Bay Lake Tower
Reports of police presence at Disney’s Contemporary Resort confirm that an incident requiring emergency services occurred earlier this morning. Dozens of police vehicles, a fire truck, and an ambulance were reportedly onsite, and select entrances to Bay lake Tower were temporarily closed.
Personnel reportedly taped off the courtyard area between the lobby and pool at Bay Lake Tower, as seen in a Tiktok video posted by @aiotfamily. Scaffolding and towel carts were installed/used to block the scene from onlookers. A small white tent was evidently set up as well, and other personnel were also on scene to assist.
While still unconfirmed, guests online have posted comments claiming personnel knocked on room doors to inform them not to look off the balcony, while others suggested that employees were posted at several windows to shield guests from looking out the back side of the tower.
All emergency personnel were seemingly gone by 1 p.m. Nearby Cast Members mentioned something had happened at the resort, but did not share any details.
As for what exactly occurred, it is unclear at this time.
