I just love this post and question because it seems like I hear more negative than positive about BLT and we just love it! We've stayed at a number of DVC resorts and most often we stay at BWV because we love the view of the water, the energy, proximity to the two parks, etc. But, we also like to make each vacation interesting by doing different activities and staying at various resorts (i.e. Dining with an Imagineer, Wild Africa Trek, Painting with a View, etc.) It is only our 14 year-old son, my husband and me, so we are pretty flexible and go-with-the-flow people. I was nervous about our split stay at BWV and BLT in August but WHOA, we loved BLT. To save on points we requested a studio standard view and loved our first floor location with a view of the courts, near the pools. Not ideal to some, I loved walking out on our nice-sized patio to people watch in the morning, shaded by huge palm trees and enjoy a little coffee. While we liked the BLT pool, we REALLY liked the pools at the Contemporary (and are definitely renting a cabana there next time)! There were plenty of chairs, a fun slide, and a beautiful, ample beach with gorgeous sand. The beach portion also had comfortable outdoor loveseat couches you could sit (and really, I could have sat in all day)! Behind the 'family-type' pool is a very pretty pool that was a little more low-key near the water. I swear it looked like something out of a commercial! I stood near the water just to take everything in. It made me feel so lucky to be there. Another thing we loved was the short, but peaceful, boat ride to Wilderness Lodge and Geyser Point. We love sitting outside at Geyser Point to have lunch and enjoy the outdoor ambiance that location offers. Very calm, and less bustle than being in the heart of the action. Others have mentioned the close proximity to MK and the other two resorts and the convenience of going to the Contemporary for lunch. Of course, I find the TOWL very special -- we are by no means 'VIP' type people but really feel like VIPs when we are there. I'll also throw in that I loved walking to the Contemporary in the morning to grab coffee/latte in the lobby at Joffrey's. They swirl a Mickey right on top of your coffee! I can't say my heart is tied to any one resort -- I like each of the ones we stay at for different reasons -- but BLT is close to the top. It's different. Some say it is less "Disney" to them, but it felt luxurious and comfortable at the same time. I wish you a wonderful anniversary and magical stay!
