My family are Disney Vacation Club Members and the Bay Lake Towers at the Contemporary is a Vacation Club resort (however anyone can stay at the Bay Lake Towers based on availability.)<\/p>\n<p>The benefit of the Bay Lake Towers and the Contemporary Hotel is both the proximity to the Magic Kingdom and that it&#8217;s on the Magic Kingdom Monorail line.<\/p>\n<p>The room type we had at the Bay Lake Towers is called the 3-bedroom Grand Villa with a theme park view. The alternative view is of Bay Lake and the pools\/activity area. The first floor of the room has a full kitchen, living room, laundry room, master bedroom with master bath and a second full bath in the living area. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and each has a full bath and double beds. There&#8217;s a loft area on the second floor with a sleeper sofa.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/02\/wpid-Photo-Oct-2-2008-1147-AM.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" id=\"blogsy-1361585996041.0195\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/02\/wpid-Photo-Oct-2-2008-1147-AM.jpg\" width=\"357\" height=\"302\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy Disney Vacation Club<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/02\/wpid-Photo-Oct-2-2008-1159-AM.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" id=\"blogsy-1361585995976.3188\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/02\/wpid-Photo-Oct-2-2008-1159-AM.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy Disney Vacation Club<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The views from the room were spectacular because there were floor to ceiling windows.
