True, However I have never stayed at those and dont know first had what the bus situation is like. I do know that at the Contemporary that has 950+ rooms, it can be a bit of on issue with multiple bus waits. And at the Contemporary you have walking and the Monorail as alternate transportation options. With only Busses
I dont know about most people, but when we stay at BLT we tend to avoid the busses. The Contemporary with BLT is around 950 rooms. The Bus situation to AK or HS can be a mad house first thing in the morning. We generally just visit MK or take the Monorail to Epcot. Occasionally we will take a bus to AK. but generally l
You are correct in that there is only 1 stop. or its 950 some odd rooms. However the contemporary has other means of transport as well such as the Monorail, and the walking path . It can be a mad house getting a bus to AK or DS, especially first thing in the morning. That is why we almost never use a bus when staying a
Never used Magical Express, but see why people loved it. Resort Package Delivery and Early Entry at DLR are what I miss.
Ok I just skimmed these posts and did not see anyone asking about transportation. 900+ rooms. Thats a lot of folks to move around. How many bus stops will there be? If just one, that will cause issues. Imagine everyone trying to hop a bus to Epcot or HS for rope drop? Already at the larger DVC properties it can get pre
I was not implying that it would, sorry if I gave that impression The size of the resort will make transportation interesting at the least. More busses and more boats for sure. I dont think it will impact BLT directly. just everything over all.
It really shows how much LSL changes the shoreline and skyline. Not for the better. I really wonder how transportation will be impacted with 900+ rooms coming on line. When we stay at BLT, we generally just go to MK. No Disney transportation required. We do take the Monorail over to the other resorts, but not a peak ti
We Love BLT! Great Points Chart, Great Location, Fantastic Refurb, What is not to love. Our next trip is in October for MNSSHP. Doing a split stay with BWV. MK at BLT and Epcot/HS at BWV. Usually go with our grandkids to BLT in a 2 bedroom, this is our first trip solo in a 1 BR. Only thing we dont like about the refurb
I think I would find Dec. better than June, which is mine. I am always confused as to which UY i'm in! Is it June 25 even thought it is now 2026?
We started adding on when I was getting ready to retire. We always wanted more trips, but work, life, kids, expenses all seemed to get in the way. While I was still working, we started our quest for more points. We now have 1008, split among both coasts. We went by the old adage, buy where you want to stay. SO we ended
Kinda late to this party! We have 5 home resorts! 3 at WDW and 2 at DLR. Started with BWV and stayed that way until several years ago when we started adding on. We were getting ready to retire and wanted more points for longer stays. We also wanted a bit of variety . We now do 3 way split stays at WDW (BWV, BLT, and AK
We bought VDH when it was first offered. We live on the west coast, which makes DLR an easy flight, unlike the 6 hour journey to Orlando. We could not afford VGC when it came on sale and always was bummed about that. We did use our points back in the early 2006 to book a stay at the hotel side of the Grand Californian.
October and December are Great months to visit Florida. Not too hot not too humid. In the old days we would go the first. 2 weeks in December. It was great! Parks were not crowded. Just a lot of Brazilian tour groups. Now there is no real off season. People found out that the winter weather was great. And after Covid,
Agreed! I did not like BLT when we first went in. We had bought sight unseen, just going on location. Very underwhelming. Not much of a lobby. Themeing was nonexistent. We were used to the Boardwalk and OKW. What a difference. All that went a way when we entered the room. We had a 2 bedroom since we had our 2 grandkids
About the only DDR we ever make is at the Sci-Fi. Always a must do. We also do the Rainforest Cafe if the grandkids are in tow. Otherwise it is usually eat in the room or do QS at the resort.
We almost never have an issue booking a 1 or 2br villa at either BWV or BLT at the 11 month window. Studios are another issue, I think due to commercial renters. When we could not get BWV, our default fall back is OKW. It is very laid back and relaxing. Sure, you have to bus everywhere, but that was not an issue. Have
I think we have done our Bucket List. We stayed at a Grand Villa at Jambo House. That was really great! So So So much room. 3 balconies and a pool table! We dont have any desire for Club Level, May look into a Grand Villa at Kindani or BWV. We stayed the month of December at OKW around 20 years ago, that would be fun t
So sorta agree here. We were disappointed when walking into BLT for the first time. The theming was underwhelming. Lobby is small. However that quickly faded. The clubhouse is among the best in DVC. The grandkids really loved it. CMs are top notch and so very cheerful and helpful. We stay in 2 br villas and having 3 ba
