Happy Birthday Kat4Disney!!!

Twokats....MK view at BLT is iffy depending on the time of the year as Granny stated. That said.....I wanted to add-on ONE night to my 4 night stay at BLT MK view for my daughter's wedding. I had made the original reservation at 11 months out. I added the ONE night (which was a Friday---April 4 to be exact) at about 3-4 months out. The CM told me I got the LAST room. Anything is possible!!!

WELCOME aje10! So glad to have you join us!

Thanks Eliza and Greg for sharing your photos! And like Twinkle, I, too keep my pages open to glance at the Lodge photos that have been posted.

And the most important item today is..... Kathy's birthday!
Happy Birthday Kathy!
Enjoy your day!

Congrats on the house sell!! Sorry I missed that, your pics got me excited and the rest of your message jut whooshed over my head

Good to hear you are progressing along well Being down and out is no fun, so Im glad you are able to drive and get out, thats worth a lot! As for the BLT MK view, like others say, that may be a tough one anytime of year. Tell your friend to be prepared for Lake view just in case.

Hey everyone! We have never used our points here and I saw in the Disney Files magazine, pictures of refurbished rooms with bambi aspects. Is this conpleted already or just starting? TIA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAT!

Welcome, DiSnEyLvR76! Glad you could stop by!! The refurb started a few months back, and as far as I know, are still ongoing. I believe they hope to be finished some time during the summer. If not, someone will certainly correct me.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Thanks Groupies for all the wishes for a Happy Birthday! You're the best!
Loved all the graphics and Julie-yours really made me laugh. My boy Scout totally would say that!

It's on to another year and it started very nicely yesterday. And DH has proudly been talking about the white cake with chocolate frosting that he prepared for me.

Eliza - congrats on selling your house!

DiSnEyLvR76 - I think the main elements of the refurb are done and they are booking up to 5 in the studios. It seems like they're finishing up with some of the things like changing towel bars but otherwise Bambi is in the rooms.

Kathy - Congrats on reaching another milestone and getting to drive again! I agree with Maria about MK view - I wouldn't say it's easy but it can happen.

Welcome to the groupies DiSnEyLvR76!!!!

Happy Friday Everybody!!

Kathy...very excited to hear of your continued progress. I know it's a marathon, not a sprint but it is wonderful to hear that you are slowly but surely recovering. Hooray!!

As for your question, I don't know but it seems to me that depending on the time of year the MK view at BLT can be tough to grab. Lake View is the easiest since it is more than half the rooms. Maybe someone else with better knowledge of MK view can chime in.

Thank you all for the information and the congrats.

I had therapy today and as usual they just about did me in, but I can tell it is helping. I just want it to happen now.

Kat4, I am glad you had a good day and did get cake!
