Please report your BLT 7-month booking experiences

[podsnel]

I was able to book Nov 8-10 in a 1bdrm LV between 6 and 7 mos out. Really looking forward to it, along with everyone else!

Our home resort is BCV. We decided on a whim to try to get a few nites at BLT on our upcoming October trip. This was past the 7 month window, but got two nites in a lake view studio. YEAH!

I called to book Feb 13-17th and they had a 2BR Bay view available. I waited on my sister in law to make a decision if they were going with us and then called back the following day. Gone. Night of 14th not available. So I booked 13 at BLT, 14th at AKL, 15-17 at BLT. I waitlisted the night of the 14th and hope it comes through because it will be a pain in the behind to move.

I feel your pain (in the.......).

I was able to book January 23-30 Studio Bay Lake View on the day the 7-month window came up. We are wait-listed for a MK view but I don't really expect that to come through.

 

[IWantMickey]

Those are our exact dates but we couldn't swing an MK view for a Studio...got Bay Lake view. Have fun and see you at Top of the World!

I'm sure we'll be there! Just look for two women who are rolling their eyes at their DHs (both retired firefighters) as they act like little boys. I'll be one of the women!

I was able to book MK view at BLT for Feb 21 thru 26th in a Studio....Guest Services told me that was the first 5 day window available in Feb. We will be going to AK Concierge this October 11 for 5 days ...and i booked that out at 11 month window. Seems like it will be tough to get what i want for dates in the future for BLT ...and i have a home contract there as well as AK!!!

Congratulations...I think you are the first poster to snag an MK Studio for a block of nights. Then again, you had an advantage of a few days over the rest of us non-owners who have to wait until 7 months exactly.

We cancelled our AKV Kidani studio savannah view for 10/21-10/26 to get the chance to stay in BLT. We own at AKV so we figured we could stay there another time and that staying at BLT another time may not be as easy. We called the day they opened it up for non owners. We were able to get a LV studio for the length of our stay. We WL for a MK view, but I don't expect it to come through. It really doesn't matter because we will be staying at BLT and will be at WDW.

Called right at 7 months 9:00am...SSR pts. for March 21 - 27. 1 bedroom LV

At 7 months out, I waitlisted for standard view or lake view dedicated 2 bedroom for January 6-11. This covers the Marathon weekend. Within a month, I had the lake view. About a week ago, I decided that I should probably try to save some points, so I am presently on a waitlist for the standard view. I can only stay on the waitlist until the end of October because that's my banking deadline. Standard view would save me 19 points to bank, if I get it, fine, otherwise, we are thrilled to be at BLT.

Back on 7/29/09 I was able to book a Bay Lake view studio for Feb 6-13, 2010.

I was surprised it was available!

 

[londonderrydisneyfan]

I booked a 1 BR value room for Feb 21-24 at 6 1/2 months out.

 

[CarolMN]

I called for 11/28/09 - 12/4/09 the first dy the 7 month window opened (back on 4/28/09). I was able to get a Lake View 1 bedroom.

Waitlisted for a Standard View 1 Bedroom. Waitlist came through last week sometime. Not sure if I am happy or sad about that, though, LOL. Lake views look superb!

I didn't try for a MK view - couldn't bring myself to pay the premium, especially since the castle comes with a good view of the parking lots!

 

[DVCAmy]

We booked BLT at the 7 month mark exactly for the week before Thanksgiving. All room sizes and views were available and several in each category when we booked. I was looking at a 2BR, a 1 BR and a studio and it was easy to get them.

 

[DISNEY FIX]

My 7 mo. window started on 8-23-09 and was able to book 3 days of BLT LV we waitlisted for a MK View. We already have BCV booked for the 7 days following our BLT trial.

 

[AB6876]

I called 7 months to the day at 8:30 AM and got a LV studio for Thanksgiving week....The standard view and MK view were not available at the time.
Cannot wait to go..

 

[keishashadow]

@ 7 month mark i waitlisted BLT standard studio for 5 nights beginning 12/13

not for me, for my DS/DIL (covered all Xmas/BD presents for the year)

anyway, it came thru mid/end of June...approx 6 month mark

to all who r waiting

 

[TwoGirlsandDisney]

At my 7 months out, I was able to book a 2 bed room lake view for President' week in Feb. I am waitlisted for a MK view, but with all the complaints about the lower floors maybe I should just keep the lake view.

 

[DISNEY FIX]

I am waitlisted for a MK view, but with all the complaints about the lower floors maybe I should just keep the lake view.

We were worried as well but......we are not going to let that be a source of dissapointment. The dissapointment would come from not giving the MK view a shot and letting us decide for ourselves if it (could be) as bad as some people say.
Enjoy your vacation.
