Bay Lake Towers Opening Trip - Part 2
Category WDW
So, leading up to our trip....I felt a lot like that little boy from the Year of a Million Dreams add campaign, “I’m too excited to sleep!”
We initially had our reservations for the official opening day (my gods, I can’t remember when it was supposed to be. September?) then when DVC changed the date on us we changed our dates too. Which is fun, because we already had a reservation for August 14-16 for DH’s BD celebration at the VWL. Which we kept. I mean, we couldn't not be there for DH's BD, could we? Oh well, the sacrifices we have to make for our DVC.
(BTW, anyone else notice that the original dates were during the “Adventure” season and the new dates just so happened to fall in the “Magic” season? Coincidence? I don’t think so.)
We then decided that we wanted to be the first to check into BLT, so we thought we would be clever and fly down the day before. Some original idea that was! There were lots and lots of other people that had the same idea, LOL. We didn’t even try to get into a DVC room for the night. We decided that we would use the AP rate at the Comtemporary just so we could be right there for all of the action. We chose a Tower - Bay Lake View. I guess we really wanted to see how that would compare with BLT. We've never stayed there before so this would be a good time to try it! So here's our first, and maybe last, reservation at the Comtemporary.
