BLT TPV or BRV?

[Denamac]

I need help making a decision. We are currently booked February 14-16 in a 2BR TPV at BLT. I’m concerned about the construction and can move us to a 2BR at BRV. I know we lose a bathroom at BRV, but it’s only 2 nights. I’m just super concerned about the construction at BLT. I don’t want to be moved without a choice and fear we could get bumped due to construction. We want to stay in the MK area for these 2 nights before moving to a GV at Jambo. We love the location and convenience of BLT, but is it worth it this trip? We own at BLT so I know we’ll have another chance to stay post refurb. Thoughts? Suggestions? (I’m constantly stalking for VGF 2BR but being Presidents’ Day weekend, everything is booked. We’re already waitlisted for the GV at Jambo for these nights.)

If you are concerned with construction then don't do BLT. We stayed at BWV during refurb and it wasn't too bad, but that is a much more spread out resort. There was a lot of construction traffic and parking was pretty screwed up so we opted to Valet. This is not a concern if you don't rent a car.

I would see when the new Poly tower opens if you can move there, but if not BWV is great after their refurb

If construction - either getting bumped or just the aggravation - was worrying me, I’d change my reservation while the BRV 2BR is still available and put my mind at peace.

Good point about parking! We will have 2 cars since we drive to WDW!

Since I don’t own at Poly, I sincerely doubt I’ll be able to grab a 2BR. But I’m open to studios! I’ll keep an eye open. BWV is one of our favorites but nothing is available and I doubt it will come up for a waitlist since all 2BR are lock-off. There is one night for GV there now, but I don’t want to do one night stays. Plus we really want to stay in the MK area these 2 nights. I appreciate your thoughts!

I did grab the BRV. I just need to release something ASAP. I didn’t grab it the first time I saw it and had regret, so when it showed up again last night I booked it. Thankfully I have the points to play with but need them for a 7 month booking on 10/1. I just don’t want to regret giving up BLT. But BLT post refurb for a longer stay will be better! Right?

Most definitely!

BLT after the renovations will be awesome, IMO. And I can attest the two-bedroom at BRV is very nice. Enjoy!
