room was amazing. Some complain it is too small but we were fine in the room, mostly we were just there to sleep. On evenings when the children fell asleep early we could sit on our balcony and watch Wishes. We could even hear the... More

A family member recently purchased more points in Disney's Vacation Club and we were invited to bay Lake Tower for a special breakfast. While there we were able to tour the Tower, including different styles of rooms. The decor of the hallways is somewhat bland but very clean and modern. However the rooms, just lovely. We self-guided through a studio... More

This was my family's first time staying at a Disney resort. We really wanted to stay at the Bay Lake because of the convenience and it did not disappoint. It was amazing to be able to walk to MK. We did go during off season so it was not crowded. We never had to wait for an elevator and it... More

We stayed in a one bedroom suite with a lake view of the marina. The rooms were very nicely decorated, nothing too over the top. Modern furnishings, full kitchen, 2 full baths. I really liked the master bedroom 2 person shower, several shower heads, bench, tiled and glass doors. The location is great, a 5 minute walk to the Magic... More

We stayed at Bay Lakes for a Disney Vacation and the property is amazing. We were in a suite facing the lake and the pool. Great view, very clean and close (Walking distance if you wanted) to Disney World. Nice pool bar, good food and great atmosphere for kids.
