We are staying in a lake view studio this February, other than high floor what area is good to request on TP? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Have Garden View room for upcoming stay. Anyone know if there are rooms that face the water with a view of Electric Water Pageant? Also, where can I view fireworks from the resort without having a dinner reservation? We're ok with just standing on a balcony or at a window somewhere random.
My friend is graciously bringing me on a trip in March & I just found out we are staying in a theme park view room at the Contemporary! I am so excited- I've never stayed in a theme park view room and it's gonna be SO MAGICAL!! Am I right to be this excited, for those of you who have done it?
Yes you are right to be excited! We have done bay lake view but last year did theme park view and it was awesome! We watched the fireworks from the balcony a few nights and it was better than you can imagine. No crowds, no lines to leave and a nice adult beverageMy friend is graciously bringing me on a trip in March & I just found out we are staying in a theme park view room at the Contemporary!

Yes! Request north tower, even number, outer villa and you could get a partial lake, partial MK view. We always request this when we visit and have been extremely lucky.(we usually book a 1bd)the charts above might help you out.
I have booked a 2 bedroom villa at BLT through Disney (cash booking). The description on the website says that it has a 1 King Bed and 2 Queen Beds and 1 Queen-Size Sleeper Sofa and 1 Twin-Size Sleeper Chair. This would describe a dedicated 2 bedroom. I emailed guest services to confirm this (we would much prefer a dedicated vs a lock-off), and they told me that room requests were not guaranteed. I explained the situation again (that their website says 2 queens and 1 sleeper sofa, not 1 queen and 2 sleeper sofas) and that dedicated vs lock-off is not an option when booking cash. Again they told me that room requests are not guaranteed. I'm quite frustrated as I can't tell if they don't understand the question or if they are telling me that I could get a lock off. Does anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks! We arrive MCO at 6pm. Hoping to get there in time to watch from resort before hunting down dinner.My daughter and I watched from the bridge that connects BLT and the Contemporary. Wasn’t perfect but more than sufficed for us on a day the kids got too tired to see them at the park.
We have a one bedroom lake view villa at BLT in June. The only room requests online are ground floor, lower floor, higher floor, near elevator. What should I request? Thank you!

I think TeacherDL rented points. So she/he cannot call Member Services to make a request. The owner of the points would need to do that. If all you have is what is online, go for higher floor.We always call in our request to a CM since online is somewhat limited in what you can pick. Do you want a true lake view or do you want to try for a lake view with partial MK view for fireworks? We like lake view with a partial MK view for the fireworks so we request north tower, even number, high floor and have been lucky to get our request. If you want a straight lake view you might want to request high floor , odd number which should give you an inner villa lake view.

Last I heard the DVC resorts would be rolled out by summer 2018. I think the only DVC resort that gets service right now is OKW.Hello friends! I'm very excited to be returning to BLT next month! I can't find any information on Minnie Vans from BLT specifically. Can we walk to the Contemporary or are we not entitled to Minnie Van service?
So is the new Riviera Resort going to be only for DVC members?Last I heard the DVC resorts would be rolled out by summer 2018. I think the only DVC resort that gets service right now is OKW.
