Resort Pools and Recreation 

The large pool at Disney's Contemporary Resort has a 17-foot high curving slide added. The second, smaller Bay Lake pool is round and gets progressively deeper as you move to the middle. There are also two spas and a children’s wading pool. Swimming in Bay Lake is not permitted due to high watercraft traffic,  but Bay Lake can provide a playground for many other kinds of water activities. For a fee, guests may choose watermice, sailboats, pontoon boats, water-skiing, or parasailing as well. 

Tennis buffs will enjoy the six clay tennis courts. A Pro shop, tennis lessons, drill lessons and clinics are available.   

Olympiad fitness center is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.  Here you will find Nautilus equipment, 6 Life Circuit Stations, 11 Cybex Stations, hand weights up to 50 lbs., Stairmasters, Life Cycles, treadmills, sauna, massages, whirlpool, and tanning booths. Personal training is available by appointment only.  

Beach volleyball, basketball hoops, shuffleboard, a jogging path and the children's playground offer lots of alternative recreational options.  

The Game Station is a very large video arcade, one of the best on Walt Disney World  property.  There is also a pool table in this games room. 

Electric Water Pageant - Go to the boat dock in the evening at approximately 9:35 PM (check with Guest Services for exact times). You'll be treated to the delightful Electric Water Pageant which makes its way across Bay Lake nightly. This whimsical light and music show will entertain you and your family for about 10 minutes. It's worth seeing at least once! (The ELP visits all the Bay Lake resorts nightly.) The ELP may be canceled due to inclement weather 

Dining and Shopping 

The Contemporary Resort offers three full-service restaurants.  

The California Grill - This is the premiere restaurant of the Contemporary Resort. It is located on the 15th floor of the Tower building and offers California-style cuisine. The views of the Magic Kingdom and surrounding areas are breathtaking and the lounge or outer balcony are perfect spots from which to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks.  California Grill serves dinner only. Check-in for the California Grill is located on the second floor next to the escalators.
