*** Bay Lake Tower Owners Group***

[barrymommy]

Hi everyone! We are new members, too! We bought in this past October and took our first trip down in January. We were in a 2 bdroom villa on the 7th floor, lake view. We couldn't have asked for a better room!! I am sure we will try a Magic Kingdom view sometime...but I think I may prefer the lake view.

We just booked a cruise on the Disney Dream for May 2012. I think we will be staying a few days at BLT before we cruise.

Congrats to all the new BLT owners! Don't forget to utilize the Top of the World lounge when you stay there. It's fantastic.

I just purchased a few days ago after visiting BLT before the Princess Half Marathon last weekend. So happy to be making Disney my home away from home.

My wife allready posted about our purchase I am just subscribing.

The Top of the World is fantastic even when it is in the upper low 30's to sit and watch the fireworks as you watch the wife freeze watching from the outside.

Congratulations! and Welcome Home! We went on our first trip to BLT last summer, and loved it! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Looking forward to to my next visit to WDW and first stay at BLT. Currently I'm considering several possible dates so nothing confirmed just yet.

You should confirm your dates so that I can make plans to be available during your vacation for meet ups. . .

As soon as I do you'll be the first to know.

We had our first trip home in July 2010. It was a 2 bdrm lake view and it was heaven. We got to have a view of the pool and lake. Just LOVED it! We also loved the short walk or ride to MK. I felt so spoiled!

We just got home on Saturday from a 2 week stay with 1/2 of it in a BLT Studio. While the room was SMALL and there were some of the typical furniture quality issues-and we had an awful housekeeper...it was a beautiful resort. We loved it!!!! There truly is something magical about walking into the main tower at the CR. I loved that little walk across the sky bridge!

We were on the 12th floor and had a refurbed studio with the bathroom sink IN the bathroom.

I'm nervous.....have a BLT studio booked in Oct and Dec. I love the resort but have only stayed in one bedrooms before....

I believe I have a picture of the room with the couch folded out....I'll try to find it...

During the first half of our stay, at BWV, we set up my DS' monorail toy-which is BIG, but it was no problem with the fold out. At BLT, there wasn't enough space.

We are used to small spaces-we live in NYC in 500 square feet! But, they are noticeably smaller than the other resorts. I met a couple in the laundry room who owns at OKW and hasn't ever stayed anywhere else...this was their first stay and they couldn't believe how teeny it was! But, when you jump from BWV (or the like) to BLT, it's noticeable, but not that bad....and the location more than makes up for it!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Okay, supposedly we do have a picture - but I cannot find it right now. When I do I will post it!

One thing to note, the balcony is larger than others. Generally once I sit in the chair I am almost kneeing the railing, but BLT's was very spacious.

Just kidding Maria! You might be in some shock though. Just remember that in realtor terms the studios are "cozy".

 

[carden]

We bought in at BLT in Jan. We will be taking our first trip this weekend, but will be staying at CR instead of the tower. Is it much different? I am now worried from reading this thread that the studios may be too small for our liking. Someone reassure me that BLT was the right choice.

 

[SleepyTimeNinja]

We bought 100 points at BLT in December ... couldn't be happier with our decision!!!

 

[JWG]

We just entered ROFR hoping to expand our ownership here...
Hoping for more time at our 2nd home!

thanks Kathy ! I will prepare for cozy and try not to go into shock !
Fortunately it'll just be hubby and I for our BLT trip so we won't have to fold out the sofa.

That's much better if it's just two of you. I admit I did tell DH that he wouldn't see a studio b/c that will just be for solo trips but in reality I would consider it. And the balcony's are larger than most other studios. The worst thing I thought was suitcase storage but there's room by the lock off door to the 1BR's and it doesn't disrupt your entry in to the studio. Just not as nice as being able to store them someplace a little more hidden.

well my luggage folds up so it fits in the drawer - which BLT studio do have.

my favorite is still being able to walk to the MK....

the 1-bedroom is about 4 times bigger. What view are you getting?
