First, congratulations on having your own multi-generation family tradition, DVC! Observations for you to consider: 1) Use Year only matters if you want to assure the flexibility to cancel a trip and be assured the ability to bank points. If plans are firm/concrete, then Use Year does not...

HDMI works great at BLT.

We bought another resort a few years ago, and got as a bonus "developer points" that were valid for one year and only at SSR. Neither of us were looking forward to our first stay, but that year we stayed at SSR three times and loved each stay. SSR is a fine resort!

Here's another way to explain this. The difference between "inner" and "outer" units at BLT is in the living room portion of the 2BR unit. "Inner" units have parallel walls and the four corners are at 90 degree angles. "Outer" units have a slight pie or wedge shape to the living room. The...

I don't think any timeshare offers "late check out". How about booking an extra day at the end of your current stay?

I am so pleased to read the recent posts mentioning that room 7530 has been classified as a Standard View (2BR Dedicated). As I mentioned in my posts 1667/1672: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=43727776&postcount=1667 http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=43750397&postcount=1672...

Our most recent THV stay was January 2013. Trouble with dishwasher - buttons on control panel goofed up. Problem solved with one phone call and maintenance brought an entire brand new dishwasher to replace the one with troublesome buttons - presumably easier to fix back in the "shop" and not...

Our favorite DLP resort hotel is Sequoia Lodge. It's kind of a cross between Wilderness Lodge at WDW and Grand Californian at DLR. We just enjoyed the overall look and feel of the structure. Two days is probably about right for DLP - we greatly prefer TDR (Tokyo) as a better theme park...

In October 2012 at BLT, we got our "day of departure" statement via email, and nothing appeared on our door. I don't remember if they asked which way I wanted it when we checked in, but it sure was nice to get it via email on my smartphone.

My theory is that when you use the booking screen to query a reservation, the "offer" they've displayed to you is actually "held" inventory - if there was only one room, someone else making the same query a minute after you would see "unavailable" until you've decided 1) to select the offer...

IME, excellent. Each THV unit appears to have its own WiFi base station, unlike the typical resorts where they seem to have put the base station in every third room, so it only works great in that room, while adjacent rooms get marginal service.

+1 OP should study this thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2257082 My opinion: I love BLT - LV or STD view. I just don't care for MK view.

Our experience with wifi at THV in Jan 2012 was excellent. It appeared to us that each THV unit had its own base station and does not share unit-to-unit as seems to be done at other resorts. This may explain why our experience at THV was so good.

TDR is home to our favorite Disney theme park, DisneySea! Please post your thoughts after you make your first visit - I'm sure others would be interested to hear your first time observations.

I'd be shocked to learn that parking was free at any TDR resort hotel for DVC guests - it's not free for anyone else as far as I can tell. From the web site, looks like guest parking rates at TDH are 2,000 JPY for the first night and 1,000 JPY for each additional night. I have never considered...

I would like to point out a problem with this plan in addition to problems that others correctly pointed out - that at closing, all pending reservations are automatically canceled (with the exception of Hawaii - an exception I wasn't aware of). Your plan is to close at the end of October...

Disney WiFi worked great at THV in Jan 2012. I had brought but didn't even use our travel router.

Congratulations! This illustrates a point folks sometimes forget. Just as OP, a non-BLT owner, wanted to get BLT at 7 months, there are likely BLT owners who would just as soon book somewhere else at 7 months. Karma works!

Yes, you can borrow points from multiple contracts for one reservation. This of course assumes your multiple contracts are under one membership number. I suggest trying a booking now. You can always try booking a reservation, including borrowing, and until you click "ok" on the final...
