Bay Lake Tower

Last week we reported on a Passholder preview event at the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort.  Disney Vacation Club has actually scheduled a series of previews throughout the month of July.  Known dates include June 29 - July 2, July 9 - July 12 and July 21 - 24.  Both DVC members and non-members with confirmed reservations at Walt Disney World during this period have reported receiving invitations to attend the previews. 

Earlier today we posted a link to a YouTube video from the June 29th preview.  You can also read a first-hand report from "CynthiaY2" on the DVCNews.com Forum.

An amateur video has been posted to Youtube which highlights many of the unique features of the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort.  Included are a trip across the covered walkway to the Bay Lake Tower, a tour of one of the resort's Grand Villas, plus a look a the members-only lounge and fireworks viewing platform. 

The video is about 6 1/2 minutes long.  Click inside to view.
