Joining you in the THIS MONTH dance.






Really, my only concern is that I've heard the studios are really small! We shall see!
Joining you in the THIS MONTH dance.

Yay, this month! Your parade pictures are great. Sounds like BLT may end up being your family's favorite place to stay.
The studio IS really small. I was so surprised. Seriously, I think it is smaller than a value resort room. In fact, I know it has to be smaller than a value room. There is literally 1 ft of space between the bed and the pull-out. There isn't even enough room for a real night stand - its some tiny ikea-esque thing. Then the pull-out is literally right up against the slider. That room maximum capacity is 2. A family of 4, even with small kids, would be so cramped. If it wasn't for the fabulous location no one would EVER book a studio there. It's ridiculously small. Jen and I did fine, but of course we spent little time in the room and I tried to fold up the pull out ever day (except the day we overslept and needed to get to our segway tour).
That being said - you and your daughter will have a great time there because the location is fab and its your and your daughter. I think if you keep the room straightened up it will really help and you can put all your empty luggage by the front door because there is a lot of dark and wasted space there.
And watch those bathroom floors - they are dangerously slippery.![]()

I've read numerous posts that the studio is TINY! You certainly reiterate that! I think DD might end up sleeping with me so that will end up freeing up room! I am interested to see the setup with the pull out actually out though!I'm really happy to be staying in a 1 bedroom in a few weeks! I know DH wouldn't want to be cramped!
We'll definitely be careful of the bathroom floor!![]()
YAY!! You're going to Disney this month!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!
I will tell you that the pull out was very comfortable. It was as good as a bed, probably because it was so new. Jen offered me the bed the first night under the premise that I was "old" and might need it, but I declined. That's how I started the whole "elder" thing for our trip! Sheesh!

We did the BLT tour on our last day at Disney, so we got a chance to see those studios and yes, I agree, they are SMALL. I think the square footage is the same as a normal Studio; however, due to the crazy layout they have of it, it makes it seem smaller. Unlike all the other Studios there is a "hallway" with the bathroom sink on one side and the kitchen on the other, which makes a big wall in the bedroom, rather than having it more open and just the one wall of the bathroom area.
They are switching around the Studios because people do NOT like the kitchen sink/bathroom sink combo (I'm one of them! Ew!). I think they have learned their lesson. Hopefully any new properties will not have that crazy orientation and they just leave the Studio kitchen against the normal wall instead of building a wall in the middle of the room. I think they did it so the kitchentte would be bigger, but really - do we need that much space in a Studio kitchen that doesn't have a stove????
I did find out that the handicapped accessible rooms have the kitchenette in the more normal layout, it also has a separated tub and shower instead of the 2 in 1. I wonder if the big 'ol wall is there since the kitchenette isn't in the middle of the Studio.
I've heard about those floors! I'm going to coat the thing in towels when H needs to bathe. Freaks me out!!
LOVE that cake!!!!! It is gorgeous and I would love a piece right now!!!
I think that I will have Duff from Ace of Cakes make one for me and deliver it to my house
