If you've been to Disney World lately you've probably seen the construction going on near the Contemporary Resort. Though it wasn't announced officially until today, the newly constructed crescent-shaped tower (that's walking distance to the Magic Kingdom) is called Bay Lake Towers - Disney's newest vacation club. The tower is 15 stories high and will have 300 units. Bay Lake Towers will connect to the Contemporary Resort via a pedestrian bridge on the fifth floor. In addition, Disney will also be opening 60 Treehouse Villas that are being constructed as part of the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa. These villas can be seen when taking the boat from either of the Port Orleans resorts to Downtown Disney. On our trip last month, our boat driver pointed out the construction, which had just started to the raised units. These units are in a quiet secluded wooded area of Disney.
Bay Lake Towers will likely be the most popular of the Disney Vacation Club resorts with it's wall length windows and view of the Magic Kingdom.
If you're an existing Disney Vacation Club member, you will have the first opportunity to buy into Bay Lake Towers beginning this Sunday.
