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

[Paging Tom Morrow]

In August we stayed in 7420 and 7920. Both were 1BR MK Lock-offs.

Work2play - just a reminder to update page 1 with the info for std. view studio 7514 (with awesome views). Thanks again for all your fantastic work!!

My adult children stayed in SV 1br 7335 with a view of bocce courts and fountain. They loved it. Housekeeping was poor -- no Tide on arrival, and no T & T either. They do not want to stay at any other DVC properties in the future! for them.

I found the halls too flourescent for me. I will give the BLT a try, but don't think I'll like it as much as the youn 'uns did.

We just got back from a week in 8412. It was a handicapped accessible, dedicated 2-bedroom. It was a "standard" view but had great views of the MK and the fireworks. It looked directly over the tennis courts with the lake to the right and MK to the left. The "Not So Scary" fireworks were AMAZING from our room! Also interesting to wake up in the middle of the night and listen to the construction going on in Space Mountain.

Just an FYI if you stay on a higher floor on that side of the tower...beware of the buzzards! We could not spend much time on our balcony as they would swoop us. One actually dove at my 9 year old as he sat on the balcony playing his DS. Hope they do something about that!

Very disappointed in our room designation. Noted from a previous poster that they had 7514, studio - which would have been just 2 doors down from us. I think our room should have been designated a std, too as I didn't feel it was high enough. Monorail track obstructed view of GF and Poly.

I got the impession from the previous poster that, even though they had a standard view reserved, the 7514 studio was an upgraded view after she asked about a particular location upon check-in.

At least one person besides this person has reported 7514 was a standard.

Many people have initially thought they received an upgrade, but it turns out not to be. If you see Work2Play's TR, she initially thought her 3rd floor room was an upgrade. The next day, she asked the CM and the CM said it was standard. The CM thought there were some standard rooms as high as the 5th floor.

This is odd. 7514 was a standard room and 7518, 2 doors down, is a MK view?

Hi- I just wanted to check your post. I would think that 8412 would definitely be considered a "lake view" room, not a "stanard view" room. Can you please confirm? Also, the map that I have shows 8412 as a 1 BR that can be connected to 8414 (studio) as as "lock off", not a dedicated 2 BR. I am wondering if the room number is correct, could it have been 8402?

Yes, I was told that if you can see the MK by standing inside the room (not going to the balcony), then the room is MK view. Since 7518 is between the two elevator banks, it definitely faces directly to the MK. Not exactly two rooms down since the elvevator bank is also there.

There have been complaints WRT to rooms on the 5th floor and the monorail track blocking the view.

Did you happen to take any BLT pics, frodgeslovedisney? We check into a Std View Dedicated 2-bdrm in just 8 days!

What are the differences between the regular and HA units?

We were in 8221. Lockoff one BR, Bay Lake view. Great view of lake and pool.

Thanks for doing this.

We have a HA dedicated 2 BR in Dec. We are curious as to which bathroom is accessble (roll in shower).

Strange about the buzzards and the construction in the middle of the night. Must be some top secret stuff going on in SM.

The buzzards seemed to hang out in the trees by the lake on the north side. We counted more than 20 at a time. We wondered if there was a Disney trash dump near by as we could see them circling the trees just north of BLT every day.

We just got home yesterday from a week at wdw. We only stayed in BLT for one night, but it was great!

We were in room 7504, 1 bedroom standard view. Located on the 5th floor. Out our balcony and living room windows, we had a view of trees. But if we looked slightly to the left, we saw space mountain and the castle! The the right, we saw the lake. It was a perfect view for a standard view room. We were not expecting to see any part of the MK with a standard, but it was great to see it all! The view also from the roof was amazing! We are returning to wdw in oct 2010 and are hoping to get as many nights as we can at blt.

I've posted elsewhere but thought I should add my details here. We stayed last week in room 8102 - a dedicated 2 br with Bay Lake view on the 11th floor. This is the farthest room from the elevators on the outer edge of the "C". I was so pleased that our request for an even numbered room on a high floor was honored. These were our views:

Great work on the maps. Just had one question. We have a 2 bedroom dedicated MK view for December. So I presume it would be a room ending in 16, 22, 24, or 30. The strange thing is when I saw Jack's spence review of the Grand Villa it was room 8417 and had a MK view. Maybe the Grand villa's are numbered differently? Here is the link below. I figured this room should be 8416.

Yes, I believe those are the correct room numbers for 2 BR dedicated MK view. I looked at the Blog and he definitely has a picture of 8417. Maybe they are numbered differently, but that would be really surprising. Maybe someone can check the next time they are there. Just take the elevator up to the 14th floor and see if 8417 is on the same side as the elevator...

We stayed in 8041 last week - view was beautiful of bay lake and the pool. We could see for miles - it was a very relaxing view looking out and a nice view looking down into the courtyard.

TOW was very nice for fireworks. Calm, relaxing and a great view.

Great place to stay (hated check in though - that was a mess - once you get by that its wonderful)
