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

[DVCGeek]

We are staying in a standard view studio, are there any on the 5th floor & do we want a room close to the bridge?

There are only three standard view studios on the 5th floor [the highest with any std], but they are away from the skybridge. Some have remarkably good views (IMHO), but you'd have to get really lucky to get any of them above the 3rd floor. You might get a better feel for the floor distribution using DVCNews RoomFinder database:

view straight ahead

view to the left

it's the same view to the right. Great room!! only problem we had was a small chunk missing from the counter. See for yourself.

Wow! Isn't that granite? I'd be inclined to think that happened upon installation because I can't think of something that the average guest would have with them that would break granite like that.

Room #7136 and #7138 (7136 is the 1 Bedroom and 7138 is the studio)

We stayed here from December 16- December 23. We had a standard view room but it was far from standard to us! We were on the first floor which I was originally disappointed about but then it turned out to be awesome!

It was chilly the week we were there and our patio was in the sun so it was so nice to sit out there and read while taking in the views. If someone was staying in the room, we could quickly walk right from our patio to the Contemporary, the pool, etc.

It was so close to the door to walk over to the bust stop or to the Contemporary for food. We could also quickly hop on the elevator a few doors down to go to the walkway for the monorail.

I would LOVE to have this standard view again on a future trip.

Here are the pictures of our views:

This room was very nice- a few scratches and dings on furniture but overall very nice. The studio portion (7138 was not renovated yet with the new sink and lock). The 1 bedroom (7136) did have the bar stools at the island in the kitchen which the kids used the whole week! It was a very quiet location and it felt like we had our own little yard in front of the patio. I was so glad we got this room as the rooms on the inside of the "C" were all in the shade which would have made me stay inside with the cooler temperatures.

We loved BLT!!!

I thought I would mention that when I stayed at BLT, the 4 studios near my room were all under construction, fixing the bathroom sink issue! What a major remodel that is! I will try to post a picture.

Wow-I had no internet from Tues-Fri last week and was out of town Fri-Sun and I didn't miss one post on this thread! We need more people to go on vacation or have questions or something!

I was able to add a day to my 2 BR LV res for Aug! woo hoo!

We will be there in August too, but in a 2 bedroom SV room. I am hoping for anything but first floor, but after seeing the post above, if that is our room, I could deal.

in response to greg, sorry i couldn't get to the thread before .
[ but since you are a blt owner]

...you was not in our room. we didn't pay big money for a hotel-8
type room. there is no way that they didn't know how bad that
room was. but to be 100% accurate, i checked with the workers
& they confirmed they reported all the damages before we walked
in.

fyi, make no mistake about that "lil' detail", before we purchased blt,
& the amount of points....we asked that question directly...we
would not settle the third floor as a theme-park view. nor do i think
we would be the only ones.

the extent of this room damages were way beyond reason. iam
totally anger with management, for tolerating this.

moving on...

wow! how did that marble top got damaged? it looked like
they took a hammer to it.

some of the people we saw @ blt were not guests. they were doing
business involving something i thought i would never see @ wdw.
when we started putting all our observations together, then it's
pretty darn obvious that blt needs security personnel.

while i thought our room was the worst for damages, the workers
made it clear there were others! they also spoke of guests stealing.


that expensive electronic side door leading out toward the comtemp.,
had major damage. if you was standing 10 feet away &
sideways, it would opened. many times it was wide opened with no
body around. look closely, and there was a large gap between both doors
even when it was closed.

this was our first visit @ our home resort. we did not deserved such
a damaged room. no one does. now the first week, we could have not
been more impressed~ our room was prefect. our second room would
have been if it hadn't been so mangled.

I don't blame you for being upset about the condition of the room, anyone would be and you apparently handled it the right way by brining it to the attention of management.

You other paragraph about "lil detail" is confusing and I can only pass along what I was told - theme park view could mean 3rd floor, in fact it could mean 1st or 2nd floor.

If you have issue with room classification I would talk to member services; however, DVC as of today has the right to assign you ANY floor that is now considered theme park view. I can understand that you may not have liked being on the 3rd floor but not every guest can get the higher floors - some guests will have to fill those rooms on the lower floors.

Just back from 5 day trip - LOVED BLT. We were in a 1 BR MK view. Beautiful view of Space Mt. Castle and monorail. We had a great view of the fireworks. Went to Top of the world 1 night but too cloudy to see much. the next night MK closed at 6:00 & no Fireworks because of a big press night announcing the new Fantasyland plans and new cruise ship but we saw a beautiful fireworks show around 10:00 done for the event. Walked to MK, walked to Contemporary hopped the monorail to TTC to Epcot. Can't wait to stay there again.

What floor/room did you have if I may ask? We had a 2BR MK view on Nov and it RULED! But next time we'll be in a 1BR.

Forgot to post the room number - we were in 7920 9th floor.

As I was searching through this thread and not finding exactly what I'm looking for, the thought occurred to me to just ask...has anyone gone through and figured out all the lake view rooms that have views of the MK already so that I can save myself a few hours of tedious work...don't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been invented.
If anyone knows if this has already been listed in the thread could you please share as I've had no luck finding exactly that information.
Thanks so much! Going in April, Lake view but hoping for a MK view!!

I think the best way to request that is North end/side, even numbered room. There aren't a lot, so you'll have to be lucky to get one. The first page of this thread has pictures of the views from the different types of rooms.

Yep, it's already posted... just go to the first post in this thread and scroll down the room list. There are notations of the room size and reported view for each room. All you have to do is look for the size room you have reserved and read the notes. If there are photos of the view, you will also see a link so you can view it for yourself.
