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

[ibela]

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!

I have checked in online with a DVC reservation, but had to do it through the DVC Member site not the regular WDW site. I have not been able to add requests when doing this (there is a link but nothing seems to be there to select).

I checked in online (through the DVC site) but if you have specific requests it's better not to because it's a bit of a hassle to change rooms once you come since they have it assigned to you and your little packet is all ready.

You can't add requests online, you have to call MS to add the specific requests for you. Not sure why that section shows online at all.

Thanks for linking the pictures to rooms!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dis'ers. We have MK view and I called a couple months ago and requested a 'high floor'. I'll just wait until we get there to check in if it's difficult to change anything that's already been prechecked in.

We just got back and had an awesome time at BLT! We had a standard view that was great! I didn't realize that neither my husband or myself took a single picture of the view! UGH!

We were near the south elevators..2nd floor..over looking the courtyard and fountain with the pool off to the right!

I fell in love with BLT and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Glad to hear you loved BLT! We're staying in a 1 BR standard view there next April. Can't wait!

I did the DVC check in last month and had also put in requests via the Member's website 6 weeks prior to that.
When I got there around 2:45 pm, our MK view was ready but it was the 4th floor (NOT my request). I had requested "high floor" also. So I asked them if there was anything higher than the 4th floor and they told me there was one on the 9th but it was not ready. I opted to wait (until 4:30 pm) for that room and was glad I did.

I think I read that in earlier post and that's what we'll do. Thanks! Cindy

moving up - lots of questions on BLT views.

 

[Cruella 66]

Hi BLT fans: Silly question: do they have pool towels or do I need to bring my own? We're owners staying on points (first time) so I guess we only get towels every fourth day and I am wondering about the pool towels. Thanks, Cindy

 

[Nancy F]

No need to use your room towels or bring your own.

They have pool towels. I had to ask where they were kept so just as an FYI they are between the pool bar and the restrooms.

Just a quick note to subscribe to this thread. Arriving at BLT on 6/27 for 1st stay there. Lake view studio. Our 1st studio in a longgggg time, so I hope we don't bump into each other much (me, DW and DD). Looking forward to it and thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

We stayed in a studio back in October with myself, DW and DS 8 and DS 4. It worked well enough for us that we picked up a few more days in June (23-25) and again in October.

She's only 7. I'm sure we'll be fine. We're just spoiled, that's all. When she was younger, having a 1BR made sense for the full-size fridge and in-room washer/dryer. Now, she makes a little less of a mess (a little). What do you need the room for at WDW anyways? Just sleep.

Thanks for the responses!

Oh, yes, you will be fine with a 7 year old. Enjoy!

We tried a studio for two nights over spring break with DD (4) and we really missed the 1BR. Yes it was doable, but we admit we are spoiled!

I can totally relate..... last Dec. we stayed in a studio at OKW (it's only 3 of us, 2 adults and a 4 year old). There was a blizzard back home (D.C.) and we got stranded in Disney for 2 more days because the airport here (Reagan) was closed. We contacted DVC about staying 2 more nights but the only room they had was a 1 bedroom at SSR. We took it and moved to SSR. Oh MY.... those 2 nights were wonderful! DS loved the jacuzzi tub and I loved having the washer and dryer and the extra space. We took home all clean laundry! After that stay in a 1 bedroom, I told DH we'll never go back to a studio. We only have a 160 point contract at BLT so staying in a 1 bedroom at BLT this Dec. required us to borrow some points from next year, but that's fine.... I'm willing to do that to have my 1 bedroom again. If I decide I want to go again and stay in a 1 bedroom and did'nt want to borrow points, I would just stay at a lower point resort like SSR or OKW. It was great! Thanks, April

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.

Tricia, wow, thanks for all of the links. Your post is a great place to check out places to stay in the future.

 

[LouisianaDisneyFan]

I'm trying to find a better description of the difference in the floorplans between a lock-off versus a dedicated 2-bedroom unit. Obviously, the extra outer door is one difference. But, what else is changed? I looked through pics that are linked to the 2D room numbers, but all I could find were views and not floorplans. Any additional info would be very appreciated.

Thanks for any help! Evey =)
