Bay Lake Tower Room Requests??

[adamcav]

Hello All,
We're staying at BLT in August and we have reserved a 1BR Villa Bay View.

My question: Are there any requests I should make regarding room location?

Of course I've read that everyone should request the highest floor possible, and we will do that as well. But other than height, what type of request can I make for a great view?

I think the general consensus for us is we are more interested in having a great (unobstructed) view of Bay Lake rather than being able to see MK or the fireworks. We will probably never been at the resort during fireworks time anyway.

I know that no requests are guaranteed, but as always it doesn't hurt to ask.
Thanks!

I believe that since you are in a Bay Lake view room you aren't going to have the option of seeing the Magic Kingdom.

I've read some trip reports that suggest that certain room numbers offer a glimpse of both the Bay and the Park.

Since the resort is in a semi-circle shape I was wondering which location on that arc offers the best view of the lake. Would it be in the center of the arc or the ends?

You will want to be toward the center of the arc. If you are on the ends your view will be the other side of the building.

Thats what I was thinking, but its always best to confirm with someone in-the-know.

Do you know if there is a best way to ask for this (ie. certain room numbers? odd? even? etc) or should I simply ask for a room on a high floor in the "Center of the Building's Arc"?

I would go with that.

Thanks Yoda!
I'm going to have that note added to my reservation asap!

Thanks for the tip from the both of you. I have never stayed there but am planning a trip soon. So now I know what to request.

Yup. Because yeah you wind up with this on the ends:

Boo.
