The Exclusive Hotel Restaurant That SHOCKED Us in Disney World


Recommended Posts

Just a short walk or monorail stop from Magic Kingdom is Disney’s Contemporary Resort, which has amazing meal options like Steakhouse 71 (home to one of our favorite brunches) and California Grill (featuring a rooftop patio with fireworks views!). But we’re not here to talk about those popular restaurants today. Instead, we’re visiting a hidden gem at Bay Lake Tower — the Cove Bar at the pool!

Cove Bar

Cove Bar is located right by the pool at Bay Lake Tower and offers specialty cocktails, beer, wine, wraps, and salads. If you’re staying at the resort, we recommend grabbing a bite and enjoying the sunshine! Let’s take a peek at the menu, shall we?

We were looking for a great way to cool down by the pool, so we ordered the Chicken Sandwich, which is made with shredded chicken, provolone, red pepper, and onion, for $12.49. This was such a delightful surprise!

Chicken Sandwich

This sandwich was delicious! We loved the focaccia bread, which provided a nice crunch and held up to the filling.

Look at that crispy bread

Just look at all of that filling — this is a BIG sandwich.

Yum!

It even came with house-made chips, which helped make this a full meal. We loved being able to scoop up any extra filling with the chips.

Look at all of these chips!

The peppers added a nice sweetness, and both the peppers and onions were cooked, which we thought was a special, different take on chicken salad. The cheese was also very melty on top, which reminded us of a pizza.

Perfect melty cheese

The sandwich was very filling overall, and for the $12.49 price point, it was a hit! It’s so nice to be able to grab something quick from the bar while still having a full meal.

Cove Bar

Overall, we will definitely be having this again. It was so refreshing — can’t you imagine eating this sandwich with a drink in your hand by the pool? It’s the perfect poolside meal! If you’re staying at Bay Lake Tower, definitely stop by Cove Bar and try this chicken sandwich, and let us know what you think.
