BLT Question – Amenities & Services?

[simmons_m]

Does anyone have a link or list of the amenities planned at BLT? We are owners there, added on site un-seen, and planning a trip in '10.
I thought i read that we would share workout facilities with the Contemporary, it has been a while since I used their facilities, but do not recall them as being very big. Have they been redone recently? How does the Gym compare to the Sturdy Branches at the WLV or The gym at the BCV?
Is there a quick service location planned at the BLT?
Do they have a grille planned, similar to Hurricane Hanna's, at the pool?
Will busses leave from the BLT or will all transportation be from the Contemporary?
I believe Check-in will be at BLT, not at the Contemporary, correct?
Thanks for the insight.

Since your not planning a trip until 2010, I would ask your question again after BLT opens. Things can change and often do between marketing and reality.

Thank you for the guidance. I've been reviewing the marketing info, but look forward to the first trip reports in August.

This is what I have read from other threads about what they are going to have and what they won't have.

There is not going to be a counter service location, however you can still go to the Contempo Cafe on the 4th floor of the Contemporary Tower.

I doubt they are going to build a bus stop at Bay Lake Tower, because it doesn't look like one is being built and Bay Lake Tower is located close to the Contemporary bus station.

Finally I have also read that check-in will be at the Contemporary. However with the brand new online check-in maybe a lot more guests will use it, so there won't be a huge number of Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower guests checking-in at the same time.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight.
On another note, the Ducks had a weak showing tonight. Good to see a hockey fan on the board, i think hope we can both agree to root against the redwings.

Will room service come from the restaurants at the Contemporary of from another source?

I am really looking forward to August trip reports too!!
