Thank you, location is the key for why we want to stay there and also to have a theme park view too!.. Guess we'll just have to be tidy for a few day's!

Brill! Thanks for taking the time to say that, the location is the reason we really want to stay there..! really excited

I think it all comes down to preference of layout

For me the BLT studios are perfect, as I particularly love the seperate kitchen area - makes me feel as though the room is larger than other DVC studios (although I know in terms of square footage its smaller).

We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 and 9) & we can happily share a BLT studio for a fortnight - and like Karen, we happily stay in a Premier inn room altogether too (prefer BLT though), and as others have said - the location trumps everything else!

I agree about the separate kitchen area.

Hubby and I stayed there for our first 2 nights of our Silver Anniversary Trip back in August. The decor is black furniture and it felt extremely cramped. Because we were only there 2 nights the kitchen was a bit extraneous for us, but I did love the vertical slide-out storage unit. The glass door on the bathroom put us off a lot, especially as the inside acts a bit like a full length mirror and it's directly facing the toilet!

I was disappointed that the bed was only a double, and it was so close to the wall that if I side-stepped down to get into bed with my back to the wall I couldn't actually turn round to get into it!

While we loved the location (this was our view) I don't know if I could bear to stay there for any longer than a couple of nights.

Have stayed in a studio at BLT with 4 of us for 2 weeks and it was fine, they are smaller than a premier inn, but as others have said the kitchen and storage are great. Location is a big plus and we would rather stay in a studio than not go at all
This was our view too
