Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is the only Disney Vacation Club resort within walking distance of Magic Kingdom park — a short, scenic path along Bay Lake puts you at the gates in minutes, and the resort monorail glides right through the neighboring Contemporary. Renting points here is one of the smartest ways to stay this close to the Magic for a fraction of Disney's published rates.
The sleek, modern studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas offer sweeping views of either the Magic Kingdom fireworks or Bay Lake, and many guests upgrade to a Theme Park View to watch the show from their balcony. Up top, the Top of the World Lounge is a DVC-exclusive perch for fireworks viewing.
With the monorail, the walking path, and Disney's finest dining next door, Bay Lake Tower is perennially in demand. Tell us your dates and we'll find you the best available points price.

Renting Bay Lake Tower points: FAQ
How many points do I need to rent Bay Lake Tower?
The number of Disney Vacation Club points required at Bay Lake Tower depends on the villa type, the view, the season, and the night of the week — a weeknight Deluxe Studio in a value season needs far fewer points than a weekend in a larger villa over a holiday. You can see the exact points for every room type and date on the Bay Lake Tower point chart, and our Check Availability tool prices your specific dates for you.
How much does it cost to rent points at Bay Lake Tower?
Renting DVC points at Bay Lake Tower is priced per point, so your total depends on how many points your dates require. Renting is typically up to 50% less than Disney's published cash rate for the same room. Enter your dates in our Check Availability tool for an exact, all-in quote with no hidden fees.
What villa types can I rent at Bay Lake Tower?
At Bay Lake Tower you can rent Deluxe Studio, 1-Bedroom Villa, 2-Bedroom Villa, 2-Bedroom Lock-Off Villa, and 3-Bedroom Grand Villa. Availability varies by date, so we recommend checking early for the room type and view you want.
Do I need to be a Disney Vacation Club member to rent points at Bay Lake Tower?
No. Renting points is how non-members — and members who need a few extra points — stay at Bay Lake Tower. We make the reservation in your name using our members' points; you simply check in and enjoy your stay.
Is renting points at Bay Lake Tower cheaper than booking through Disney?
Yes. Booking Bay Lake Tower by renting DVC points is generally up to 50% cheaper than reserving the same villa directly through Disney at the standard cash rate — which is why renting has become such a popular way to stay in Deluxe Villa accommodations.
