Hi all - I'm trying to decide between BLT and THV. I know they are very different -- and my family (two sons 7 and 9 and wife) would pick them for very different reasons. I've focused on THV mostly, exploring what it has to offer, but recently have a nagging feeling that if a 1-bdrm is available at BLT for the time we're planning on traveling, that might also be a good fit.
While I love the secludedness THV offers, we're not crazy about needing a car to travel everywhere or taking a bus a long way. My family is only interested in traveling to EPCOT and MK and love the monorail. With points, we'd have enough for a 1 bdroom Lake View - and with the pull-out chair, each boy would still get his own bed (which keeps the peace ).
So here are my questions --
** On average (knowing that there are a lot of variables), how long should I expect it to take to walk from a villa at BLT to the monorail and take it to EPCOT (there is a transfer in the middle, I believe)??
** How is the pool at the BLT?
** Besides proximity to MK (which would be great for a late evening of fireworks), is there other advantages to BLT that I should know about or factor into my decision?
Thanks in advance!
