Just got back.


We were in Bay Lake Tower - Standard View - Studio - 7232. Here are pictures from the Balcony.

We were 3 floors up 7532-that is classified as lake view
Best thing was we were the closest room to sky bridge (and elevator on 5th floor) which was very handy with a stroller

So could you tell us why you switched rooms? Did you get into 7418 and unhappy and then get switched? Did you like 7518?

We just returned from a 10 night stay in 7518, a Theme Park view studio. We had been originally assigned 7418 which was also labeled as a theme park view. I noticed that the map on page one lists 7418 as standard view.

Here our view photos for 7518:

Zoomed view -

View to the right -

Sorry we don't have a view to the right which of the skybridge and CR. We could not really see the Seven Seas Lagoon and only bits and pieces of the Poly and Grand Floridian under the monorail. But it was nice that we did not have to take an elevator to get to CR and the monorail.

Where can you get a copy of the room map?

Just spent a week in villa 8605. Did not see it listed on the first page, so I thought I would share my thoughts on the villa. It is on the 16th floor, last villa on the left hand side, lake view. It is a dedicated 2 bedroom, lake view. You had to have special access on your magic bands to access the 16th floor, and can only access the villa from the left hand set of elevators. With the TOTWL in the center of the 16th floor, using the other set of elevators does you no good (we learned this the hard way), as the TOTWL doors are locked during the day.

The view was great - one of the best ones we have ever had at BLT, and we have stayed there multiple times. We had a perfect view of the pool, lake, EPCOT, EPCOT fireworks, and even parts of DHS. The way the villa was positioned on the end of the building, you did not look directly into other villas. You could also watch (and hear) the water parade each night.

The only downside of this villa was the wi-fi. Our first two days, we had NO wi-fi. After complaining, they added a router or something and we had very slow internet the rest of the week.

Interesting about the doors being locked at TOTWL. There has been some discussion that you could still get to the viewing area during the day. True or false? I don't know how you could get up to that floor without the CM and without having special access (as you did since you were on that floor). Sounds like a great view! I think the highest we've been is 8th floor...high enough for me.

When we checked, the direct to room didn't work for us, we were told our room would be an XX18 room on the 4th floor. We prefer higher floors so I asked if a room was available on a higher floor. The only other one available for all of our 10 night stay was 7518. We decided to got with 7518 because it was on the same floor as the skywalk--no elevators would be needed to go to CR. We never even entered 7418.

7518 was pretty good, except we did not have any view of 7 Seas Lagoon and could only see GF, and the Poly under the monorail, so we really saw very little of them. The reason I would prefer a higher floor is that people walking in the parking lot or going to and from MK, often yell back and forth at each other and when your balcony door is open on the lower floors you hear all of that noise, plus the better view of the MK area. It is an ideal location if you really want to be on the same floor as the skyway to the Contemporary so you do not have to take an elevator to the 5 floor.

I have concerns.....when I first booked our trip in Jan. I booked a BLT lake view 2bedroom villa designated. I requested outside the "C" and high up in that order.
Unfortunately it seems most 2 bedroom designated villas are on the inside C or at the ends.... No bridge or contemp. View ?
Upon online checkin I noticed high floor was already checked and the box was locked not allowing changes and there was no "outside the c" choice, so I checked the box for " close to bridge/walkway". Now that is locked.....I just realized most rooms that are twobedroom designated villa are on the inside "c"... And it automatically put the bridge request before the high up request?

Did I just screw up my request? Even if I call will that supersede the online request?

No one knows for sure, but generally the thought is that called in requests take precedence over the online check in. Of course it seems like the requests are ignored (or realistically just can't be met) half the times anyway!

Call MS and ask them to input your requests again. If you give them requests don't use the request option on the check in. When a request isn't one of the standard ones on the system MS has to put them in a note field which is why you wouldn't have seen the one requesting outer C. By the way, the best way to request that is to ask for an even numbered room.

Curious...as a new BLT owner, and hoping to book std rooms only (1 or 2 bds), are std rooms noisy?!!

Perhaps booking lake view instead should be on my to do list....

not really - they are lower - 1 thru 5 floors - with some you can get a left view of the MK - so the fireworks can be noisy.

Hi All:

I need help selecting our two standard view rooms at BLT. We are a family of four with young kids (1year and 4 years) and along with my parents. We have reserved a standard deluxe studio for us and one for them.

What two rooms would you suggest we go for? Ideally we would like to be next to each other. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks

There are only four options for you if you want two standard view studios next to each other. Keep in mind that non of them connect.

You're looking at the ground floor on the outside of the south tower, or floors 3 to 5 on the outside of the north tower.

Hi All- I finally got around to updating the first post with the new photo links since the last update!

I hope you have all enjoyed BLT! We did defect over to the Poly in May (a studio!) and I can't wait to get back to BLT (1 BR!). We had a lake view at the Poly, but frankly the noise from the horns from the boats was awful especially after midnight!

Glad we own at BLT, it remains my favorite! Can't wait to get back there in September!

I just wanted to say that we stayed in room 7514 and what great views for a standard room! We were originally on the first floor but asked to move because our A/C being very loud and clunking when it would turn on or off. Our toddler and 6 month old could not sleep at all through that. It's not a great photo since it was so dark but this is what the fireworks looked like from our balcony. I saw that there are other photos of the views but none of the fireworks! Too bad we didn't get to see them that often since everyone was so worn out with two little ones and we slept right through the noise!

We have a standard view studio booked for the beginning of December. Dh kind of likes the idea of rolling the dice on the view and to not make any requests. We are VERY easy to please for the most part (except for that time we got stuck on the hiney end of Kidani). We've had a MK view at BLT before. So maybe something different? Any suggestions? Are there studios that are slightly larger than others depending on location?

 

[spiceycat]

I have never had a larger studio - so don't think so.
