Thanks for all who have posted info on this thread. Very helpful! Going to BLT for first time in Sept. 2015. Is it better to request a bunch of specific rooms or to just say "even numbered room, North facing, etc."??
Stick with "even numbered, North tower." That will give the room assigner a lot more to work with. If you request 4 specific rooms and none are available, then they'll have no idea what you really wanted and will just put you anywhere.Thanks for all who have posted info on this thread.

What do you want? It's difficult to make a suggestion without any parameters. If you want a sideways view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks, then request an even numbered room in the North tower. If you want to avoid pool noise, any even numbered room or high floor should help. Quick access to the monorail? Fifth floor. What are your priorities?We're going to BLT in June. Since I'm asking someone to put in our magical express info to Disney with our DVC rental, can someone suggest what I could request for rooms, we have a lake view studio. Many thanks!
We are booked in a lakeview studio in October. We will be requesting an accessible room. I looked at the link for all the views and room numbers. I believe we will be in some very specific studios but wanted if there was anything I ought to request as long as we are at it.
Question for the expert BLT travelers. We booked a 2-bedroom theme park view. In truth, we liked the unabstructed lake views on the outer rim (even number, North) even better, but since we didn't want to end up in an odd-number inner rim room, the theme park view seemed like the safer bet. Here's the question. Since the theme park view is a more expensive reservation, if I request a room preference (not a specific room # but a block), will they consider it even if it is technically a lake view classified room? For example, could I say I would prefer a high floor, even # North facing room and they will consider it or will they automatically block me only in rooms already classified as theme park view? Thanks.

So just got back from our first stay at BLT. I was VERY disappointed in our assigned room. I requested an even numbered room, North side. Well, they gave me the North Side, but an Odd numbered room. I was on the inside of the C and absolutely hated it. I hated that you can see right into everyone's rooms and the location was so noisy, even though we were on the 9th floor. The pool cleaning alone would wake us up at 6 am and throughout the day there was just a whole bunch of noise. So disappointed. So for anyone hoping to put in a room request and get lucky with an outside, even numbered room, don't bank on it. Next time I will put in for a TPV and stay for a shorter amount of time of I have to.
It's a request, so you get what you get. We were on the 9th floor in the center tower and thought it was a great room. No noise from the pool and a great view of the sun reflecting on the lake.So just got back from our first stay at BLT. I was VERY disappointed in our assigned room.

Yes, I know it's a request. That's why I won't rely on it anymore and will request the TPV and pay the extra points just so I won't get stuck in that crappy view again. Just wanted to let people know that it's not as easy as it sounds to get these great views with Lake View points.
