Hello Groupies,
For those who have stayed at BLT I was wondering if you had any tips or must do’s.....I know I can check out a BLT thread, and likely will, but thought I would ask here first.
Like so many of you, Dana and I really enjoy TOWL, and we try to venture there at least once each visit, so we are pretty excited about the idea of spending more time there!
Thanks!
Hey Corinne!
We too love TOTWL and its really nice being so close to just pop up there. We have stayed 3 times at BLT, and all 3 really enjoyed, so much so we have discussed buying points there. All 3 times we have had Lake view
Tip 1: We over the 1st 2 stays just knew we had to be on the 5th floor which is the same that leads to the walkway to CR. And we got them. This last stay, after mulling over the BLT thread with room number/views, I told Tammy I would like to be like The Jeffersons, and be moving on up
And so glad we did! We got the 14th floor with a birds eye view of WL, plus our location afforded us a view towards GF, maybe room # 8438? At least somewhere in the general area. The deal of being near the walkway is almost moot, as the elevators are so fast, you are on the 5th floor in no time.
Tip 2: Take advantage of MK being so close with a quick walk, plus it gets you through security quicker, rather than with the masses.
Tip 3: Take advantage of the close proximity of CR eats/lounges, as we as boat to WL and FW eats/lounges, and the Monorail to Poly and GF eats/lounges. One thing we enjoyed on arrival day last trip. Rather than hit the parks running, we did the pub crawl around Seven Seas, via the monorail. We started at Poly when Trader Sams was opening. Get there maybe 15 mins before opening and you can get a seat inside where all the antics take place. We ate appetizers at each place along the way to keep up with the drinks. Next stop, Mizners at GF, then The Wave lounge before heading to TOTWL. Sounds like we got toasted but the amount of time it takes, not really. Just fun, different thing to do, with out much hassle in the transportation dept.
Tip 4: Enjoy the serenity of BLT. Its a resort with not many amenities but that's not a bad thing. The amenities lie within the surrounding resorts, namely CR 1st and foremost. But BLT is not much of a draw for folks just wanting to check it out, so its mainly just the resort guests, which makes it nice and quiet.
