I just came back from my first visit to BLT for 6 nights in a studio from April 10 to 16th. While my wife and I are DVC members, we dont own at BLT but we were lucky enough to capture a Magic Kingdom view at the 7 month window. Im going to break this report into several posts so I can load the photos in sections - that should make things less stressful and more convenient for me.
While we had already checked in on-line, our room wasnt ready until 4:45. The good news is we walked into a spectacular 12th floor view from room #8218. Heres the mandatory views from our balcony (yes, these are the mandatory balcony photos required to qualify for any respectable trip report).
Here's our magnificent view looking straight out. As far as the parking lot below, my wife suggested they cover it with the same type of "living lawn" thatched roof that they use on the Norway cottage in Epcot. This would keep the cars cool in summer (like the parking under the building at AKV) and would also provide for a fabulous enhanced view! Our conversation ended when I suggested that my wife donate this wonderful parking roof to the BLT view.
I must confess that it was the ultimate childhood fantasy waking up to this view every morning:
Looking to our left we saw the Grand Floridian:
And looking to our far left we saw the Contemporary, Monorail & Polynesian:
Here's a couple of photos of our studio:
The weather was gorgeous - a high of 80 degrees ever day with absolutely NO HUMIDITY and almost no rain. I'm convinced that late Apr/early May and October are the 2 best times of the year to visit Disney World. One of the very pleasent surprises at BLT was this serene little beach area behind the pool. I spent many a relaxing visit there with my feet firmly embedded in the cool, comforting sand.
My next post of the BLT grounds should be uploaded later this morning.
Best wishes,
David
