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

All,

We have an Autistic son and his passion is the monorail. I had a LK but was on wait list for SV hoping to get a room with monorail view. Now that I have the SW, what would give us the best chances of getting a room with monorail view?

What I have gather:

Non-first floor
Even number

Is this correct? Any other requests? We will be there in Feb 2010.

Thanks.

We stayed in 7525 & 7527 (2 bedroom lockoff- lake view)

The room was on the 5th floor, the same floor as the skybridge to the Contemporary. So fabulous! It was not noisy at all (we were about 3 doors down from the elevator)

We were in the middle of the BLT, overlooking the fountain and trees. The view of the trees in the courtyard pretty much covered up any view of the pool. We did have a nice view of the lake, though. It was fantastic to watch the parasailers every day! We could see the back half of the electric water parade every night.

Loved the location!

Ask for an even numbered room close to the elevators.

Should I request to stay on the 5th floor? Is that a good floor to stay on?

We never had any trouble waiting for elevators. There is a lot of foot traffic on the 5th floor between the sky bridge and the elevators in BLT, but it sounds like the noise is not bad. Even though you don't have to take the elevator to go over to the Contemporary, you will have to take the elevator (or escalator) to get to the monorail. If you are going to DHS or AK, you will have to go to the first floor to get to the bus, so that will mean a trip on the elevator....

The word request wants to make me cry right now...We just back back from Kidani...I took the time to figure out which rooms would be best for us...Called MS to make our request...And it true when they say requests are considered but not automaticlly granted...We got completly opposite of any of the locations we wanted...So now I am not so sure if I will waste my time again...


We are looking to book BLT next July...Is it worth our time to figure out and make requests?

Any thoughts out there?

Just finishing up our week at BLT. WE LOVED IT!!! We stayed in Room 8044 (10th floor) which is a Lake View, last room at the end of the hallway on the South Side. It was a dedicated 2BR with a fantastic view of the lake.

As others have posted from different floors near this room I could see the following; Contemporary, Contemporary Pool and Courtyard, Marina, Bay Lake, Electric Water Pageant and the BLT/Contemporary Walkway from our balcony. In the distance you could also see EPCOT and the Swan.

We just got back from BLT and love it and loved our view. We had just requested that our 2 rooms were on the same floor and they were able to put us right next to each other which was great! We had MK view booked and that was totally what we got. It was great watching all the action, monorail and seeing the fireworks from our room each night. We were in a dedicated 2 bed #7716 and studio #7718. The middle elevators were close by and we did not feel that we were too low. We looked straight at the fireworks and felt the view was perfect. If we leaned out and looked left we could see a bit of Bay Lake. I will post some pictures when I get them uploaded.

Wasn't the view incredible from there? We had 1 floor below and 1 to the right (a 1BR) about 6 weeks ago, and absolutely loved it!

How many Stand View 1bd are there???

The list doesn't have too many.

Thanks,

Yes, it was a fantastic view!

I would not request a specific floor since the views are very similar floor to floor. Some like a higher floor so you can see farther, but there is lots to see close by. Better to request odd or even which are different views, or north or south... My pick is even numbered so you don't have a chance of getting a room that looks across to another room with the view to the side...

I am guessing 15-20 based on the maps and posts so far...

Got back last night from BLT. Requested north tower, outer ring, as high as possible. We got 7602, a dedicated 2BR at the very end of the hallway. We **loved** it.

We watched the fireworks from the master bedroom balcony every night (views below). The only complaint that I had was that there is only ONE internet connection in the villa -- it is in the master bedroom. I don't understand why they didn't put them in the living room, or at least in the other bedroom! For folks who want more than 1 hookup, that could be a benefit of a lock-off.

Views:

To the right (view straight on is pretty much the same, with more trees)

We got back last night from 6 nights @ BLT - our first stay "at home" . We had room 7340, a lockoff studio lake view on the 3rd floor. It is NOT a handicap accessible room. ME got us there on Sunday the 30th about 2:30 PM and room was ready; I did online check-in estimating 2 PM. No line when we got to the desk. I didn't make any room requests and we were happy with the room, although I think more (or at least brighter) lights might have been nice when the blinds were closed...

Checked into BLT earlier today.

We requested a high floor. Received 7842 and love the room.

We were able to watch a couple boats come in that must have had something to do with pirates, because we could hear them from the room.

We were able to see the end of the Epcot fireworks after getting back to our room from TOWL. Fun listening to the oohs and ahhs from the Contemporary balcony. We also watched the Electric Water Pageant from the room. Will post pictures at some point.

DVCGeek ~ was that a bay lake view or a standard view?
