Ummmmmmmm. the BLT? ........Check out the Pictures.

its not to my tast, i particulary dislike the dining chairs. but im sure some will love it and pay a fortune to stay there!!

I think they'll pay a fortune to stay there because of it's proximity to the Magic Kingdom and because it's the only DVC on the Monorail loop... not because of the decor.

I could be wrong! Maybe (just maybe) there's some nut out there that is willing to pay outlandishly exaggerated fees for ugly furniture.

Holy 1968 Batman. The only thing missing is the avocado green appliances in the kitchen. I agree with the idea of having contemporary units in the CR, but the CR was "contemporary" when it was built in 1972 (or whatever) but now it's dated. Designing these rooms had to be a real challenge. Do they go with something that is truly contemporary or do they match the current hotel? It looks like they chose the latter ... and they relocated the avocado green to the chair backs ....

I am not of the the folks going crazy for BLT, but I like the room decor.

Kind of cool IMHO

I like the decor much better than any of the other properties. It's all a matter of taste, I guess.

I am leaning towards, eehh, take it or leave it. The location is the biggest draw for me.

Actually, the point charts are a lot more reasonable that I thought they'd be. For someone renting points -- they could get a value studio for as little as $120/night (based on $10 per point -- however, I think to guarantee something at the 11 mo window it will probably be at least $12-$15). Not bad at all when comparing it to the current cost to stay @ CR.

Those rooms are so . . . 2001 Space Odyssey. I do love the artwork, and the kitchen and eating table appeal to me as well. The idea of watching MK fireworks from my balcony is very dreamy and the thought of a monorail resort is exciting. But I HATE the white weaving weirdo headboard on the one bed! And the color scheme is a bit of a stomach turner for me. And I don't know what they made the sliding wall over the hot tub out of, but it looks like cheap plastic from the pictures. Eh!

We will try to stay here at some point because DD8 declares this is her favorite resort, but if I were going to add points in DVC, I think I would lean towards the new treehouse villas.

Seeing the model rooms of BLT makes me glad I bought into AKV. BLT just doesnt have the disney feel to me. I dont like the trendy look at all. It might look ok now, but 5 or 10 years from now, eh. Also, beside the higher cost of buying into BLT, your points dont go very far at all! Way too many points per night compared to other resorts.

Wow, it looks even smaller in video...anyone know the sq ft. vs the other resorts?

 

[disneyholic family]

it looks tiny....and i really don't like the decor at all...

but given that it has location, location, location, probably none of the rest matters...

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Wow, it looks positively cramped! Wonder if that's an artifact of the videography?


I think I found its twin in Japan...looks a little like it. Maybe the BLT is based on the Japanese Capsule hotels....

I think this is a studio...

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

It does look very small. I also wonder if they are the same sq ft as the other villas. The decor ho hum not for me. Now I am not so excited about them. Not my style at all. Maybe I will try for resale at BWV or BCV.

Kevin got it just right today when he said in the pictures it looks like furniture out of a box...like Ikea, I couldn't put my finger on it when I first saw the pictures. I may just have to wander over to SSR to check out the model when I'm there because now I'm curious to see it in person.
