Two issues:
1. Your first "magical" experience isn't workable from Disney's POV. They will not continue to support the lounge if the only business it attracts are a handful of people expecting to share a private moment.
2. One experience isn't exactly the best basis for passing judgement. The only thing we know for certain is that you ran into some bad folks who let their kids run wild. Were they BLT guests? I find it hard to believe that folks lugged toys from another resort to the lounge.
And for that matter, how much of the crowd was non BLT folks?
Most of the reports I've read indicate that crowds haven't increased much, if at all. But no way of knowing what will happen on any given night. It could get crowded even if the audience is entirely BLT guests.
So if you have a car, where do you park?
I'm sure they would let you valet (for a fee) at CR. Other than that it would have to be the Transportation and Ticket Center. BLT doesn't necessarily have adequate self parking for guests plus dozens of non-guests headed to the lounge.
