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

What an excellent packing tip for a BLT studio - collapsible luggage!

Wow! How did I just now notice this thread

We are BLT owners
We have 370 points.

Our first visit to our home resort was Feb of last year. We had a 2 bedroom lake view.

Our next visit is this coming May for my college graduation. We are staying in a 1 bedroom standard view (I think, I don't remember :lmao)

Then in November my best friend and I are staying in a 1 bedroom for the weekend of my birthday.

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.

I tried for a theme park view room for my birthday in November but they only had it for the 2 nights of our 4 night stay. So when I asked if they had any other view for the full stay she said lake view. My first trip to BLT was in a lake view and I really enjoyed it.

I believe I have read elsewhere that you can get refillable mug refills at BLT's Cove Bar by the pool. Can anyone positively confirm this? And if so, is it a self-service drink station (like at Contempo) or is it handled by the bartender? How late is it open?

TIA!

I can confirm that this is, indeed, true!! There is a mug refill station by the BLT pool. It is just to the left hand side of the bar and is self-service. I don't know how late it is open, as we only used it when we were at the pool.

Enjoy!!

Just wanted to share something that was brought to my attention while staying at BLT this week. My teenage son and I had a discussion about accessing the Top of the World Lounge. He was adamant anyone could go up, you didn't have to be staying at BLT. So.......... I had him prove it. From the Contemporary, he pressed the door button. The doors did not open, but we could pull the handle and open it ourselves. We walked to the elevator and I stated "It clearly states you must go down to the first floor to be escorted to the top floor." My son shakes his head and we enter the elevator. In the elevator I state "See, you need a key to access the 16th floor." Again, he shakes his head and hits the 15 button. We exit the elevator on the 15th floor and he proceeds to the stairs. We walk up the stairs and I see a sign stating to go to the 1st floor to access the Top of the World lounge. Apparently, my son does not see it and proceeds to open the door to the 16th floor. Wouldn't you know, we were at the Top of the World. Just thought I'd share this with other owners as I was upset we were able to do this. Regardless, I still love BLT.

Side note: my son is not a criminal, he's a clever teen who enjoys proving his mom wrong.

I'm pretty sure the refillable station closes when the pool does to the best of my recollection.

My 14 yr old did the same thing in December last year.

Guess they still have not corrected that problem.

Has anyone been to the Member event at TOTWL? What are they like compared to WHW? I was thinking about a small add-on during our next trip, and wandered if the incentives were worth it.

Just purchased BLT in Feb 2011. 160 but planning on adding more next year (when youngest graduates college!). Is there a way to figure out the acronyms here, some I get but some are way above my head!

You learn as you go. In the meantime, just ask. We're all Disney people here.

 

[Mrmrezg]

yes there is a list of common abbrviations on the welcome to disboards page.

 

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

Yea! We get to join this thread as of this week. Just purchased an add-on.

 

[disney212]

Thanks for the tips on the acronyms!

We will be doing a BCV/BLT split stay in Sept/Oct (4 nights at each). We check out the day you check in. All that means is that the day your most looking forward to is the one I am most regretting!

Does anyone know whether the studio remodelling is finished yet, you know the changing of the bathroom
Sink from the kitchen area? Does anyone have any photos of the new layout?
