BLT 2 bedroom lock off vs normal 2 bedroom

[shaylih]

We're planning a trip with our neighbors who have never been to Disney. I'm wondering what the main differences between a regular 2 bedroom and a 2 bedroom lock off would be. Will we have the same number of bathrooms? What do we lose by getting a lock off? There will be 5 people, my husband and I. My neighbor and her 2 children. I'm thinking my husband and I will take the 1 bedroom and sleep in the king. The neighbor and her daugher can sleep in the queen in the studio, and the son can sleep in the memory foam couch in the studio. I'm leaning towards the lock off because it would be nice to be able to have a little privacy.

A lock off two-bedroom villa is essentially a one-bedroom villa and a studio. It will have an adjoining door that connects the two parts, and they each have a doorway to the hallway. The studio portion will have a queen bed and a fold-out sofa bed, as well as a kitchenette (microwave, mini-frig, sink). The bathroom vanity is in the same space as the kitchenette. The one-bedroom portion has the full kitchen, as well as two bathrooms.

A dedicated two-bedroom villa has only one doorway to the hallway. The second bedroom (which is comparable to the studio space in a lock off) does not have the kitchenette or sofa; instead, there are two queen beds. In addition, the bathroom vanity is actually in the bathroom. Like the lock off villa, a dedicated two-bedroom villa has three bathrooms at BLT.

Hope this helps!

Are dedicated vs. lock-offs by request or guaranteed booking? I don't see a point category difference to them.

They are a booking category, but not listed seperately on the point charts. If you have a dedicated, the confirmation will indicate that as part of the room type.

I'm so glad I read this. We have a dedicated 2BR for October. I didn't realize the dedicated have to beds inte 2nd bedroom. Does anyone knowof any photos out there of the dedicated?

Here's a link to a YouTube video of a dedicated 2BR on the inside of the crescent. The outside 2BR's have a slight different configuration in the kitchen as the island has room for two stool for dining. The rooms on the outside of the crescent (facing CR, the monorail and MK) are slightly larger rooms. The laundry rooms are different too. The one in the video shows a walk-in room where the outside crescents have a closet with side by side washer and dryer.

But you do need to show a CM in the lobby your KTTW showing you are a DVC member or guest staying at BLT (on points) and then the CM will unlock the elevator for you to go up to the 16th floor. Another comment was regarding the countertops, they are granite not marble.

Is the dedicated 2 bedroom and the 2 bed lockoff the same price?

BWV and Polynesian haven't got any dedicated two bedroom villas. BWV only has lockoffs and Polynesian only has Bungalows and they are way more than normal two bedroom villas.

Also, I have heard that if you request an even number that the rooms are slightly larger. I stayed in a 2 bedroom at BLT in Nov in an even number and we also had 2 stools at the kitchen island which gave extra seating. Everyone says an even number on the north side is the request to make but I was in an even number on the south side and honestly it was spectacular. Full view of the CR and the monorail going through it. Epcot fireworks were viewable every night from all rooms. My kids and I can’t wait to go back.
