I'm about to do my room request with TP and I am definitely trying for ground floor now!
Need some advice.....
We're staying at Bay Lake Tower on our next trip. It's me, the wifey, and our daughters who will be almost 3 and 6.
The price of a 1 bedroom villa w/ a MK view, and a 2 bedroom villa with a standard view - are the exact same. Literally within about $10 of each other total.
So, what would you do? Get the 2 bedroom and extra space so the girls can have their own room, or do the 1 bedroom and have the MK view for fireworks?
Something to take into account is that my wife isn't exactly a "Disney person" the crowds and noise levels give her anxiety. She loves me dearly, so she bears with it, and overall has an ok time on these trips, but it's mostly for me and the kids. In other words, she wouldn't plan any of these trips, or try to go without me and the girls pushing for it. So, having that extra space for her to do yoga, or just take a break away from all the energy that is Disney World may also be a bonus for a 2 bedroom.
Any advice is welcome, especially from those of you w/ young kids that have stayed at BLT, or with spouses that aren't nearly as big of Disney fans as you are.
Thanks!
Is there any reason to be worried about your daughters having access to the balcony? There will be a balcony off the second bedroom. If you think you might have to worry, you might want to go with the one bedroom since they balcony they would have access to is the same one off your bedroom. Plus the access to the corridor is right next to the exit door from their bedroom. It might be overkill with a 3 and 6 yr old.Need some advice.....

Anyone staying at the Contemporary now hearing anything about Brunch being discontinued? It’s been removed as a booking option and isn’t available this week or out into December. I sure hope this is just a glitch!
The view is pretty much the same on that entire side of the building. A little more toward BLT would give you a closer look at BTL, I suppose, while the end would put you with a slightly better view of the Garden wing. but I can't really think of why you'd choose one over the other. We've stayed near both ends and felt the view was similar. Both also offer a solid view of the water parade at night.Do you guys have a favorite room in the bay lake - tower view? (not BLT DVC) or does it really matter? it seems like all the tower views are pretty good.
We've never stayed at BLT, but we stay at CR, and took the BLT DVC tour, so I've seen the rooms.Need some advice.....

Just curious for those of you who love staying at this resort, how do you handle the sink situation? I have read that they splash more and what do you do about your toiletries (toothbrushes, cosmetics, etc). It seems like the sink area doesn't have a lot of counter space to accommodate much. Thanks.

Yep we do that too!Ha!
We tend to use one sink as a "counter" and one sink as the real sink.
There is decent storage on the shelf underneath the sink, although we don't tend to use it in practice (don't like to organize/put stuff away each day).

It's been a while, but elevator, stairs, and perhaps ice. No mug refill, no public restroom.What amenities does the garden wing tower have? Is it just rooms, or do they have a mug refill, public restroom (for times when one bathroom isn't enough because family members are taking forever to get ready), ice, vending, etc? Thanks!

We stayed in a ground floor garden wing garden view room in December and loved it. We got lucky and faced the lake, so it was very quiet and peaceful in the evenings.
Well it depends on where you get your room in the WING. The pool has bathrooms , refill station etc. It could be convenient or not.What amenities does the garden wing tower have?

Yes, the sinks are odd.Just curious for those of you who love staying at this resort, how do you handle the sink situation?
