We stayed in a one bedroom, lake view. A couple of things off the bat. I can't believe I was sleeping in a DVC resort at the Contemporary. Do you remember all those years when Disney consistently denied DVC was coming to the area? Even after some builder from NY leaked the design on their website. It was cool seeing it and now staying there. Also, who would of thought DVC would build a one bedroom that slept 5 and had 2 bathrooms? After tighting up the units after OKW/Vero/HH, it seemed more room was only acheivable w/ a 2 bedroom (and more points). My two kids are getting older and enjoyed having their own "beds".
Here's some random thoughts:
Don't miss the fireworks on the 16th floor. It's a nice perk. We actually left MK one night around 9:30 and went to the top of BLT to watch it. That's pretty neat!!
I booked a lake view to save points and wasn't dissapointed.
The showerhead in the small bathroom is a killer. The spray is like little needles.
The slide is fun and seems real fast. A real winner.
I didn't know you check in at the main hotel. Did I know that?
The parking is very easy. I'm not sure I would valet if it was still free. Again, the self park is easy.
Of course the walk from MK is great, but take the monrail back (only one stop).
Make sure you keep your dashboard piece of paper that says you're staying at BLT, the security back into the MK area is tight late at night. No big issue, just a note.
The walkway is so cool and handy.
Overall, BLT is awesome and it's going to be tough going back to BWV next July.

for our first stay in our new home @ BLT. So excited! Thanks for your review, and it was good to read the tip about the shower pressure.
I was a little worried about that! My 9 year old grandson will be happy to hear about your review of the slide! May I ask if you got a verbal " Welcome Home" when you checked in? For some reason I am soo looking forward to hearing that. I figure for the amount we paid for points, I should get to here it, LOL! Also-did you go to the Contempo Cafe at all? If so, how did you like it? Glad you had a great trip!
Well at least now we know for next time!
