Another great BLT trip

[officer tigger]

We just returned from a five night stay at the BLT. Everything went great from start to finish including surprising the kids.
I handed them a letter written from Mickey Mouse inviting them to breakfast the following morning at Chef Mickey's and it took them a minute before it sunk in. Then we were off to the airport for a 6PM flight out of Philadelphia. We landed 15 minutes early and the driver was there from Florida Tour Cars waiting for us. We arrived at a little after 9 and checked into room 7610. I booked a one bedroom waterview and from the room we could see the castle, tennis courts and the lake. I enjoyed a morning cup of coffee everyday after my morning run looking ot over the water and the park.
The other thing I love about the room is the bench in the master shower. I loved being able to sit down and wash my hair!!
We did the dining plan and thought it was ok. I still don't want a desert at lunch as that was a waste for us. The refillable mug was nice and turned even better when I found out I could get water. The lemonade light has a gray tap that when you push it...out comes water. No more soda!!
The only downer we had was a 35 minute wait for the Studios bus after breakfast at Chef Mickey's. Other then that the room was clean, the weather was perfect, crowds were low and my youngest said "daddy this is the best vacation ever."

So glad you had a fabulous trip, and the statement made by your child makes it just perfect! We have our first BLT stay booked this summer and can't wait!

The longest wait we had at BLT was for AK, so you just don't know what to expect. The rest of your trip sou DS perfect!

What a nice comment to get from ones child!
Hopefully I will have the same response in 9 days time when we check in for our 2 week stay at BLT.
The anticipation is building up now......
For the 23 hours of travel not so much....

We were told that you could refill at the pool (we never went out there). We used the one on the fourth floor in the Contemporary.

Yes you can refill at the pool when the cove bar is open.

Under two months for our 3 nights at BLT! We are only going to MK and Epcot for those 3 days (studios and AK will be during our 4 following nights at AKV) so no bus issues foreseen! Can't wait! Hope our lake view is as magical!

We have the exact trip booked but April 12-19. 3 nights in a lakeview studio followed by 4 nights at AKV! I just booked the BLT studio online yesterday and was shocked that it was available. We plan on doing the parks just as you are too. These 2 resorts are so different, it will be like 2 seperate vacations. I am soooo looking foreward to our trip. Thank you OP for the trip report
