BLT--I'm not so sure

Looks like a first class DVC resort with a great location, but I think this will really seperate the "hotel feel" vs. "resort feel" camps. BLT looks like many high rise hotels you might see on Waikiki Beach. Step out onto the balcony of a "Bay" view and you may be looking at the bay but there is a better chance you will be looking across at other rooms with the pool down below. I was just at the Mirage in Las Vegas--I can see where this would be the same "high-rise" feel with a pool view. The Magic Kingdom view would be nice, but (and here comes the flames!) I have never been sold completly on the MK view...there has always been too much of the "parking lot" view to make it that magical panorama. I think some views from the GF are "purer" views of the MK...and it seems many of the MK views may not be great views of the MK if you have a room on the curvature of the building. Interior? Reminds me of a slightly more contemporary version of the Westin hotel rooms. Again--nice decor, but more of a "hotel" feel. I will confess I am an OKW fan, and this is certainly the other end of the spectrum from OKW. I understand the monorail appeal, but being able to walk or take a 2 minute ride to get to MK quickly is not a priority for me. But that is the appeal of DVC--so many resorts, so many choices.

My opinion exactly. Not into the "high-rise" feel of this DVC resort. Would rather have lots of lushly landscaped grounds and multiple pools.

The closeness/transportation at BLT is what has our interest. We've almost bought AKV on 4 different occastions, but just couldn't bring ourselves to do it when the only option is to ride the bus to go anywhere...that's just not what we like to do. My DH has always referred to CR as the ugliest thing on disney property but now it seems like he will purchase BLT! My DS saw the video and pictures and commented on how much he loved the colors in the rooms! Like the op said, dvc fits everyone a different way and that's what makes it great!

Personally I have always wanted to stay at the Contemporary Never could justify the cash cost and then joined DVC and didn't want to use points to stay there. I can't buy any more points right now but would if I could
