The soft goods renovation of the villas at Bay Lake Tower is in full swing. Floors 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 have been completed. Right now, Disney is working on the villas on the entire 8th floor and to the villas on the 7th floor that are on the south wing facing the Contemporary Resort. Work has not yet begun on floors 1 through 6 and floors 15 and 16.

It does not appear that any changes have occurred in kitchen or bathroom areas. Since the renovation involves soft goods, USB outlets are not being added to the BLT villas. Also, like at other Disney resorts, alarm clocks and DVD players are no longer standard amenities.
