    Renting a DVC studio room for $800/night is insanity. Even if it has a view of MK, it's a small room with basic amenities. I'd rather spend less and stay longer at Coronado Springs.

    $800 for that tiny and outdated room with a parking lot view (Magic Kingdom in the distance) is not worth it IMO. It looks like a dated Hyatt or Marriott property that would cost $200/night.

    Thoughts on having too many coffee mugs. We all do. But we display our favorites on a "mug tree" and my parents added hooks along the underside of the cabinets (forward of where your magnetic lights are, which would display them even nicer) and hung the mugs to display the best side. A splash of color and functionality are a good/ useful look in a kitchen. Brings comfort and relaxed vibes.

    We are DVC, bought into BLT in September 2009. Just for comparison your $800 room would have cost us $197.34 for the night using only the current years’ member fees per point (assuming it cost 26 points). You should really look into renting points to stay DVC in the future, it could save a couple hundred per night. We don’t love the studios, too small for a week stay. I am really looking forward to what they do in the refurb.

    Why didn’t you use a DVC rental company like DVC rental store? I booked 3 nights at Bay Lake for Fall Break (3rd week of October) this year and it came out to $420/night. If I had gotten a theme park view, it would have been about $500/night. I just don’t understand why you would pay more money when I’m sure you all know those DVC rental companies exist and you could get it cheaper through them.

It’s the only hotel with 1 bd with 2 full bathrooms, so it worked well for us and our young adult kids. The sleep sofa and sleeper chair were the only “dated” things that we would have liked to see updated.

Nice dining options on the Monorail loop and walking into MK are huge perks for this resort, but it would need major updates for us to ever choose Contemporary again.

    Stay in that hotel that Taylor stayed in a couple years back? Maybe they did a refurb on that place 😮

    The Baylake tower rooms do not look outdated. I like them. Sometimes people do you like carpet in the room.
    Disagree that they’re outdated.

    I love using the DVC companies that rent you points and get into DVC rooms a lot cheaper.
