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

[inkkognito]

I stayed in 8121 in BLT for the recent media event at WDW (one bedroom suite) and loved it! There is more information and photos at this link but here are some quick comments:

-Thought this was better than MK view due to parking lot. I would much rather look at the lake and pool. Gorgeous sunsets in the morning and water parade every night.

-Extremely convenient from the door underneath the walkway if entering from the outside or from the walkway itself, yet not too close to the elevators so there was no major noise.

-Could hear toilet and tub draining in other rooms but not noisy enough to cause me any bother.

Overall a very good section of the hotel for convenience (getting to the Contemporary) and if you like the lake scenery,

All,
We just stayed at BLT and I thought I would drop a tidbit of information to you all. We booked on Lake View, however, our room was on a corner where we could see MK extremely well. We were very close to Space Mountain.

Our room was 7808, our friends were in 7806. This was on the 8th floor. I would not go much lower than that to see the park. But any floor 8th and up should have a selection for this.

8th - 7808
9th - 7908
10th - 8008

You get the picture.

This will save you some points on an MK view, by staying lake view.

I know the disclaimer that they can't guarantee a particular room, but at least you can request it.

HTH!

Were you in a Studio, 1BR or 2BR?

Thank you!

Per BLT layout on page 1 of this thread, TheGeddings and their friends 7808/7806 were in studios.

7606 is lake view

we were in 7406 standard view studio.
Our view was almost identical to there photos.

ok, 7606 is lake view 6th floor studio, and 7406 is standard view 4th floor studio.

my question is to all DISers: what is 5th floor 75XX even numbered rooms considered standard view OR lake view (I'm aware of 7516-7530 MK view)?

Thx!

EDIT: standard view are only on floors 1-5, and only when the direct lake view is blocked by trees (look at the second map in the first post, blue denotes standard view and yellow denotes lake view). All of the rooms above the 5th floor are considered lake view category rooms.

I hope your GV MK view is XX16, XX20, XX22, XX24 (more-direct-line-of-sight-of-the-castle...no need to look left or right for the castle). Enjoy your grand view!!

Good to know! Thanks!

We are staying in a 1BR in 17days. Requested upper lowers.

From looking at the map my guess is the xx20 rooms have a better more straight on view of castle then the xx26? Is this correct or would they both be comparable?

Views from 8230. This is a dedicated 2BR MK view room.

View from kitchen:

View from living room straight out:

View from living room - hard right:

View from living room - hard left:

View from living room straight down:

We were on the 12th floor. Loved the height, didn't like that we had to stand in the corner of the LR or balconies to see the MK. Didn't like the loud loading dock. There was a great deal of early morning 'loading' going on while we were there. Kids were up each morning at 6:45 or 7:00 due to the noise. Didn't make for the most relaxing vaca we've ever had, but it was fun none the less. We'll be trying for BCVs next time ;-)

HTH.

I'm trying to figure out how many 1 bdrm, standard view rooms there are, as well as the number of 1 bdrm, lake view rooms. One map shows the number of 1 bdrm units & another map shows the number of standard view rooms, as well as lake & MK views. However, I'm not understanding the break down of 1 bdrm units by their view. I must be missing something on how to read it.

We are planning a BLT trip for 2011, and would need to book at the 7 month mark. We would appreciate someone helping us out with the break down of the 1 bdrm units by their view. What do you think our chances will be at 7 months out?

Thanks!

You would need to overlay the first set of maps to the second set. On the first set look for the "green" rooms, those are the 1 bedrooms.

On the second set look at the "green" rooms for a standard view and the "yellow" rooms for a lake view.

It is easier to do if you print the maps and compare them side by side. Hope this helps!

 

[disneygrandma]

Unfortunately, I don't have a color cartridge, only black for my printer. I do see though what you're saying about using both maps. I have just started my research on BLT, so at this time, location isn't important. I'm more concerned with the total number of 1 bdrm standard views, and also the 1 bdrm lake views. Does anyone happen to have that info?

Thanks again.

I've scoured this thread as best as possible for standard view info!

Do any of the standard view 2 bedroom lock offs have any sort of lake view?

If so...what do I request because that's what I'd love to see!

Thanks!

 

[supersuperwendy]

bump! can anybody give me advice for my above question?

It looks like two-bedroom lockoff standard view villas on the 4th and 5th floors of BLT's outer north crescent have some sort of lake view. According to the maps in Post #1, these villas have even room numbers ending in xx04 through xx14. There are some trees on BLT's north side that may obstruct some of the view, but I think you'll still see some water. As a bonus, you should be able to see some of MK and the fireworks. Good luck on getting a good view..

I just want to make sure that I am reading the OP map correctly. We just booked a MK view studio (extremely excited to get that room by the way !!), our room number will have to end in xx18 or xx28, right?

Does anyone have any pics from these balcony's/room? I have looked thru the threads but havent seen any. Just curious.

Thanks
Steve

I am looking for an opinion on the best standard 2br room request. I realize there are not many dedicated 2br units at BLT...but I am looking for an opinion to have the closest to a view and the least amount of noise. Any input????

We are making our first trip to BLT next week. We are driving to WDW and will get there on Sunday, and will check into BLT on Monday, 3/1/2010. We have booked an MK view studio and have done the online checkin. Are there any photos we should take, or anything you want us to check out while we are there?

Thank you for that!! I cant believe that I missed that!! I will definitely request a room that ends in xx18, but I highly doubt that we would be dissapointed with either.

We cant wait to go!!!
