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

I believe its a MK view. Is Toof the World Lounge appropriate for kids?

All of the MK view rooms are about the same, the only difference is how high up you are. We were there in August and there were kids at the Top of the World Lounge, it is kind of a bar, but the observation deck, which is outside has amazing views! Have fun!

Hi everyone! DH and I are planning to buy into DVC at BLT. We "toured" in Sept. We are very excited about it! We would like to have already purchased, but due to the accident (2007, someone ran a red light, killing our son), we have to deal with a lot of med bills not covered by the kid who hit us (not enough insurance). Unfortunately, we have to mind our Ps and Qs. We are hoping by Feb. we'll be able to buy in, if not, however, we will be renting, likely, for our next trip. We are planning a vow renewal next November. From what I am gathering, we won't be able to use TotWL if we rent. Is that true? If so, we'll want a better view. TIA and sorry I'm long winded!

In a LV dedicated 2-bedroom...wanting to see the MK...North or south?

I am thinking NORTH

Here are the views from 8441 - dedicated 2BR lake view (sorry if this room was already posted!)

Fabulous view! Makes me wish we were Lake View instead of Standard View dedicated 2 bedroom.

Correct.

From what I am gathering, we won't be able to use TotWL if we rent. Is that true?

Based on current policy [which could change at any time especially since TotWL is NOT an amenity in the DVC POS] I think you probably COULD visit TotWL with anyone staying in your room @ BLT; since when you say "rent" I assume you mean a private rental from a member, so as far as Disney is concerned I think you would be that members guest. Based on what I was told and reported a few posts ago (http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=34603217&postcount=478) I think you would be allowed up. However, if you booked through Disney's Central Reservations, I do NOT think you would be able to go.

Also, people who aren't staying in BLT might not be allowed up. But, one way around that could be to add them to your reservation (up to the occupancy limit; 4 studio, 5 for a 1 BR, etc.) so they are registered guests and would get key cards, then just not actually sleep in said room...

Good luck and hope you have a great trip!

right now the girls at the desk only want to see one ID - no matter how many guests are with you. this might change - but so far it has not.

so one guy with at least 10 other people and she only needed to see his ID.

Here is a couple of photos of our MK view. We LOVED watching the fireworks every night!

Thanks Sandi, was this your second stay at BLT? Which room did you like better?

 

[Camping Griswalds]

I just had added to my reservation a request.....even numbered room, high as possible, north tower. We have booked a dedicated 2 bedroom. Standard view. I'd love a chance to lean out dangerously over the building to see fireworks at the MK. Is this a decent reasonable request, or should I alter it a bit?

Standard view won't get you very high unfortunately.

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Okay, I have seen where several of you have stated that you have printed out the maps here and taken them with you at check in. This may be silly question, but how did you print them ?

Yep, I'm aware of that, so that is why I asked on here about my request. Perhaps I should just narrow it down to even numbered room, North side?

Sorry for your loss of your your DS. It is my understanding that there is a recent clarification in the rules that renters are not eligible for DVC member perks and are not eligible to use TOTW. It would depend on whether the member you rent from reports to MS that you are a renter. As a DVC member's guest you would be eligible to go up to TOTW. Therefore, if your keycard shows DVC member you should be able to go up to TOTW.

Best Wishes for you in the new year.

I just did a print screen from the forum.

I'd recommend leaving it as is and hope for the best as long as you won't have HIGH expectations.

The maps they are referring to are in Post #1 of this thread.

How terrible. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I think the prior poster is right -- so long as the member making your reservation doesn't reveal that it's a rental, you shouldn't have any problem. You'll just be treated as a guest of the member, and your keys should adequately identify you for admittance. No way to be sure, of course, until you get there -- but that's true generally since they can change the rules at any time.

Best of luck.
