Bay Lake Tower-- 2 bed suite-- insights, please!

[ryanjenniferm]

It is my first time renting points through Dave's and it has been a long time since staying at the Dis. We are renting a 2 bedroom suite with my inlaws. What is in room in terms of kitchen? Do we need to bring towels for the pool? Shampoo etc? Is it more like a hotel or more like a condo rental? Thanks in advance!

You will have a resort parking pass. It will get you free parking at the parks for your length of stay, including check out day.

Just a clarification. You are reserving a villa, not a suite. Usually suites come with access to the concierge lounge at the deluxe hotel. There is no concierge lounge at BLT.

You will receive service from housekeeping every four days. With day one as check in day, on day four you will get your trash removed and towels replaced if you reserved seven nights or less. If you reserved eight nights or more, you get a full cleaning on that day and trash and towel service on day eight. Your amenities will be replaced every four days. So if you wash your hair every day, you may want to bring extra shampoo, shower gel, etc. Each bathing area will be replenished every four days.

If you need more towels or desire additional housekeeping service, you will need to pay for them.
