DUUUDE!!! WOW!!!!! What a view MM!!!!

Very Nice!

I can see why people spend the points on the view, but I still think unless I HAD to use or lose them, I would still opt for SV or LV to save the points. However, I did spend time on our stay there just staring at the park from the TOWL with a drink. Something just mesmerizing about it.

I love the pictures of the Grand Villa. I will be there in 7 months thanks to my sister. Her family and mine will be there exactly 7 months from today.

It looks like New Fantasyland is also changing the view a bit.

Thank You Work2Play & all for your complements.
My older brother has long been a sceptic about going to WDW, but once we stepped into that villa and he saw the view of the castle he was sold.
There were 8 adults, myself, my sister(the DVC Member), our brother, his wife and their 3 daughters, one nephew in law and 2 great nephews-2yrs & 6mo old. It was especially wonderful at night to watch "Wishes" from the our room. We all had a magical time and made many wonderful memories.

We just returned from 4 nights in 7938. I don't see it referenced on the first page so as soon as I can tomorrow, I'll update this post w/ view pix. I didn't bother w/ room pix since the LV studio pix were well covered. I also didn't take any of the TOTWL because there are nice ones here. I'll talk about what I thought though. Though the CMs were nice, they didn't really seem to ant to talk to us nor take our money when we gave it. We ordered 2 drinks and gave the bartender our card as well as a tip and he just left both things sit there or 10 minutes. It wasn't busy. There was hardly a soul there. We had to get the waiter's attention to try and get our drinks paid for and leave. It was nice and beautiful up there but awkward for us.

I will say, having stayed in a 2 BR and going to a studio, even though it as just DH and I so more room wasn't warranted, it was a big jump and one we did NOT enjoy. 2 BRs are NICE for so many reasons.

Just added our room request to our reservation for our first tie there! So excited. Hope the suggestions pay off. Thank you for the wonderful thread.

Do you always need to take the elevator (or stairs) when staying at BLT to get to the walkway which connects to the Contemporary, or is there a floor at BLT which you just walk to the walkway?

Hopefully my question is not too confusing....

I'm glad I found this thread (actually I forgot about this thread until just now ). I just switched our Aug/Sept reservation from a MK view to a BL view and even though I am kind of sad to let the MK view go (never had stayed in a MK view before), I am really excited about having the BL view (stayed in a BL view when we stayed at the CR Tower a couple of years ago and loved it). We are staying 9 nights at BLT (part of the reason why we switched views) and need to really read this thread so I can see what we will be enjoying. Being a LK view does anyone think I should request a higher floor or does it really matter?

Just back from 9 days at WDW, we had a dedicated 2 BR (7744). The south side of the building is growing on me. I really like being able to watch all of the boat traffic and the nightly water pagent. The weather was terrific and the crowds seemed a little lighter. I will say that the parking lot was a zoo the morning that Obama was giving his speech at the MK, but we headed to DHS where they had a one time Rock the Night fireworks display. One of the best I have ever seen at WDW. I had a great conversation with the girl that checked me in, she was really amazed at how much I know about the rooms at BLT! I will say that she did everything she could to get me what I asked for. Although my favorite room is still 8244 (it was not available...), 7744 was also a really great room.

We will be back for a few days at the end of March, I know the crowds will be much heavier, so I can use it as an excuse to stay in the room more!

I love BLT! I hope you all enjoy your stays there too!

Thanks so much for this post and I'm really glad you had a successful trip! We just confirmed our 5th trip to a DVC from a member and it seems that this will go off with out a hitch as the others did. We managed to get two days at BLT (lake view) and can't wait. This post has my DW and me so excited we are like kids not being able to sleep. Have a good night.
