As a fellow DVC a member, these videos are dangerous. As in its making me want to buy more DVC points. These rooms are amazing! Such awesome room tours.
This was a great tour. Thanks. I’ve stayed in a 1-bedroom villa at Bay Lake Tower before and it provided amazing views. And an amazingly convenient location. Now if I were really, really wealthy, I mean Scrooge McDuck wealthy, I would convince Disney to let me live year-round in this 3-bedroom villa. More convenient than Golden Oak and those views. Again, great video.
Disney California Grand 3 bdrm villa is similar to this layout. It has a pool table upstairs between the two bedrooms. The main view was overlooking the pool area and at night you can watch Disneyland's fireworks from the outdoor balconies!
We can't wait to stay (and do room tours) at Grand Californian one day! It's tough to get in there for members who don't own, but we'll get it eventually!
You guys are amazing, thank you so much for the tours!! I have a question for you tho...after seeing/staying at a 3 bedroom at Bay lake and Saratoga springs which one did u like better. My home resort is Saratoga springs but have always dreamed of staying at the Bay Lake, after seeing the amazing transformation at Saratoga I'm torn! I would appreciate your input! Thanks again so much and have a magical stay!
Oooh. Both good choices! Personally, we’d still probably choose Bay Lake because of the amazing view and the great location near Magic Kingdom. Saratoga Springs does look amazing now, and the layout is really convenient if you’re group will be splitting up at all and returning at different times, so it’s a great option. But the Bay Lake rooms are still in really good shape and has great theming that we loved, so that one is still a favorite of ours. 😊
What a gorgeous room! I love all of your tours- my dvc room “must try list” keeps getting longer:) Do you remember what room #? I’m hoping to request a marina/lake view for my next reservation. Thank you!
I know that Disney is renovating the Contemporary proper currently (June 2021), but the Villas (and I say this as a DVC owner) also don't really look all that contemporary to my eye. I hope there is a renovation considered at BLT soon as well.
The DVC resorts are on a pretty set schedule for refurbishments - soft goods refresh every 7 years and hard good refurbishment every 14. The next up for BLT is hard foods and should be around 2024.
I know that what was called contemporary in the 1960s is today called mid-century modern. I wonder if what today is called contemporary means something different? Just randomly wondering. I was born in the 1950s so I'm not sure.
I'm considering becoming a DVC member. However, I'm going to cash out, no financing. Do you know if they allow that? Also, I was considering 275 points, is that enough for this 3 bedroom villa? Thanks!
We don’t because we have the full kitchen, so we pay for a few disney meals and reheat the leftovers in our room and do grocery delivery so we have snacks and stuff for other meals. Some people do still pay for the dining plan in these rooms, but it just depends on how much time you spend in the parks versus at the resort. If you’re in the parks all day, it’s best to have the dining plan. But if you’re spending a lot of time at the resort, you can easily bring groceries or have them delivered and prepare meals in the (amazing) kitchen. 😊
Here With The Ears The villas look brilliant but we’d spend more time in the parks so I think we would use the dining plan. Thank you for the videos & replying, much appreciated
6:30 What is going on with that wood paneling up on the second floor? Canisay, the ugly master BR design too? Sheesh those were a bit disappointing tbh. Cool to see the other 3 theme parks out in the distance from lake view.
They don’t have any at this resort on the lower floors. There are other grand villas at other resorts that have lower floor options though (Grand Floridian and Old Key West are a couple)
