Plans for Bay Lake Tower started back in 2006 when Disney filed plans for a project on the site of the Contemporary's North Garden Wing. For the next few years worked progressed but the identity of the structure was kept a secret until its official name was unveiled in September 2008.
A walkway, known as the Sky Way Bridge, leads guests from the 4th floor of the Contemporary to the fifth floor of Bay Lake Tower. Unlike many Disney resorts, one cannot gain access to any part of BLT without a room key. The views from the 16-story C-shaped building are spectacular ... especially when the Magic Kingdom hosts its nightly fireworks show.
"Our resort motto is 'Where Tradition Touches Today,' and the marriage of our iconic resort with this elegant new Disney Vacation Club offering is a perfect example." -Thea Sargent (general manager of Disney's Contemporary Resort)
