We are so close to our first trip "home"!
We're VERY excited....

We check in tomorrow at BLT too, might see you there! Big game tomorrow between our two states, Go Hawkeyes!

Awesome! Can't wait for pics!!

Pretty sure this has already been posted, but here is the view from the balcony of 8228!

More pics to follow...

That balcony picture is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I just noticed that our BLT trip is exactly three months away!

Our vacation at "home" has been wonderful. Our room view is fantastic (one bedroom lake view) with a view of Swan/Dolphin, Spaceship Earth and Bay Lake. Oh yes, the Contemporary pool area, monorail and a sliver of the Grand Floridian.

I'll try to post pictures when we get home, but overall we have been very happy with our room!

From keishashadow:

thanx to the room map thingieupon checkin @ CR I showed it to the CM @ express checkin & she did verify that we had an upper floor in the room range identified as best MK view for LV booking class.

Can requests be made in this manner in hopes of getting this view? It would be awesome to use points for a studio LV room and end up with some of these views of MK. If this would not be acceptable, would North wing, outer facing (not quite sure how to express this) be better? Or could I say North wing, low even number? Is room ending with 06, 08, or 14 to specific? I know requests are just that & they may or may not be granted, but it never hurts to try. Any suggestions would be a great help.

TIA

Your best bet is requesting an even numbered room, north facing.

Some pictures from our BLT room 8036:













We loved our view! We had requested an even numbered room 7th floor or higher, and both requests were met.

The room was in good condition; the only thing we found was the door stop behind the "master bedroom" door was bent.

Here is a look at Room 7944 we stayed at Oct 5-11th for our first stay.

It is a dedicated 2 bedroom unit with a lake view. It was located on the 9th floor at the end of the hallway next to the stairs.

Awesome view

Everything was in good shape and in working order. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Everyone's had great pictures recently....but, man, has it been cloudy! It's been severe clear in Chicago almost the whole month of October. But I keep noticing how cloudy it's been looking in Orlando. Maybe they've all been taken in the morning or something.

But great pictures. I was going to be a big girl and not request an even room, but I think I'm going to give in. But I have until next August to get around to it. Though, I think I'm not going to request north-facing. All views look great.

Hi I am hoping someone can help us one more time, I am trying to pack instead of reading 80 pages of posts... We will be there in a week after our first disney cruise and this will be our first stay at BLT.

We have 1 bed room std view....so after reading first page we want to request 7th floor or higher, rooms 16-30 at the end? then we should have a good shot at MK view...,


Thank you all we are really excited!

Take a look at the first page of this thread. I don't think standard view is higher than the first few floors, but it's all on Page 1.

Got back recently from what is technically our third and fourth stay. We checked in on 10/20 checking out on 10/21 to leave for DCL and checked back in on 10/24 and checked out on 10/25. Both times we were booked for a LV. We made no requests since it was only for the one night and figured we would see what they had when we checked in. We were told that our room was ready and that it would be on the inner crescent (my words not theirs). We asked if they had anything available outer crescent North facing. We were promptly told that we had booked a LV room and that those rooms were all MK view. We advised the cast member of what rooms we were specifically referencing and showed him on a map of the hotel. He once again told us that they were MK view. We told him that we had stayed in these rooms before as LV and to please confirm this with someone. He returned and told us we were correct and then said he had room 7608 available. We took it. My suggestion to anyone using this thread for room requests is to be sure you understand what rooms are what. Even after being open for more than a year there is still confusion on the CM side.

Upon checking back in from the cruise we got room 7608 again. I see that there aren't any pics from 7608. When I get a chance I will post them. We have stayed in 8108 before and can definitely say that higher is better, but since we still had a view of the Castle under LV points who can complain.

I agree. There should not be any standard view rooms that high.

the standard views are only to floor 5 - which is great because it is the one that connects with the CR.

wrong side room numbers 04 -14 you want north side not south side (it faces CR) that say don't be disappointed if you can't get it there are only a few 1-bedrooms here

also know that these pictures are enlarged - you are not that close to the MK.

hey isn't time to start a new one - this thing is long. (if you can)

I wish it truly had been cloudy when we were at WDW. It was VERY warm, and hardly a cloud in the sky....

I did take my pictures in the morning because I thought the sun shining off of the lake made the view harder to see.

Subscribing... I love this thread

I couldnt agree more!! We were there 10/21-28 and it was extremely warm and we didnt see more than a few clouds all week!! I can't say I am complaining about 88-92 degrees everyday, but I sure would prefer a bit cooler when I am walking around all day!

What I wouldn't give for those temperatures right now! Only in the 40s today here in WI!

View from 8442 (1BR)

View from 8128 (Studio)
It faced more toward the CR. Fireworks watching was good, but we could not both sit on the balcony and see the fireworks because the partition blocked the ones near Space Mountain. However, watching sunsets like this fulfilled a lifelong dream.
