Bay Lake Tower Refurbished Deluxe Studio Review

If you’re a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member or a regular Deluxe Studio guest, you’ve probably been wondering about the Bay Lake Tower refurbishment—and we’re here to tell you, it’s worth the wait! We recently checked out a completed Deluxe Studio, and there’s plenty to be excited about.

Here’s everything you need to know about the refreshed Bay Lake Tower studio experience:

1. Artwork That Steals the Show

The highlight of this refurbishment? Hands down, the stunning artwork. Designed by Joey Chou and inspired by legendary Disney artist Mary Blair, the semi-abstract park scenes breathe new life into the room. From vibrant pops of color to whimsical park-inspired designs, this artwork adds an entirely new layer of charm and personality to the Bay Lake Tower studio. It feels uniquely Disney while staying sophisticated, making it perfect for DVC members and guests who love to blend comfort with artistry.

2. An Upgraded Kitchenette

While the Bay Lake Tower Deluxe Studios have always had a slightly unconventional kitchenette tucked into a separate cubby, the revamped look and added functionality make up for it. The soft green backsplash is a refreshing touch that adds style, while the new Keurig Duo coffee maker is a game-changer for caffeine lovers. Whether you want a quick single-serve Keurig pod or need a full pot to recharge after a long day at the parks, this option is a welcome upgrade.

3. Enhanced Room Functionality

Disney has definitely put thought into making the rooms more functional for today’s travelers.

  • Murphy Bed vs. Pull-Out Couch: The Murphy bed replaces the old pull-out couch—and trust us, this is a win! Not only does it save space during the day as a couch, but it also provides a real mattress for better sleep quality at night.
  • Queen Platform Bed: The queen bed is now a platform bed, which means no more struggling with luggage! You can easily slide your suitcases underneath, keeping the room tidy and spacious.
  • Updated Charging Stations: With so many devices in tow, the addition of standard, USB, and USBC outlets is a much-appreciated upgrade. Whether you’re charging your phone, tablet, or smartwatch, you’ll find plenty of options around the room.

4. Fresh and Modern Feel

This refurbishment was long overdue, but it was well worth the wait. The fresh updates give the Bay Lake Tower studios a more modern and luxurious vibe, ensuring they remain a top choice for DVC members and Deluxe Studio fans.

Final Thoughts

The refurbishment at Bay Lake Tower has truly enhanced the Deluxe Studio experience. The thoughtful design, improved functionality, and beautiful details make this space feel even more magical. Whether you’re enjoying the curated artwork, brewing your morning coffee, or utilizing the updated features, every detail shows Disney’s dedication to elevating your stay.

If you’re a DVC member considering booking a studio—or just a Disney fan looking for a premium onsite stay—Bay Lake Tower’s refreshed Deluxe Studios are sure to impress. Don’t wait—consider booking your stay soon to experience the new updates firsthand!
