We are DVC & will be able to book this month. If we are unable to get a magic kingdom view at BLT, which view would you want? Standard or lake? Can you see the electrical water pageant from the lake view? Obviously, our top choice is magic kingdom view, but nervous that it won't be available. TIA!
I've only stayed at BLT once, and we booked lake view. It was a great room! Yes, we were able to see the water pageant every night from our balcony. It was wonderful! I'd book lake view again over MK view. I just think it's relaxing to see the lake every morning.
If BLT is your home resort, you should have no issue getting a MK view at the 11 month out mark... I have never run into an issue...
It's not my home resort...SSR & AKL are my home resorts. On the 17th I'll be 7 months out.
I've stayed in both and prefer the lake view. I actually had both lake and park view my last trip. You have to realize you may be looking at parking lots leading up to the Magic Kingdom on that side.
Personally I'd book lake view and go to the top of the world to see the fireworks. :)
You can both see and hear the pageant. :)
Good luck. :mickey:

Not all lake views will allow you to see the Electrical Water Pageant from your room. I've had a lake view which was primarily of the pool with the lake beyond and the Water Pageant does not appear in that area.

everyone in our family agrees that mk view is fun for the first time. :mickey: fun to pick out all our favorite rides and areas of mk from our room.:coaster: but after that all you see is the glare of lights from the parking lot. that glare ruins the mk view.
we like the lake view, and once had a standard view (inside the curve) when we spent christmas there. :tree::santa2: it was the most beautiful because almost every window, including our own, had a christmas tree. we love that view.
Thank you everyone for your answers!!
Both of our stays at BLT were lake views, overlookimg the tennis court. We had a partial MK view. Personally, that was good enough for us.
We booked lakeview and requested an even numbered room on the north side. That gave us a view of MK from our balcony. We saw the fireworks twice from there and once from Top of the World Lounge. Both were amazing!
That's what we did. Great view of the lake and the fireworks.Quote:

This was nice the first night but it got really old. We had a baby with us and we were in bed after 10 one night and BAM! The pageant started and woke everyone up. Also the MK view is a lot of parking lot plus there are windows everywhere that have MK view from the hotel. Waiting for the elevators is a great view of MK and you can always go upstairs to the top of the world lounge.
Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I was unable to get ANY room at BLT, but your response makes me feel better about that! Thank you!!! :)
