According to this the garden view rooms could have bay lake views now. I'm probably thinking of "back then" when there were two wings, that was when we stayed in the wings.

Thanks for the confirmation

Hi everyone! I'm back from Spring Break.

The non-Deluxe GW GV rooms do have water views. In '07, we stayed in a beautiful GW GV room on the ground floor directly facing BL. We were steps away from the beach as you can see from this photo. There is a set of steps down to the beach to the right of the lamp post.



I took this a few steps from our patio facing left toward the marina (and now BLT):

I think someone asked about the Deluxe rooms (post-vacation confusion) Here is a link to some photos of a Deluxe room someone posted back in '07:

Wow, WDWKOOK, what a beautiful picture! I could definitely get used to that every night! How was Spring Break?

Any DVC member who has stayed at Bay Lake as well as any other Villas please give me your opinion on what you liked better and if Bay Lake is a place that one should stay at.

thanks

WDWKOOK,
That's a very nice picture so thanks for posting it.

This has probably already been asked, but by searching around I couldn't get any solid answers.

Are the brand of beds at the CR the Westin Heavenly Beds, or are those the ones that are only used at the Swan and Dolphin? We reallly want beds like those!

Does the Atrium Club have a viewing area for Wishes?


Thanks!

Does the Atrium Club have a viewing area for Wishes?


Thanks!

Yes - there are 3 balconies where you can watch Wishes from the Atrium Club (and usually the show music is piped into the balconies).

We'll be staying here for the first time in November. Thanks for all the great information!

I just wanted to confirm that yes the music is always piped into their balconies.

WDWKOOK,
That's a very nice picture so thanks for posting it.

You're both welcome IMHO, those GW GV rooms are a hidden gem and a great value when compared with other monorail resort room rates.

While we weren't at WDW (waaaaay too crowded this time of year), we had a great Spring Break and the weather was gorgeous. Now that we're back, I thought that I could focus on our upcoming WDW vacation, but the Fed. Gov't has different plans and has tentatively selected my DH for deployment to Iraq which would send me back to the WDW vacation drawing board

You're welcome. Phew - I was afraid I might have re-posted the link that had already been posted while I was on Spring Break.

The BLT Rooms and Views DVC thread has many great photos, but I don't know what page the 2-bedrooms are posted:

The Official BLT Photo thread might have some 2-bedroom photos, too:

Craig's site has many beautiful BLT (and CR) photos, but I don't think he has any of the 2-bedroom villa:

AllEars also has lots of BLT photos, but I didn't see any 2-bedrooms:
