Blue Tree Resort at Lake Buena Vista

[unfreshdiva]

Has anyone stayed here before? I just booked it for 11/17-11/24 and hope it is good (rated 5-star by Interval International). 2 bedroom/2 bath with full kitchen for $117 exchange fee. Only two of us, so we will enjoy the extra room. It is very close to WDW which is why I chose it. Any info (good and bad) would be appriciated!

I am an owner there p/m for info

Tried to back out, but Interval International would not let me (they said they could relist week, but it would cost me). Since it's just the two of us and we won't be using pools, I think I'll just keep week (tough to get exchange week during Thanksgiving). If it is as bad as you say, I will complain to Interval! Thanks for your advice.

If you are going to Universal let me know, there is a road that gets you there a lot faster than the highway and when you leave you avoid all the traffic

Yes, we are planning on going to USF/IOA the first two days of our trip. Any easy directions would be appreciated. Also, this resort is pretty close to WDW right?

1.) It is right across the street from the entrance to Downtown disney

2.)In order not to get you lost, ask at the front desk for the back way to IOA. It takes you down to Dr. Phillips drive, and Sand Lake. I can drive it in my mind but I can't remember the names, it takes you through a residental area.

Thank you very much for the information. Hope unit is not as bad as you described (although I will pack some tin foil just in case).
