Ok, let me see if I have this right...
MK view--you look over the parking lot and then see the MK. So you really have both a parking lot view and an MK view simultaneously, right?
The higher you are the less of the parking you will see/notice
Lake View--obviously you see Bay Lake, and likely you see the pool as well. Do ALL (or most, since the data are still coming in) lake view rooms see the pool? Or just some?
Most lake view rooms overlook the pool but some of them have a view of the woods north of the tower as well as the lake and a side view of MK. They also could overlook the Contemporary marina and Bay Lake.
Standard View--now this is where I get confused. It seems like these views also get the parking lot AND some MK views, right? Obviously, I am missing something. Can one of you wonderful DVCers summarize the views for me and correct and/or fill-in the missing information from what I have started?
Standard view rooms could be anywhere around the resort- they might have an mk view, or a ball court view, or a view of the Contemporary resort- basically they are considered views that people would not want- some of them- I would guess less than half have a low level view that is the same as an MK view room- but they are the first few floors of rooms on all parts of the resort.
Thanks! I have been a DVCer for many years, but just added 200 points to BLT 3 days ago! It is the first time I have added on without staying at the resort first!

You are correct. The MK view villas can also see the parking lot. This is a point of contention for some DVCers because they can't see the Magic Kingdom because they only notice the parking lot. Others don't really notice the parking lot because they only see the Magic Kingdom.

All of the Lake View villas with odd room numbers face the pool. However, there are also Lake View villas that are on the outer side of BLT's crescent that do not see the pool. These Lake View villas have even room numbers and are located on the northern side or the southern side of BLT's outer crescent.

Some, but not all, Standard View views can see the Magic Kingdom. Those can see at least part of the MK are even numbered villas that are on the outer side of BLT's crescent, usually in the center segment or the northern segment of the crescent. The Standard View villas on the southern segment and those with odd numbered rooms (on the inner side of BLT) can't see MK.

I don't know if this room# has been mentioned before.
We booked in a standard studio. We were given this first floor lake/Marina/Contemporary view room near the elevators. Even though we had made no special request nor did we ck-in online.
It was nice being so close to the pool & mug refill station. Easy trip to laundry & community hall.
But the housekeeping laundry was right next door!
Good thing my little doesn't take a mid day nap anymore. The banging could be heard every afternoon.
And the carts filled the hallway in front of our door, kind of annoying.
But each night we did walk out of our patio door and sit on the grass & watch the fireworks (even though the bridge was in the way). And twice the kids watched the outdoor movie while I ran back to the room for popcorn.
Thanks to everyone for your pictures and descriptions, and a BIG thanks to work2play for all of your hard work on this thread!
I've been subscribed for a while, as we plan on booking BLT at the 7 month window for our January 2011 vacation. Since my window is rapidly approaching, I did something for completely selfish reasons, and decided I'd feel better about myself if I shared.
We're still talking about what view we want amongst ourselves, and my husband is always asking "which one is that" and "what does that look like?" It's a lot of back and forth for me to get back to the right room, so I went through and hyperlinked the pics associated with each room number.
Hope this helps someone else as much as I anticipate it will help me.

Good afternoon! Has anyone tried on-line check in with DVC membership? Is that even an option? Also, if you have done on line check in...did you get any requests granted? Thank you!![]()
