All 2 BRs and probably 1 BRs have the same number of stools in them. Location of room won't matter. Same with the laundry area. Odd and even makes no difference. The distinction between odd and even is what side of the building you wat to be on for a view. That's all. Enjoy! We'll be there too in Jan.. Our last stay at BLT was in a 2BR and Lordy it was HEAVEN, PURE HEAVEN! The amount of space you have is intoxicating! And addicting!

. I do believe that there are indeed differences? If you're staying in a room on the OUTSIDE of the BLT (facing the MK), then your washer/dryer are stackables in a "closet" and you do not have stools at your Island. If you're staying on the inside of the "C", then you will have a "room" specifically for your laundry needs, and stools at your Island.

Can anyone else confirm this? Just want to be sure we all have the correct info... thx!!

Wow! Well, that'll learn me. THANKS! I can't, for the life of me, figure out whey they'd put thet much extra work and difference into the rooms like that. that's more manpower and more money! GASP! Why they wouldn't have stools at an island would be confounding! UGH! The only other villa we've stayed beside the BLT one at so far was a 2BR AKV Kidani. Other than general obvious differences, they were similar. We stayed on the outside of the C in a TP view room and we had stools and the laundry was in a closet. Goes to show that you should expect the unexpected! And... not ASSume! Sorry for being the bad info bearer!


I can't find my all photos right now of the room but here's one. You can see the island chairs.

So, outside c has island stools but inside the c doesnt? Thanks! Confused

My personal bet is they both do. The DVC model made no distinction in decor and between stools and none as the model had stools and it just makes zero sense not to. I'm trying to help my son w/ a homework project at the moment or I'd search the photos. I BET you'll find what you need.

Thank you, ppony!

It is correct that there are design differences in many of the outer and inner C rooms b/c of the curvature of the building. Most of the inner C rooms are narrower by the window and have less space in the living room/kitchen area. That is why there are not any stools at the island. The room is slightly pie shaped so the wider part of the wedge gave more space for a laundry room. The outer C rooms are opposite with the larger part of the wedge by the windows and more space in the living room/kitchen area and space for stools. But there wasn't the same amount of room for an entire laundry room so it's a closet instead.
With 9 I'd request outer C to get more living space and skip the big laundry room.

Thanks Kathy! I will call Ms back tmro... we will def need more living space.

The rooms on the inner C (that I've been in) do NOT have stools. The outer C rooms have stools with the stackable where the inner C rooms have no stools and the laundry room.

I preferred the "roominess" of the outer C living area and the stackable washer/dryer.

Either way, the resort is great.

Well I'm certainly learning something today. Who wants a larger laundry room on vacation?!?! I want room for my family to eat and relax! EEEK! Good stuff to know I had no idea the difference in space was that noticeable. Enough to require removing furniture! Me no likey!
Then for you ree123, I HIGHLY recommend asking for an outer C room with 9 people. I can't imagine trying to put that many people, even in a 2 bedroom, where the living and sleeping areas are slightly smaller than on the outer C. It was so amazingly spacious on that side!

Okay, I guess I am the odd man out here. I love OKW because of the full size laundry room. We are a family of 6 and do alot of laundry while on a dvc vacation. Plus the stack washer and dryer seem much louder to me. DD was on the sleep sofa once while on a SSR vac. and had problems falling asleep if the washer/dryer were on. At home she shares a room with her 8 year old sister and lives in a college dorm....she is NOT a light sleeper. Maybe it was just the particular washer/dryer that trip, but given the option we take a laundry room vs. a stack washer dryer, but we usually get a 2 bedroom so room isn't an issue for the 6 of us.

But, i do like the stools.

We will be at the BLT soon (12-4-11) in a 2bedroom magic theme view, anyone have a suggestion in what room# we should request? Thanks! Forgot to mention it is a dedicated theme.

We just stayed a week at BWV, and the stack washer/dryer there wasn't that loud... except for the buzz that the drier was done. Holy carp, that buzzer was so loud, I'm surprised the neighbors didn't complain. No way to turn it off, either. So not something we could run before we went to sleep.

All things considered, though, I'm glad we have the outer ring request for our April BLT stay. I'd rather have the extra living space for sure.
