Which one would you choose and why?
(No availability in Tower tpv)
(No availability in Tower tpv)
The room size does concern me since we'll just be coming off a 7 night cruise and have already been cramped for a week lol.It depends. The studios at BLT are tiny, and if you're comparing BLT studio to a tower Lake View, no content on tower Lake View. It's more complex if you're paying for a 1BR, since the BLT 1BR units are sweeeeet.
Me and my (will be) 6 year old. Why do you prefer BLT? I'm curious to read people's opinions. To me it seems inconvenient to not be in the tower, and maybe not as exciting for a child.. that is what I'm having a hard time with. Is the view worth not being in the building you want with the advantages that go along with it.Depends on how many people you will have in the room but I would most likely pick BLT. Love the Theme Park View.
Can you see monorails traveling to and from the parks in a lake view? That would somewhat make up for not having the tpv. Can you see anything of interest besides the lake? I don't know much about the contemporary. The only reason I chose it this time was bc we won't be utilizing a pool..and with 2 out of 3 days being MK days and since it will be cool weather, it makes more sense than Poly or GF...but I was getting excited about staying there! I cant deal with my son begging to go down the lava slide in December in Orlando lol..even with heated poolsA lot of people would argue Lake View is nicer than TPV for much of the day. While you definitely see Magic Kingdom, you also see a lot of Parking Lot.
..Or I just give in and purchase one more night to fit the minimum stay requirements for TPV at CR that week... I just have a real issue with paying for a night I won't use.With a six year old I would pick the MK view. If he can stay up late enough there is nothing like the fireworks from your balcony, with the music and narration piped in on your tv. But the Lake View is preferred by us because it's beautiful, and you can always watch the fireworks from the top floor lounge.
Mostly the lake, and the boats are in a Lake View. Also, pool view. But it's quieter.Can you see monorails traveling to and from the parks in a lake view?

Thanks for posting the photos! I've spoken to my travel agent and I've decided that I'll leave things the way they are for now (CR Lake View), and we are hoping that CR TPV will allow a 3 night stay to be booked again sometime in the next few months, and I'll switch rooms. The water is beautiful view.. We loved our mornings in the Poly tpv with looking at the lake and the castle, etc.. I think the main reason it is so much less appealing for this trip, is because we will have just spent 7 nights in a verandah room on the Fantasy...so we'll be seeing plenty of water.lol I'm going to try to chill out and just wait and hope that the dates open back up!!!I would do the Bay Lake view in the Tower.
You're right - it is more convenient to be in the tower (I've stayed in BLT once - a 2-bedroom w/ MK view-,and 3 or 4 times in CR Tower).
Walking out of your room's door onto the Concourse is an exciting view all in itself!

Plus, the Bay Lake views are lovely.

We will still be able to see the electrical water pageant from a tpv, right? I hope!I would do the Bay Lake view in the Tower.
