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

JACKPOT!!! Wishes do come true! We got a great room, and one that does not have pictures posted!

It is room 8242, 1 BR Lake view. This is my favorite view! No parking lots, no view of fireworks, no view of the MK.. Just a wonderful view of the lake, Comtemporary (monorail track going from the Contemporary to the TTC), Everest, WL, EPCOT ball, the balloon in DTD. Great view of the water pagent.

If I want to see the MK, the view is terrific from the elevator bank or the TOWL!

When I checked in, I did ask for an even numbered room, they offered me a handicapped accessible room on the 10th floor that was ready, but I really wanted the tub, so we chose to wait. We got a text message at 3:15p with our room assignment. I could not be happier!!

It is soooo much better to have a 1 BR, even though there is just the two of us on this trip! I am saying goodbye to studios! (OK so I will be going to the member event tomorrow at 1PM at the TOWL, may need more points!!) I hope the 2 BR Dedicated that we have reserved for January when we are bringing the boys will have as nice a view. I would really like to get 8244!!

View from LR closer to the window:

View from the BR purposely dark so you can see the view! Amazing!

It looks like to got a great room! We are at BLT 9/30-10/3 in a 1-bedroom LV and we would love to have your room.

Can I ask a favor? If you go to the Member Event at TOWL, can you post back what incentives, if any, there are for BLT at the 50 point level?

Have a great time at BLT. And don't buy all the remaining BLT points -- leave a handful for us!!

We have a MK view studio booked. Is there anything I should request?

We are checking out on Monday, so I will be sure to tell them to have the room ready for you! Too bad we are not overlapping, we could have met for drinks at the TOWL!

I will post tomorrow after the TOWL member event and let you know what they are offering!

Based on what I was told earlier this week, BLT currently has a special that ends 9/30. It was $6 off the $120 price point for 50 - 99 points. He was not sure if thisiould be continued into October, and he stated that he "believes" there will be a price increase effective Nov. 1 increasing the $120 price to ??

Work2play: We had room #8442 in December, and I agree - this is a great view!!

work2play,

What a fantastic view! Thx so much for sharing the pictures...I would love that view when we go in a few months!

Enjoy your stay!

Less than a month until we stay at Bay Lake Tower for the first time.
Thanks for the great pictures and room details!

Thanks for posting your room views, I agree that is the best view for a Lake view. I'm going to try for that same view when we go next month.

Here are the event incentives from today's presentation:

BLT $120/point - Aulani $114/point base

<50 points, no incentives
50-99 $6 per point incentive
100-124 $10 per point incentive
125-249 $12 per point incentive
250+ $14 per point incentive

At the 100 point and above, this is the same as the current incentive plus the extra $2 per point if you call your guide by 9/30. If you are looking at less than 100 points, then I would try calling my guide to see if you could get the $8 points off before 9/30...

Also got a bag, a DVC folio, lanyard, sandwiches, cheesecake pops, a cute DVC pin.. and 3 instant fast passes for each person attending.

If you have an October or December use year, you also might be able to get 2009 points, but alas our use year is September!

Thanks for posting the incentives! Now we have to decide whether we really want to add on points at this time.

You're right. I always want to add on points, but need to wait until we can afford it.

Stayed in Room 7314 9/12-9/16. It was a third floor standard view room. Loved the room and the view. We were able to watch Wishes from the room.

Thanks everyone! I updated the first post again with the picture links!

I am definitely sad to be leaving BLT today (not without an add on though!!)..

I am naming 8242 the work2play memorial room! I hope to get it again sometime!

Keep those pictures coming!

Love the pics everyone! January can't come soon enough for us!

Question: Is there a "bad" MK view room? Obviously higher is better, but are there any MK views where you would be PO'd to have used all of those points for not such a great view? Thanks.

Work2Play: I saw the Epcot ball in your photos. Could you see Illuminations at all?

 

[katiemugs2]

Hi Everyone-
I am getting ready to call tomorrow for a room request, and need some help as this is my 1st time in a standard view, we normally do lakeview. SO, we will have a standard view 1bedroom, and I am looking to see both the fireworks at the magic kingdom, and the monorail as my 2 year old loves watching cars, trucks, trains ect... So, I know to ask for an even numbered room, but what else? Thanks for everyones adding to these thread! It is great!

We just checked in to BLT. We are in #8142, one floor below the work2play memorial room of 8242. Great views of the Contemporary and Bay Lake, and we can even see the monorail. We'll post some photos soon!!

 

[ssawka]

I think all the MK views will have even better views, if they are on a higher floor.

If they are on a higher floor! I think DVC really needs to reclasify the third floor rooms. Room 7326 (I think that's the right number, has a totally blocked view on the balcony from the overhang awning.
