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

[lovin'fl]

DH and I just stayed at BLT for the 1st time. We had lake view studio 7532.

Thanks for posting! DH and I are staying in a LV Studio in December (previously stayed in a 1 bdrm). Can you confirm for me that there is a small night stand on both sides of the bed? Have to admit it is a major annoyance to us that most studios have no shelf/stand on the "wall side" of the bed ~ really, like that person never wants water or a place to put a book...

Yes, there are 2 nightstands (one on each side). They are tiny but enough to sit a book and a glass.

We are leaving next week for our stay!!! We are staying on a 2 bedroom lake view lock off to give my niece and her family privacy if they need it. What would you suggest requesting room wise? Can't wait!!

That's hard to say as it depends on what is appealing to you. Some people want to be close the elevator or else on the 5th floor in order to have easy access to the CR. If you want to see the pool as well as the lake then request an odd numbered room and that would place you looking into the inner courtyard and pool area. If you want a possibility to see some Mk fireworks then request an even numbered room north side. Or if you want to overlook the Marina and be able to see the water parade then request even numbered south side or maybe just marina view.

Kathy,

I guess I would just be happy not to look into other peoples rooms on the corners...I find that creepy and don't want people looking directly into my room either.

Understandable! Request an even numbered room.

you know that is one thing that I don't understand why DVC did this - guess they were expecting more members to be from big cities - not us - who really love our privacy.

of course that does allow more lake views.

OK, I have updated the first post again with all the new pictures.. We just stayed in 8142, one of my favorite lake view 1 BR villas. It was a girls weekend and we had a great time at Festival of the Masters and Food and Wine. We also snagged a last minute reservation at Le Cellier! How cool is that! They were just starting to put up the Gingerbread house when we were over at the Grand Floridian (Nov 10). Took a tour of the new villas.... They are beautiful, but I still like BLT better!! Can't wait to go back! We have a weekend getaway Dec 6-9, just myself and hubby! Another 1 BR Lake view! I have so many magic bands now that I think I am queen of magic bands!! BTW they work great at BLT!

Nice of you to do this thread...it's great info (and must be a lot of work)! I used it before we went (to know where to request). My post was just included in your update and on that 1st post you have it as room 7632 (under 7530) and the room was actually 7532 (if you can correct...thanks).

We stayed in 7818 last week. Amazing theme park view. The room was a little beat up though. I'm actually fairly disappointed in how BLT is wearing so quickly.

Oops! Thanks for catching that! All fixed.

I think it was just poor planning. The lack of sheer drapes was really poor as well.

Wait: there's no sheers? ***?

Nope. They cost money.

I wrote to MS after my first stay in a room where the people walking across the bridge between BLT and CR were easily able to look in the room I was in. That and a few other things. If it bugs you like it bugged me send a message to MS. The choice is either to have your room open for anyone to view in or to sit in a cave with the drapes closed.

You have done a great job on this tread. Am planning a trip next Thanksgiving, 2014, 2-Bedroom Standard view. Will be reading this thread, will take some time.

One question do yiou know the number of rooms in each of the different types? I think that would be interestiing.

Thanks again for the tread

You could determine the number of rooms of each type by looking at the first post and counting them in the diagram shown. I have not done that....
