You should have received a copy of the annual report in the mail for each of your home resorts. This includes the proposed budget and dues changes. The budgets were approved at the recent annual meeting (really just a formality).

2013 dues statements should be coming out soon, but yes, the increase from $4.22 to $4.50 is confirmed.

Somehow overlooked this thread in the past. New BLT owner (170 points) in October 2012. Will be enjoying our first DVC stay in 2013, but at Kidani with a planned BLT later in 2013.

I am wondering if the room keys for the Grand Villas get you access on the elevators that take you to floor where the second entrance door is. I know a CM has to let give access to guests going to the Top of the World lounge, but can Guests get to that floor on their own?

I ask because we will have young adults with us that will probably hit Jelly Rolls, etc. and be coming in late, and I was wondering if they would be able to get back to their bedrooms via that top floor of the Grand Villa or will they still need to use the main door on the first floor?

I just found this thread a few days ago, and it has taken me awhile to make my way through... We bought BLT back in October 2010, and love it!

I know that RweTHEREyet posted this question back in February, and therefore probably no longer needs an answer... But I thought I would post a response in case anyone else ever has the same question. The TOTWL is located on the top floor, i.e., the 16th floor. The theme park view GVs are located on floor 14-15, and therefore do not have direct access to the TOTWL. However, the lake view GVs are located on floors 15-16, and may or may not have direct access to the TOTWL; I have heard that they do, but cannot speak from experience. We stayed in a theme park view GV and still were required to access the TOTWL from the BLT lobby.

I hope this helps.

my dw and I have started planning our first trip to BLT for the first week in April 2014. We just recently bought 100 points and now my parents, sister and her two kids want to join us. We bought enough points to go to WDW every other year for a week staying in a studio so we don't have enough points to get a larger accomodation. I told them to try renting points but I don't know how well that is going to work out. Either way, we can't wait to stay at BLT for the first time.

We are checking into a 2BR Lake View at BLT on 3/13... We cannot wait... We have stayed in a 2BR twice but with the theme park view, but never LV. We love out BLT points, and look forward to many more stays in the future.
