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

[38053WDW]

So since we are renting DVC points for 2brm BLT MKV do we need to call the company we went trough to add our request or will this come out when I get closer to our travel date (My Disney Experience is all set up) - i see reservation but no where to "check-in" .. We are not going until October. UPDATE .. Just found it (60 Days) >> https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/online-check-in/online-check-in/ >>> Anyone know if a "request" place is in "Online-Check-in" - some say wait until your standing (the day of) in case a room you like, opens up say that afternoon - Great pictures here !

Either the owner of the points can make the room request for you or you can at the 60 month mark access to a link on MDE will show up that will give you a few (think limited) view selections for your room.

View from our 1304 studio

This room is not in Bay Lake Tower. Looks like the Grand Floridian....

Room question- we are going to be staying in a 1 BR lake view. What should I request if I'm hoping to see the fireworks? Last trip we had a 2 BR and got an even number room with a great view! Should I still ask for an even number with a 1 BR?

We have 2 Bedroom-Lake View for our stay May 24-29th...the person we rented the points from requested a high floor room on our reservation...is there any other advice for getting a better view than what we already have done??

Thanks!

If renting points who makes room requests? Also studio lake view and want to see fireworks.

Here are the views from room 8009 - a Lake View Studio. The room was really close to the main elevators, which was nice, but it was a bit of a walk to the Contemporary.

We could see Spaceship Earth during the day and the fireworks from Illuminations at night. I zoomed in to take both of these pictures.

Review of room 8444:

This is a 14th floor dedicated 2 bedroom lake view room on the outer part of the C with views facing the lake, marina and contemporary.

Last room on the hall so no noise at all from other guests passing by. Everything was in good shape in the room - only very minor wear and tear in a few small high traffic spots. Directly above is one of the grand villas - we heard no noise from above or below at any time during our stay.

Terrific views of the electric water parade each night - but the music is audible even with all balcony doors closed. Not loud enough to wake us up, but certainly loud enough that you would notice it if you were awake.

We could also see the Epcot fireworks each night - as well as the Epcot ball.

We stayed in room 8210 which was 12th floor, one bedroom, lake view from May 13th - May 22nd. I know all lake view rooms don't have this great of an angle from your balcony, but we really lucked out here.
I put in a request for a higher floor room with an even number (so we would be facing out) and this is what we got. We were able to watch the Wishes fireworks any night we were back in the room by 10:00.

Here is a panoramic shot that covers the whole view from our balcony.

Just got back, booked standard view and ended up with room 7730, which i thought was a MK view? Anyway it was a great view and room!

I think you got one of those very rare upgrades!

(But maybe check your points just in case to make sure they didn't do something wrong!)

Nice view Popeboy!!

Points are good, room was ready at 11:00 a.m.! I'm wondering if someone cancelled last minute? Anyway it was a great trip!

Great photo....we had about the same view in 2011... We were on the 9th floor....if we looked a little to left off the Master Bedroom we had a clear view of the Castle. My boys are not into Wishes so I watched from the bedroom balcony and had the tv on with the music....it was great!

Been checking out this thread for like 5 years now each time we stay at BLT to be reminded of how to request a room...i.e., what verbiage to use based on the map on page 1 of this thread.

So thank you OP for your time on this! Checking in again in 10 days!

Have you gotten what you wanted all 5 times?

Very similar recent experience - booked standard dedicated two bed and ended up 14th floor lake view. Points are A-OK but I definitely checked on them a few times. Oddly - we did not show up as DVC guests on our wristbands so carried DVC card for TOTWL, etc.

Has anyone ever been upgraded to a MK view?
