BLT theme park view V Boulder ridge

[Guest]

we hit out 7 month window yesterday, i have a choice to change my SSR to either of the above

We have wanted to stay at both, of course BLT is alot more points

BLT Theme park view are really nice if you win the high floor lottery and get 9 or above. There are some disappointing mostly car park views in the lower floor rooms on 5-8 which shouldn't IMHO even be TPV.

Having said that, I own there and would book it in a flash.

BLT. It’s fantastic albeit studios a bit small, we had 1 bed.
I’d say Boulder Ridge possibly usually as I think it’s very nice and hits the spot for us, but the rooms really, really need a refurb. When it’s done it will be amazing and we will be booking. Now starts 2022. Never stayed just visited but a visit was enough to make me really want to stay when those rooms are done. Love that separate building and lobby.

Definitely BLT for me. Even a few lake view rooms have a part theme park view. The ease of walking to and from MK is a massive bonus.

We own at BLT and could never justify the points for Boulder Ridge.

Those low rooms are a points rip off.

They are better than they used to be when BLT first opened.

thanks folks

Its funny my wife has always wanted to stay at the contemporary ( then BLT came along and I always said it would need to be a TPV room or nothing )

BUT, we love WL, never stayed, but always visit once or twice to eat

never thought at 7 months out we would get the availability in aug for BLT, so is it a chance we need to take ? ? ?

i guess something to consider is that the points saved from staying at BR, would pay for a few nights elsewhere the next year

Notice that BW is available now aswell

Ohhhh i dont know

Oooohhhhh just spotted riviera is available, bit heavy on points, but it has a skyliner stop

Now sure why DW is determined now to stay in BR

We stayed at copper creek and absolutely loved it. I will definitely return.

I am much less keen on Boulder creek. The rooms are dark and less inviting.

I wouldn’t recommend a studio at BLT. They are very small to the point where I found them uncomfortable.

I've only stayed in a 1 bed at both but would choose BLT, I love WL and CC but I just didn't feel there was anything special about Boulder Ridge, hence why it took me until 2018 to stay there despite owning since 2002, couldn't justify the points. Great location, but BLT would have the location AND the view so a winner for me.

We were lucky with our BLT room, we had 2 floors from the top on the outer rim, HUGE room with gorgeous views, there's a significant difference in size to the inner rim rooms.

Riviera doesn't appeal to me at all tbh, I just wouldn't spend more points than BCV/BWV to stay in a worse location.
