The Exchange on Walt Disney World Resorts
Disney's Contemporary Resort
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort
Resort Category:
Deluxe and Deluxe Villa
Great for:
Families with children of any age and Couples of any age (in Bay Lake Tower).
Biggest Perk:
On the Monorail line for Magic Kingdom. The Marina for boat rentals and private charters is a great perk as well.
Biggest Drawback:
The noise levels in the main building (especially down near Chef Mickey's) can get loud and the decor is not exactly everyone's cup of tea.
The Exchange's Top Tip:
Make a reservation at the California Grill for about an hour before Magic Kingdom fireworks. Not only could you possibly have a lovely view right from your table, but there is also an outdoor deck for viewing as well.
Also, don't miss the fun Campfire activities!
Available Resort Dining:
Chef Mickey's (Table Service and Character Dining); The Wave of American Flavors (Table Service Dining); California Gril (Table Service - 2 credits); Contempo Cafe (Quick Service DIning); California Grill Lounge (Table Service Menu availeble); The Wave Lounge (Small Plates Menu, Dining Plan not available); The Sand Bar (Pool Bar with Quick Service Menu); The Cove Bar (Pool Bar with Quick Service Menu); Contemporary Grounds (Snacks); and Outer Rim (Bar Drinks only)

Overall thoughts:
This resort is fantastic for school trips or family reunions with lots of young children. If you book far enough in advance, this resort can be the most reasonable of the three on the monorail line.
