Bayview Gifts (BVG) at Disney’s Contemporary

Bayview Gifts is the gift shop at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, also commonly referred to as the BVG. For Bayview Gifts, get it? Unfortunately, the gift shop does not offer a good view of Bay Lake. The view is covered by merchandise displays. Imagine that.

This article previews what you can expect in the Contemporary Resort’s leading gift shop. While I’m mildly joking about the views, this is one of our favorite resort gift shops where you can find unique merchandise. If you want to enjoy the view, you can step outside onto the Skyway bridge between the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower. You’ll likely want to linger for a while, especially around sunset.

Back inside, we’ll stop into the BVG and check out a few photos of the merchandise. I took this photo of the new gift shop window display in 2024. They change the display from time to time. This one features a Mary Blair-inspired Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

A new line of Incredibles merchandise themed to the resort was recently released.

Here we have the Contemporary Resort Sketchbook ornament. This ornament is modeled after the resort. On one side, it looks like the exterior of the hotel. But if you flip it over, you’ll see Mickey and Minnie Mouse watching as the monorail comes through overhead.

A new mug featuring a handle shaped like a monorail was released.

Here we have a Loungefly handbag themed to the resort with Incredibles theming.

A few matching tumblers were available.

These Minnie Ears have the resort’s logo on one side.

A divine case of sweet treats sits in the center of Bayview Gifts. Many of these items remain the same but are decorated to match the various holidays and seasons. The Christmas colors are incredibly cheerful, and I always like the bright colors of Easter, too!

Those looking for resort-branded merchandise are in luck. The Contemporary tends to have an excellent selection of items branded with the resort logo. Some of these items are still available in addition to the new Incredibles-themed line.

Here are a few pieces with Mary Blair-inspired art. The art pieces are by Larry Dotson. If you enjoy Disney Resort-inspired art, he is Disney Springs fairly often. I always like to stop in and purchase a piece. He’ll happily sign it for you.

Thesse tumblers are super cute.

Here is a long-sleeve pullover with the resort monorail logo.

A few ball caps are available.

This monorail towel is another favorite. On one end, it’s shaped like the nose of the monorail. I first saw this towel here several years ago to give you an idea about how long merchandise is available. Some things come and go quickly. But many popular items remain for a while.

If you’re anything like me and regularly visit any of these gift shops, it gets pretty easy to spot new merchandise. Moving along, Bayview Gifts has a selection of brand-name merchandise. A few of those brands include Lily Pulitzer and Tommy Bahamas.

You should be able to find something suitable to wear to dinner at the California Grill.

Here are a few more things.

Plenty of men’s apparel is available.

But if you’re looking for something tropical, you might do better at Boutiki over at the Polynesian.

Bayview Gifts has always been an excellent place to pick up Disney Loungefly backpacks.

Additionally, it’s my go-to place for browsing Disney Dooney and Bourke handbags. If you’ve been following along in our resort gift shop posts, you can tell that this shop has more than any other we’ve seen.

In case you missed it, some of the other Disney Resort gift shops we’ve reviewed lately include:

• Boardwalk Inn’s Gift Shops
• The Gift Shop at Disney’s Beach Club
• Sandy Cove Sundries at Grand Floridian

A glass display case with jewelry by Pandora is available in the gift shop.

And there is always plenty of Disney-themed items.

When we’re looking for t-shirts, we’ll usually look here and at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom.

There was a whole wall dedicated to Minnie Mouse in classic colors.

And here are some of those T-shirts.

There are usually plenty of ears and hats available.

Like most gift shops, it offers a selection of women’s swimwear. I imagine they sell a lot of these swimsuits. Think about it: You go to Florida in mid-January, thinking it will be too cold to swim, so you don’t pack a swimsuit. Next thing you know, you’re two days into a week-long vacation, and it’s 85 degrees outside. Wouldn’t an afternoon at the pool be lovely?

I would buy one too. The gift shop has goggles and sunscreen. As if you didn’t already have 20 pairs of goggles at home. You know what they say at Disney. There’s always room for one more.

Toward the back of the BVG is a large selection of children’s clothing items.

However, the store doesn’t have many toys. That’s okay, though. In the middle of the Grand Concourse, right outside the store, sits a stand-alone toy store called Fantasia. You can’t miss it. On the opposite side of the toy store, there’s Fantasia Market. That’s where all of the snacks and beverages are located.

Lastly, Bayview Gifts usually has a fun display of Disney nuiMOs. So, if you’re looking for a particular outfit, I’d recommend stopping in to see what they have during your vacation.

I hope you enjoyed our tour of the main gift shop at Disney’s Contemporary. If you’re not staying at this resort on vacation, I always recommend planning a meal here or stopping in for a visit.
