A Disney World icon with the monorail running through, Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower are Disney themed with a modern feel. Rooms designs include Incredibles Family and modern Mickey.

The two Resorts are connected via a Sky Way Bridge with shared amenities and restaurants. California Grill is one of my all-time favorites.

Since it is next to Magic Kingdom, you can either take the monorail or walk to the park - great for park close crowds and afternoon naps. Balconies offer great views of the fireworks and a nice place for mom and dad to relax while the kids sleep.

Views are of theme park or lake. This is also where the MK fireworks cruise departs.

Dining Options:

Outer Rim bar
Contemporary Grounds (QS) coffee
Contempo Cafe (QS)
Steakhouse 71 (TS)
California Grill (TS) - Amazing!
Chef Mickey’s (TS) - Often recommended, but honestly not my favorite character meal. Buffett only.
