Great thread! Can I just check a couple of things as it's our first visit!
We have a 2 bed dedicated Lake View booked for September.
As we are renting points, does the DVC member have to make any room requests or can we do that directly?
If we want to try for the coveted MK views from a LV room, are these the two bed options;
8412
8402
8212
8202
8112
8102
8002
Would it be rude to ask for any of those rooms specifically? Of course I understand it's just a request and in no way guaranteed...but worth a try?
Thank you!
What do you want to see from you balcony?Since standard view rooms are on floors 1-5 is there any room request that I should note on my reservation?
No preference, aren't all the std views decent?What do you want to see from you balcony?
I'm sorry; I guess I don't understand your question. Room requests are typically a personal preference. If you have no preferences, then we can't really suggest a room request.No preference, aren't all the std views decent?
I wouldn't mind getting a Magic Kingdom view or Monorail view. Would I request a certain room # range ?I'm sorry; I guess I don't understand your question. Room requests are typically a personal preference. If you have no preferences, then we can't really suggest a room request.
Have you reviewed the photos from the first post for your room type? Some folks find the inside rooms to be more private on the ground level. Others want a chance at a Magic Kingdom view. Some people want to watch the monorail go past, and others may want to see the lake. It's a small resort, so you're never far from an elevator. Unless you're spending a lot of time at Epcot or the other MK resorts, being on the level with the walkway isn't really necessary.
What are your specific preferences, and we can advise you on how to form a request to get a better chance at those.
To have a chance of seeing the MK or Monorail, you would need to be in an Even Numbered room. There are two elevators in BLT: the North Elevator is towards the MK, while the South Elevator is towards the Contemporary.I wouldn't mind getting a Magic Kingdom view or Monorail view.

Thanks, so I will request an "Even Numbered" room with MS along with elevator locationTo have a chance of seeing the MK or Monorail, you would need to be in an Even Numbered room.

I'd recommend "even number, center section."Thanks, so I will request an "Even Numbered" room with MS along with elevator location

My family and I have rented 3 BLT Lake view studios coming up in September and of course, we all want our rooms close together (I know there are no connecting studios). Other than stating that we want our rooms close together or beside each other, what else would everyone recommend to increase our chances of our rooms being close together? Anyone else have experience with this type of request at BLT? My only other experience with multiple rooms was at CBR and POP. Both times we had 2 connecting rooms and had called up and had our reservations linked.
TIA!
That's going to be a difficult request. Because of the layout at BLT, there aren't very many studios close to each other. On each floor, there are four lake-view studios in the north section and four lake-view studios in the south section along with two lake-view studios in the center section on each floor (with the exception of standard-view on the lower floors). I'm not sure how they attempt to coordinate check-out days; if the floor figures into their method, so getting three studios checking out on the same floor on the same day seems unlikely, let alone three studios in the same wing.My family and I have rented 3 BLT Lake view studios coming up in September and of course, we all want our rooms close together (I know there are no connecting studios).

This was my concern when I saw the layout of the different room types. It's not a huge deal but if at least 2 of the rooms were close together then I would be happyThat's going to be a difficult request.
