Our Stay at Bay Lake Tower

Tuesday, May 11, 2010
I found this photo online (I didn't take the picture) - it's an excellent shot of Bay Lake Tower with a perfect view of where our room was. I have the room outlined with a white box:


As I mentioned before, we agreed to stay on a low floor because that room happened to be ready - not sure how high up we were originally supposed to be. Hey - it felt high when we were standing on the balcony, lol!

So, as you can clearly see, we had a perfect view of the parking lot. I asked for a Magic Kingdom view and spent the points for the view and yes, we could see the Magic Kingdom but I will never spend points for that view again.


All in all it was a cool looking place but it lacked the 'Disney' feel. I was surprised at how small the Top of the World Lounge is and how small the fireworks viewing area is as well. We had loose door handles in 2 rooms and the towel holder in the 2nd bedroom's bathroom was coming out of the wall. I cannot believe how 'beat up' the room was considering it's not even a year old yet :(

I picked BLT as our home resort because it is the newest DVC, has low yearly maintenance fees, we got a deal on price per point when we bought and the location; being on the monorail line is a plus. I don't regret the decision at all but I know we are looking forward to staying at other DVC resorts in the future.

I have to agree .. although I've only seen the outside .. it doesnt have that same look as a Disney resort. I love the themes other resorts offer and some day would like to venture away from the values and stay somewhere nicer .. but you know me and my 12 day visits ! lol But I know I would want the resort to reflect Disney inside and out .. not sure I'd be happy otherwise. But at least you guys have the option to stay at other places .. other places I might only dream about staying.
Nice job on the reviews !
