*** Bay Lake Tower Owners Group***

[chalee94]

just got back from a stay at the BLT. lucked into a borderline MK view on the 11th floor for lake view points. just a beautiful resort - felt very high quality. loved the pool. loved watching the fireworks from the TOWL (i could see the fireworks from my balcony but not the music.)

kind of expensive but worth it.

o, hai... McFarland. Not too far from the cities

We just got back. We stopped at the lounge on Thursday night, it was significantly busier at 11pm when we went up, maybe 5 parties altogether. I had a rum runner and it was fantastic.

let's try real hard not to lose this space to something lame, make sure you all go visit!

Hi Racine,

We have a niece who lived in Racine, just moved to Baraboo this year.

We'll do our best to support the lounge. We're planning to head up there the first night at BLT to see MVMCP from up there and to try the flatbreads.

Hi all....I tried searching for an answer to my question but had no luck ...

...we're heading down to the BLT in April. Our friends are coming along with us for the entire trip. We are DVC members and they are not. Will they be able to go to the Top of The World Lounge with us??? Thx!

Hello neighbors we are staying for the first time at BLT on Nov 28. Have a 1br with a MK view. We were unfortunate that our last two nights have to be in a bay lake view. But oh well. We are just happy to be staying at BLT.

If they are staying with you at BLT, then yes, they can. If they are staying in their own room, but it was booked by you on points (or I believe cash through MS), then yes.

If they are staying on a cash reservation made by DRC, or staying at a different resort, than no.

Gorgeous. Accessible. Great drinks. Generally great service. Please make sure to use it so we dont lose it

Kids are welcome but it has an upscale feel so make sure they behave for the other patrons

Thanks! Do we reserve a time up there?

There is a desk in the lobby and you just go there prior to going up, the CM will bring you up in the elevators. Have fun!!!! Don't think ressies are needed....

wisbucky, Badger alumni here.

We'll probably just miss you. We check into Kidani on the 3rd and then into BLT on the 6th.

Have a great trip!

Same here- our first stay @ BLT starts THIS COMING SUNDAY! 4 days & counting...

Glad to hear that; I have three studios booked on my points in Feb. (mine starts end of Jan actually), one for DW & myself (I'm the member), another for my parents, and the third for hers. My parents may want to watch wishes from there on their second night, and we might take my inlaws up there just to have a look at the view sometime... Her mom & dad haven't been to WDW in 20+ years so I'm working things up planning itineraries, already have ADRs, etc for us to do together. Mine, however, go twice or more annually since my dad retired, so I'm leaving them a LOT more on their own with a few "group" things including them (they usually do 3 night trips with only 1 park day).

 

[spiceycat]

don't care how many times you have been - the TOW is definitely worth it.

You get a wonderful view!!!

200 points sounds pretty good to me! We bought 160 pts. then added on 50 points when we realized that at BLT that means not very many night's stay. However we'll probably stay in a studio to save points as there is only the two of us.

 

[SolPlyr]

Is there some sort of security lock on the balcony door?

Have a great trip!

Dizfan we are there til the 8th staying the last two nights in a Bay lake view. Maybe we will run into each other. Enjoy your trip.

we just got back from several days at blt. we loved it! we stayed in a 1br for 1 night and loved the fact that it had 2 complete bathrooms. we then moved to a 2br for the remaining vacation. 3 complete baths is just about the greatest thing i could have dreamed of.

we love blt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also, so easy to get around to other resorts and the parks.

i guess i must add-on again.

I think that post you quoted was from 2008 and referred to the temporary 100 point minimum add-on that went into place in early 2009 for a few months; as far asI know nothing is currently announced about coming Jan. 15 (2010).
