Maybe this has already been mentioned did not read every post Blt does not have a handicap GV. I called member service's to inguire about a GV. I was placed on hold and when MS came back to phone I was informed that they did not make any of the GV H/C(roll in shower) I was a little upset because I bought pre opening and was told that at least one would have a roll in shower. Looks like I will be selling my 210pts and buying more AKV points. I really liked that monorail around the resorts. Have stayed in a 2 bedroom but usually always need a GV. VERY VERY VERY disapointed.....

You should write to member satisfaction and get a verification of this. I just find it too unbelieveable and know that sometimes MS and special needs haven't coordinated information very well.

Edited to add - I feel I heard somewhere along the way that a LV GV was handicap accessible but might be recalling incorrectly.

I made a mental note last August, but now am doubting myself.

What are the toiletries in a villa?

If I remember, it's shampoo and conditioner, but NOT lotion. Can anyone confirm or correct me?

(I know the every 4th day restock, just need details on which products)

In May we had shamppo, conditioner, shower gel, and sun burn relief (no lotion any more).

Such great pictures in this thread. It's been over a year since our stay at BLT and I wish I was there right now! Did they ever finally fix the vanity/kitchenette issue in the studios? It seemed so silly to me to do your hair and make up in the kitchen!

If they only leave toiletries every 4th day, I assume they leave enough?
But you know what they say...assume makes an a** out of u and me....

There are 3 of us and we have never run out. I think one time (not at BLT) they left us 2 shampoos on the refill day. But if there were more of us (and all female with the same hair as DD and I) we would probably run out. I often have a little supply of conditioner of my own that I have just in case.

I was quite sure about the lotion. Thanks!

It depends on how many people you have sharing them whether there will be enough. There is typically one set of toiletries for each bath, so in a 1 BR there is one set by the whirl pool tub, one set in shower stall, and one set in bath near front door.

Here some views from 7927, which was a 1-bedroom:

We loved this room! The views were great, and the room was neat and tidy.

I have a question I hope someone can help with. We have our first BLT stay In October in a Studio Lake View. My Mom is staying with us and we need a little more bathroom privacy than the "sink in the kitchen" for getting ready and changing clothes daily. I saw on here that some Studios are renovated and now have the sink in the bathroom. My question is - are all Studios updated now, or just some rooms and I would need to call MS and make a request for one of the renovated rooms?? Thanks for any help!!

I know a lot of you do Garden Grocer (here or at other resorts). While we are probably taking ourselves to the grocery store, we are doing so on our way into the resort. We don't expect our room to be ready, but want to head to Epcot.

DH needs reassurance that Bell Services will refrigerate and freeze the necessary food items. From things I've read here, that seems true, but I would like confirmation.

TIA!

Just got back. We had 7318 (MK view, third floor, studio) for July 4, and then after a cruise had 8404 (LV, 1 BR, north tower outer) for a week.

We booked the MK July 4 view right at the 11 month point, and were disappointed to have been put on the third floor in 7318. We told them we were willing to wait it out for a better room, but they wouldn't budge and said every MK room was booked and that people who want MK for July 4 usually show up earlier and try to move up before the 4th. We also asked for a north tower outer LV studio on a higher floor, but they had nothing. In the end, it wasn't too bad. It's mostly a gorified parking lot view, but you can see the castle and we had a direct view of the July 4 fireworks. Whatchagonna do? It's hard to justify paying so many more points for that room than the standard view below it. But I suppose that's the way it goes.

8404 was a very nice room, with a panoramic view of the lake facing north. Post 1112 is the same room a few floors down, and it's basically the same view. You need to crane to the left to see the castle, but for LV points, it made up for the not so desirable room on July 4.

FWIW, the July 4 fireworks aren't just above the castle -- there are also some above the lagoon. So, if you are hopeful to see the full fireworks show from your room some time on July 3 or 4, even the best LV rooms in the north tower might not be good enough to see all the fireworks. If we had it to do over again, we probably would have just hopped the monorail and watched from the Poly beach, which would have been a fantastic viewing spot.

We fly in and do the Limo thing (HappyLimo) .. the kids love it.. and for as much money as you spend for the vacation it is nice to have the car waiting on you and to take you back... Yes, a little overboard but we get a stop (included) on the way to the room at the Grocey/Liquor store and then a McDonalds hit on the way back to airport.... Just stay out of Starbucks for few weeks before you go and you have the limo taken care of

Thanks. We're renting a car.

My main question was assurance that bell services would hold all cold and frozen items while we wait for our room to be ready and go to a park--even if it's not delivered by a service, but dropped off by us.

Sorry for the confusion.
