I read on another forum that BLT no longer has alarm clocks or DVD players in the rooms. You can call housekeeping to get one.
I'm not sure why they don't have these in the rooms anymore.

Disney decided to remove the alarm clocks resort wide a few months ago. The only ones around are likely just in rooms that they knew were coming up for a refurb so they didn't bother. At BWV they actually went in and removed from all rooms whether refurbed or still waiting for refurb.

Poly was the indicator that DVD players were likely going away too. They did not have them installed from the start. And while you are supposed to be able to call and get one the reports are often that it takes a long time.

I think that's terrible.
I like to have a clock next to the bed, so I know what time it is when I wake up. Shame on whoever thought up the idea to remove them. Every hotel I stay in has a clock.

Also, We enjoy getting movies from the community hall & watching on the DVD player in the villa.

I'm disappointed to hear of these changes.

I'm not a fan of the decision either.

Yeah the alarm clock in our room was gone in early December. I hated it. I'm actually bringing my own clock next time!

You are supposed to be able to get one from the resort so you should't have to bring your own.

Hi.
I am in charge of arranging for my friend's trip in September.
I have reserved a LV dedicated two bedroom.
I would like to request something where they would possibly have an even little view of the MK.
I had a great room once and I posted on here with the pictures but I cannot find it at all and I looked back about 20 pages.
Do I request an inside room close to the monorail? I'm all confused.
Thank you very much!

You would want to request an Even Numbered Room near North Elevator.

The Even Numbers are on the outside of the C. Odd Number (inside of C) face the pool and Bay Lake. The top of the C (North) faces Bay Lake w/partial MK View. The center of the C faces the Monorail w/view of MK. The bottom of the C (South) faces the Contemporary Tower. There is an layout in Post #1 of the rooms & views.

There are only three dedicated two-bedroom's that might have a slim view of the Magic Kingdom; 8112, 8212, and 8412. There are 24 other rooms in the two bedroom dedicated lake view category. Those aren't very good odds.

Oh wow, I have a 2 bedroom lake view next summer, hoping I get the view you did!

 

[Love_the_Mouse]

I'm getting ready to book a 2 bed-room villa with a bay lake view for March. I would like my villa to be close to the walk-way that leads to the Contemporary. Is there a particular floor or area I should request when booking my room? Is it possible to get a room close the walkway and still somehow be able to see the MK with a bay lake view?

The walkway is on the 5th floor. The only lake-view room that might have a MK view is the first one in the north tower. Lake view with a MK peek is exceedingly unlikely. You'd have better luck with a standard view.

Room 7316: standard view, dedicated two bedroom.

Okay, thank you so much for the info. The standard view 2 BR's are booked, so I guess a MK view is out of the question this time around. Is there any particular area on the 5th floor I should request if I want to be close to the walkway?

If the desire is near the walkway, or elevators to the walkway that itself is what the request should be. You could also decide which you'd prefer to request between looking outwards towards the CR/Marina/Bay Lake (request even numbered room) or looking inward towards the Pool and Bay Lake (request odd numbered room).

There are maybe 4 rooms across each tower. How close do you really need to be? The farthest room isn't that far away. Are you adverse to using the elevator? Why will you need to get to the contemporary so often?

Buses are easier to get to by walking outside. Magic Kingdom is quicker/shorter to walk to and from. The only reason we used the walkway was to get to the monorail when visiting Epcot or the other monorail resorts.

 

[Love_the_Mouse]

Oh, okay. I was under the impression we had to use the Contemporary area to get to the buses and that we'd have to walk through to get to MK. So I guess I don't need to be close to the walkway at all I'm glad I asked! Thank you so much for the info What floor would you recommend we stay on? Any particular area of Bay Lake Tower?
