Thanks to all for your kind words regarding the pix, sunsets especially. I'd like to tell you I planned ahead for just the right time/day/conditions, but...........
We have decided to investigate an add-on at BLT. My DW would go full steam ahead, I am a little bit more aprehensive since the decor is not my favorite ( in fact, it may be my least favorite). But the view is amazing. I think the plan may be to get enough points for a MK view in a 1 bdr for 2-3 nights a year, and plan for Early December. I'd love to see the castle lights from my bed!!! I think 100 points will do fine.
A couple of more thoughts on some items I have seen mentioned frequently:
1) The infamous sliding bathroom doors. ---- The lack of a lock is not an issue for us, but I can see the point with small kids. Ours are 22 & 15 and only occasionally act younger!

The door gap is overhyped. Its smaller than the gap onthe bottom of most doors.
2) TOWL - I hope the attendance increases enough to keep it exclusive. It is a special "perk" that I think really makes BLT different. IMHO, I would not like to see it extended to all members staying at WDW (...I feel the flames growing already!)
3) Again, in our case, I think we would only stay there is we had an MK view. I never thought I would say that, given the huge point difference, but while the other views are excellent, especially from the upper floors, the MK view is super-special.
4) While the studios certainly do appear small (very small by some standards), I would try it if it were just my DW and me. Again, with 22 & 15 year-olds, any studio is more of an "adventure" than I care to have on vacation!!!!
