Hey Steph!!

I want to stay at BLT again sooooo bad...sadly my hubby didn't love it like I did. I have a feeling he won't want to stay there again in the future...

Meh. Let's send our DHs to ALV (which is still NICE ) and you and I can stay at BLT. My DH didn'tlike it as much as I did either but he's agreeable to staying there next time so I'm crossing my fingers! Work your womanly whiles Wendy!

We just stayed at BLT for the first time from december 3rd-8th...we lucked out. We booked a studio standard, and ended up in room #7541! It has a partial Castle view from the balcony, and is the first room once you come over the bridge/walkway from the contemporary...I still cannot believe we got the room! I knew the number from this thread, and without even requesting, we got it! LOVED it, and can't wait to go back!!

Yes! Yes! Information is power!

We arrived at BLT at around 2 PM yesterday. I had decided that I really loved the view from 8242, so I wanted to try for a room on that side of BLT Since we were checking into a dedicated 2 bedroom, that means that I wanted a room that ended in 44.

Success!! Room 7744, here are some view pictures. I did like the view being higher up (8242) , but this room has a great view too! It is fun to watch all of the boat traffic to the Contemporary dock and the boats headed over to the seven seas lagoon. It is also fun to watch the monorail entering the Contemporary from the TTC. When we want to watch fireworks from somewhere other than Main Street, we can head up to the TOWL!

I love getting to be the first to post pictures for a room! I also love the dedicated 2 bedroom unit. There are 4 of us and with the two bedrooms, we have tons of room!

Here are a few more view pics:

Thanks for the dust. Unfortunately, we have to keep them crossed. I thought I could do the DVC add-on, but that's only within 7 months. By then, there will be more points in the acct (another story). So, while today there "was plenty availability," I have to wait until next Tuesday to make the reservation.

Oh well.

Still can't wait--whatever happens.

You made me think of something. can you call before your 7 month opening date to just inquire to see if there is availability? Not book it, just check to see?

Yes, you can if you within 7 days of that 7 month window. For example, we are checking in on August 10th to BLT but are considering changing the first two nights to a BW view room at BWV.

I could call tomorrow and ask for availability for the nights from the 4th through the 11th (which would include the nights I am looking for). MS would then be able to tell me which of those nights are available.

Of course, I would not be able to book them so it really does no good. Since what I want is a long shot, I will end up wait listing anyway so don't plan on calling ahead.

Well, I thought I was actually making a reservation with BLT points, so I asked for availability first, since if there was none, I'd have to wait until Tuesday to reserve somewhere else. So, I'm not within that 7 day mark, but I honestly called to make a reservation. On the other hand, I did consider calling yesterday to check availability, but time got away (darn the Christmas cleaning). I did not really know that I should not call for availability. I just knew they could see what was available from my experience last August.

Sadly, we got there after dark and left in a rush in the morning and we only had one night there so all my pix are night pix. SO SAD. This is a 2 dedicated bedroom villa. Room number #8024

I thought the spout on the tub was a bit...oh, unfortunate looking.

AND. our view

I assumed Minnie & Mickey faced each other in the Ded. 2 BR's. Interesting to see they don't in ppony's pics... Think they got in a fight? Anyone know if the placement is the same in all the rooms?

In our second bedroom Minnie was by the window. It looks like it is the same in ppony's pictures but the room is reversed from what ours was so they don't face each other. I think they're still ok!

Thanks for posting the pictures of the 2 bedroom dedicated! I am so excited!

I'm going to have two kids sleeping in the living room, and I heard there is a pull out couch and a chair that pulls out to a bed? Could I see photos? Thanks so much!

Work2play - From the moment you started this thread I've followed and enjoyed it. Excellent work and tremendously informative for us BLT owners. Thanks!

Here are the photos of the chair and the sofa, we have the chair next to the sofa because it is very comfortable to sit in to watch TV and we do not need the chair to sleep on....

The chair unfolded (my son is 6 feet tall!)
