We were in 7230 which is a Std View 2 bdrm (Dedicated) unit from 10/9 to 10/17. We had a wonderful view of the Contemporary to the left, the monorail line straight ahead, and the castle and Space Mountain to the right. Loved it!

Oh how lovely that sounds for a standard view. We have booked a dedicated 2bdr for January, and hope to get that lucky. Do you have any pictures? What floor is that? I forget how to figure it out. Did you have any requests on your reservation? Sorry for all of the questions!

We got back last night. We stayed in room 8108. It is a studio lake view, but has a great view to the left of the MK. We arrived at approx. 11 a.m. and were told that our room was ready. I asked if they could tell me the room # and she said not yet, but she knew it was on the 4th floor. I then asked if she knew if it was close to my requested room type. She asked what I was looking for and I told her. She told me she had room 8108 available and it too was ready. We jumped on it. We never did find out what the room number on the 4th floor was. I will post pics a bit later when I have the chance to upload them.

*FYI* There is no room 8114. 8112 is the last #. The spot where 8114 should be appears to be a maintenance area and elevator.

What did you state as your request? I have a lake view studio reserved for Memorial day week. I want your view!!

Originally I had made a specific room number request, because there were no real designations at that time. The person at MS I spoke to said that it was better than nothing and we agreed that we would put that in with the addition of "or as close to it as possible". After going through this thread enough I was able to come up with a better way of asking for what I wanted and called back and made that request. Upon checking in I don't believe I was getting exactly what I asked for because I had asked for as high a floor as possible and they told me I was on the 4th floor. At this point I asked for more specifics to see if it met my request. The CM said "what was your request". I told her I wanted a North facing, upper floor, on the outer part of the crescent with a partial MK view. She told me she had room 8108 and we grabbed it. This thread made this all possible. Before I left I made sure to know exactly which room numbers would meet my request so that when I checked in I would know if I was getting what I wanted or not.

So does this mean you were on the 11th floor?

I'm in room 7404 which is suppose to be a bdr standard view. It's not really unless you look to the left. You can see the tennis courts and the parking lot. But if you strain you can also see Space Mtn and the Castle. But if you look straight out this is what you see.

With about 25 vultures staring at you. No lie.

Yes, 81XX is the 11th floor at BLT. The first floor is 71XX and goes up from there.

Hi,

Can someone please tell me a good room to request for a one bedroom standard view or lake view (we want to be in a high floor)?Z

We just got back and we had rm #8112. It was a HCrm. 2br D lake view. It was the first rm off of the northside elevator.Its also had a view of the tennis courts plus a very good view of the park.

What days were you there? We were there 10/21-10/26 in room 8108. We must have been neighbors.

If you want a high floor, then you have to request lake view, standard view rooms are all on the lower floors (5 or lower). All the rooms are "good" at BLT! What view are you trying to get?

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Yes, 81XX is the 11th floor at BLT. The first floor is 71XX and goes up from there.

Believe it or not, i have actually read this whole thread, including the first post that has the pictures and the minus 70 thing. ( Who thought of that crazy rule for room numbers?) Anyway, I was just making sure I understood it

 

[Camping Griswalds]

I have kind of an odd question. Just curious, what type of room are there the most of in BLT? Meaning studio, vs one bedroom vs 2 bdr etc. Also, views wise...is there more standard vs MK vs Lake?

Check out this link for a quick list: http://dvcnews.com/index.php/resorts/bay-lake-tower/general-information

IIRC, it was originally supposedly going to be 10% Std., 20% MK, and 70% LV, but GV are only LV or MK. If you study the charts on the first post in this thread you can get more details.

Hope that helps!
