We had a handicap studio last month at BLT. The kitchenette is out to the side in the "hall" and soo much smaller, almost no counter space.

The bath was one enclosed sink/shower unit/bath unit. it was huge! it was gorgeous and all three of us could throw a party in there.

The bedroom/living area was kinda small but we enjoyed it. 2 adults and a BIG teenager (for those that know my Moose). We had the same view as the original poster, and loved it. Watched Wishes from our room while it rained outside.

We bought BLT that weekend. Waiting for Hawaii and dreaming for maybe a GF DVC.

Thanks for the review. BLT is my home resort and we have our first reservation next August in a 2 bedroom. I did see the model of the studio at the Doorway to Dreams place at Roosevelt Mall in Long Island and it did't seem that bad but maybe that's because I have never seen other studios. I just joined DVC in August. Probably though, after staying in the 2 bedroom for my first stay I will get spoiled and won't want to downgrade in the future to a studio. I think I'll have to do the 1 bedroom for future visits unless I buy more points and can keep doing the 2 bedroom.

You can definately become spoiled with the 2 bedroom! We have occasionally stayed at the marriott villas before we bought dvc and I think we just became acustomed to more space. Its just odd because we have never had an issue in the moderates or even deluxe rooms, never felt like we were "too" closed in, but for some reason this studio just gave us a not so comfortable feeling.

We just stayed 4 nights in a dedicated 2 BR at BLT and thought it was huge and gorgeous (Oct 18-22). Thanks for the warning on how small the studios are, that will be painful when we have to stay in them. We had a beautiful lake view and had no noise issues. We also loved the TOW, which was never crowded when we went up. I look forward to staying here again. It was dreamy walking "home" after the Halloween Party!
