Top of the World question

Hi, I just rented points from an owner at BLT for October. I am seeing a bit of conflicting info online...I read that non-DVC members (i.e. renters) can go to the top of BLT until 4 p.m. each day, just to see the view. Is that correct? Or would we only be able to go up if we are actually owners? Thanks!

I haven’t been up there recently, but my understanding is that the gatekeeper is now at the door to the lounge, so anyone can go up to that floor and onto the observation deck without entering the lounge. I could be wrong. Hopefully bumping this up to the top of this forum will get you some recent experience reports.

I don’t know what the rules are for going to the observation deck prior to opening of the lounge.

Once it is open, they weren’t letting anyone get past the podium, even for just the deck, unless they were DVC Y when I last went.

It is very possible the lock the elevator for the 16th floor until the lounge opens.
