On paper, yeah BLT should have been epic. In reality, for us, it was not. We've stayed there twice and probably won't do it again unless we really need to stay at a MK resort and the Poly and VGF are already fully booked. Our pros & cons, based on our two stays, would look like:
PRO:
Great views, we had a lake view one stay and a partial theme park view on another.
Walking to MK is pretty awesome.
Lobby smells awesome, but so do many other DVC lobbies.
CON:
Check-in experience on both visits was horrible
The rooms were heavily worn and not what we expected.
Sliding bathroom doors with no latch or lock!?!? When did I book a room in an RV, oh wait, at least RV bathroom doors have a latch and a lock.
Getting to every other Disney park is a PITA and can take a while. Folks like to complain about AKL transportation, something I've never had issue with, but BLT transportation is worse IMO unless you are going to MK.
No food option!! Why do I have to trek all the way to the Contemporary to eat or eat at a pool!?!?
Perhaps I went in with too high of expectations.
