BLT rooms and views with picture links! Last update of post #1 10/21/2015

First.....Thank you for all you do!!

May I ask......do you take advantage of "on-line check in"? We have only once but thought we'd have better luck if we just waited until the day of check in. I can't remember, is there a place for "notes" if you do it in advance on-line?

We initially had a Res for a 1 BDRM TPV Sun-Sat for this April. Then when flights came out we changed it to Wed-Tues. Unfortunately we only got our first half in a TPV, the second in a BLV. We have been waitlisting for months but I doubt it'll come thru. I've stayed on the inside of the "C" and I'm all set with that. I'm thinking of putting in a request, just as you suggested...."even numbered, highest floor".....but just wondering the best way to do that!!
We also try to arrive early.....well, around noon, if that's considered early to check in?? LOL!!
Thx again!!

We have done both online check in and waited to check in when we get there. I have found there to be no difference is the resulting room assignment. Even if I check in online, I ask at the front desk if my room request has been met when I pick up my package. It has only been met 50% of the time, but when I ask, 95% of the time they can find me a room that meets my request. The only way to get my request added to the reservation is to call member services and ask them to add it.

Hi All,

I need to book two standard deluxe rooms at BLT for this fall. We are taking the grand parents to Disney this fall and were hoping we could get two these rooms on close to one another.

Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

Assuming you mean 2 studios, ask for two adjacent rooms. The rooms XX06 and XX08 are next to each other as are XX38 and XX40. There are not many studios with standard view, so it might be difficult. Standard studios also book up fast, so I would recommend booking as early as you can.

Pics from room 8220(12th Floor):






Room was a 1-BR w/lock-off ...beautiful room.

We had a wonderful stay at BLT in August! We were in a LV 2 BR lock off - 8442 was the 1 BR and the attached studio was 8440. We loved the high floor and beautiful view of the lake and CR!

Does anyone know if the 2BR HA with roll in shower is one of the xx12 rooms on the 11th, 12th or 14th floor (above the HA 1BR's and studios)? Or are the 2BR HA's in some other location of the resort?

Is room 7308 Lake View or Standard? It's posted as standard on the chart, but lake view in the thread.

I have tried to skim through these pages but, since there are 130, I'm having a tough time finding the answer to my questions. I hope one (or more) of you wonderful people can help me.
We booked a designated 2 BR (NOT lock-off) MK view for our party of 7. There are 4 adults and 3 kids (12, 3 and infant). My DH, DD12 and I will take the BR with the 2 queen beds. My adult daughter and her DH, DD3 and infant son, will take the Master BR.
I called DVC and BLT and was told they do not have a cot but only an inflatable mattress (for $15 a night) for the 3yo. We had assumed that the convertible chair in the LR could be moved to the Master BR so she could sleep in it but they said it will not fit through the door. What other option is there that you can think of? We'd like something for the 3yo in the Master BR since she goes to bed early.
We had also requested a crib for the baby but were told they only have the adjustable p&p now for the rooms. Does anyone have a picture of the portable crib/p&p? If we request another one, do you think the 3yo would fit in it?
We will be flying in so can't bring much with us.

Very helpful to know what to request, thanks!

Hi. I haven't been to BLT, but I would consider rearranging the plan if I were you. Would the 3 yo, sleep with your 12 yo? Or you could give them the 2 queens, you and your DH could take the king and then dd12 could sleep on the sleeper sofa in the living room. There is no way my DS would stay in a pack-n-play. Or, in our situation, we'd probably just have the 3 yo sleep in the king with us. If our kids were on a different bed in the same room, they'd end up migrating anyway.

 

[Annette_C]

I appreciate your suggestions but the 3yo is used to sleeping alone, in her toddler bed. My DD12 trashes around all night so I'd be afraid she'd accidentally hurt the 3yo. If they take the 2 queen size beds, the 3yo would need bed rails....yet another obstacle when you fly into Disney!
The other alternative would be to rent a toddler bed, I guess.....

Many owners bring an air mattress for the option of an extra bed when two siblings can't share a bed. I've also made due by building a bed out of sofa cushions wrapped in a blanket when the air mattress failed us. Worked like a charm. For a three year old I'd go an extra mile and bring a disney themed sleeping bag so she knows and feels that it's her special bed.

Thanks for your good advice. MS told me that the P&P in the room is now adjustable (meaning that bottom is not so low to the floor). Does anyone know if that's correct?

How far in advance is best to make any room requests?

 

[NandK]

Figured I'd post since this one isn't listed yet:
Room 7326 - 1 bedroom standard view

We absolutely loved this room when we visited in Feb. 2013 especially since it was standard view and we could watch wishes from the pullout in the living room area! The kids loved being able to see the castle before they went to bed and the view of the monorail was great for my little boy.

You can make them when you make your reservation or call MS at anytime to add it to your reservation. Conventional thought is that the rooms transfer to the resort approx 1 week in advance to start room assignment so you want to request at least 1 week prior to check in.
