I was looking for information on Shipt or Wal-Mart Plus to BLT. Has anyone used either of these services recently at BLT?

Yes, it’s been renamed Villian’s Lair. It has two offerings “Wicked Wind-down” and a Fireworks dessert party most evenings. You’d have to book those through member services. Otherwise you can go up to TOTWL and put your name on a list to get in for the bar. They offer a few food items (the 70 billion layer cake is delicious) and minor Villians theming. I believe if you are staying at BLT you’re allowed on the outside patio up there for fireworks, but some area will be blocked off for the two paid events on the nights they are offered.

No unfortunately they replaced that with the twin under the TV. I thought there was still an extra chair just not one that converted to a bed.

I think they were talking about how the kitchen table used to be able to sit a lot more folks but now is really only suitable for 4 and the counter seating is terrible.

The viewing balcony is open to all, you don't even have to be a DVC member to go up there anymore. It's only the lounge (and paid events like you mentioned) that are restricted to only DVC-Y members staying on property.

We used WalMart last Saturday. Worked fine.

FYI I took my family to the viewing balcony two nights ago and had to show my DVC-Y card prior to entry to the terrace area. He asked if we were “just there to see the show,” I said yes, and then he asked to see my card. My full report is in the thread linked above.

Interesting, this may be a recent change then. I was there over Labor Day and it was still open to all.

Agreed. They took away a lot of seating in the refurb. Looks nice, but not as functional. The Murphy bed is also a terrible couch IMNSHO.
