BLT rooms and views with picture links! Last update of post #1 10/21/2015

[work2play]

I counted exactly 120 Dedicated 2 Bedrooms and 147 lock offs. Totally wrong! Theres supposed to be 148 Dedicated and 133 lock offs!

Sorry I totally disagree. There are not 148 dedicated 2 BRs at BLT.

Yes, I am confused too. I am choosing to monitor the changes from SV to LV to see if they hold up before changing the map.

work2play,

Thanks for all the effort you put into this thread. To clarify a little on our experience, I had booked a 1 BD LV and called MS about a week prior to arrival requesting a north facing higher floor. We checked in around 11:00AM and reiterated the request. The room was not ready til about 4:00 (never received a text from the front desk btw). When I realized we were on the fifth floor I went back down to the front desk and was told that 7510 is a LV. It was a little hard to argue the point when all I could do was reference this website (oh, you read it on the internet, I see ). The next day I called MS and was basically told if you can see water then it's a LV room (kind of reminds me of Hawaii and there 6-8 room classification "system").

The day after that I talked with DVC in the lobby and they walked me over to the front desk and pulled out their laminated room classification sheet. It was at that time the front desk chap stated the north facing rooms 2nd floor and up are all LV rooms. Now I have no idea if he was just telling me this to get rid of me or if this was indeed a fact. He did state somewhat emphatically that the 2nd floor and above rooms were LV. I guess time will tell.

On a sided note, I walked down a few flights of stairs in the north tower and wow what a view. I don't know why the architects didn't build end rooms with panoramic views and put the emergency stairwells somewhere else LOL. I don't understand why DVC doesn't put out some info on room numbers and their classification. Must be a well guarded secret.

I totally believe what you described happened. My experience is that I have had numerous cast members tell me things that turned out to be just not true! My thought is to keep an eye on it and see what people actually report they get rather than take the word of a cast member. I don't believe in anyway that they are trying to deceive people, they just don't have all of the facts much of the time.... The cast members that you interact with are not the ones that actually assign you the room, so it is hard to tell where they get their information from, and I have never seen any map in their possession that shows which rooms are in which category....

In mid-May we had a single night in a Standard view studio - 7306. I found I have a much better opinion of the BLT studios now that they have moved the bathroom sink out of the kitchen!

In general the room was in good condition although that new bathroom sink was chipped - apparently from something heavy being dropped in it.

Here are a few pictures including a couple I took of the inside of the room. You can compare the bathroom/kitchen layout now to the layout when pictures were previously posted of this room:

And the view:

And a couple from the top:

OH! We wondered why there was that weird mirror area in the kitchen! NOW I get it! I can't wait to show my husband these pictures! Thanks for posting!

Earlier this month we had a family gathering at BLT and booked three two-bedroom villas for our family. All were Lake View villas. We had two dedicated 2BRs (#7702 and #7705) and a lock-off 2BR (#7735/#7737). My wife and I were in the studio portion and a nephew & his family were in the attached BR portion.

We dis our usual BLT request: High Floor, Even Room Number, North Wing. All three villas were on the 7th floor, not high but not low either, and only one was on the North Wing.

This was the first time in four stays at BLT that we had a villa facing the pool. Some people have complained that these rooms look right into the rooms across the way and don't have much of a view. But I had no complaints. Here is the view we had if we looked directly forward from our balcony:

But if we turned our heads just a little, this is the view we saw:

In the future I wouldn't have a problem if I were assigned an interior facing Lake View villa.

Thanks! I added your photos to the link in the first post, first photos from that studio. Amazing that all of the rooms were on the same floor!

We were there last week booked in a 2 bedroom standard view, received villa 7530. I didn't ask, but this room must have been recently downgraded from Theme Park View. We watched fireworks every night from the balcony! I could see where some may not like this room, you were in full view of everyone coming across the sky bridge.

Thanks for sharing these pics- I've been strictly a North Tower, even number girl, but these views aren't so bad. My only question- did you have to lean far forward on the patio rail to see the fireworks, or could you see everything fine sitting down in the chairs??

Didn't have to lean at all, the fireworks we did stand against the rail, but you could see everything sitting down if you were to the far left side of the balconies. It wasn't a dream come true Theme Park View, but, it was still a very nice view!

When were you there? We were in this same room from the 22nd to 25th after our DCL Fantasy cruise. We loved this "standard" view room and would take it again.

We too watched the fireworks from our balcony. Just turned up the TV and tilted it to the balcony to hear the music/narration.

Loved your pictures, especially of the fireworks. Here are a few more picture.

We did not request the 16th floor ...just to have our rooms connected.....
My family in 1 bedroom LV and sisters family in LV studio...

.....well we were thrilled when they told us the rooms were connected...but 16th floor. We were on the south side of TOWL first set of rooms on left overlooking pool and lake.

We needed to use our key card to access the 16th floor...you could not just push the button. Very VIP!

Very quiet up there and very private. We were pretty tried every night, but we did go the first night to the deck off TOWL to see Wishes ...beautiful...

Hopefully, I can post photos soon...

Hi. I am in a BLT Studio at the end of next month, standard view.
If I want a chance to be on the outside and see the monorail and/or fireworks/MK, what exactly do I need to request. Thanks so much!

Even number room will get you on the "outside". Personally, I wouldn't make any other requests than that. The south side is the one closer to the Contemporary...the North side is the opposite (obviously). There are standard views on the lower floors in the center section. You would likely see monorail, but would likely have a blocked or partially blocked view of fireworks/theme park from the monorail track, trees, etc.

Would requesting 5th or 4th floor help getting better view?

Quick BLT question. We have never booked this early, but are planning on booking this month for next summer. Debating a few different resort options, but BLT is high in the mix. We really need a 2 bedroom, but are also considering 1 bedroom and a studio. What are the chances they'd be connecting or adjoining? Also, since its DVC is there a different booking window than non DVC. For example, when 2014 packages are released next week could we book, or do you have to wait longer with DVC if you're not a member? Also considering a tower suite in the main tower, so I'm hoping the rates are available at the same time! Thanks!!!
