Disney World is certainly no stranger to refurbishment. After all, keeping Disney’s incredible resorts and theme parks in tip-top shape sometimes requires a healthy dose of TLC.

Sure, refurbishments and construction can be inconvenient at times – but without them, we’d never get to enjoy updated guest rooms, new Disney Park experiences, or improved Disney transportation.

Recently, we’ve seen impressive refurbishments at Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa – just to name a few.

Now, Disney has added another popular resort to its refurbishment lineup, and this time, it’s a Disney Vacation Club resort!

Bay Lake Tower to Undergo Lengthy Refurbishment
Much like its neighbor, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Bay Lake Tower offers fantastic accommodations, dramatic theme park views, and of course, walking distance to Magic Kingdom.

Bay Lake Tower is a popular choice among Disney guests, and as such, its rooms and amenities see plenty of use! Additionally, the resort has not received a full refurbishment since it opened back in 2009.

The refurbishment will begin in September 2024 and is expected to last a full year, with a projected end date in September 2025.
Disney notes that resort guests may see and hear construction work “throughout” Bay Lake Tower during this time. The verbiage indicates a resort-wide refurbishment that could include updates to various elements including guest rooms, pools, or even the lobby.

While the specifics of the project remain unclear, we’re certain that the resort’s guest rooms will receive a full refurbishment, including new flooring, soft goods, furniture, appliances, and more.
For reference, here’s a look at the current guest rooms at Bay Lake Tower:
