What is TCB? I did buy just before the deadline!

Sorry for the confusion...TCB=Take Care of Business.

CONGRATS all new owners and happy campers who got in before the deadline!

On a different note, I had to call MS yesterday and when I asked about the Sept. 1 opening date, the rep said they had not yet received "official" word that this was the opening date. Is that cause for concern or normal? If it's normal, when do they normally make the proposed date an official one when new properties open?

Well I think Sept 1 is the Official-proposed date- but they always keep the caveat in there 'subject to change' in case of unforseen delays. If it is any comfort- I think much of AKV opened or is opening ahead of the propsed dates they put out in the begining.

Quetion for all you BLT vets!! Is there a new quick service restaraunt in the BLT building? In the Contemporary? Or is there no new QS?

 

[spiceycat]

the licenses say both top of the world - the thing we can watch the fireworks.

and the pool bar can serve food.

but CR is not far and with that bridge - it is almost the same building.

so you can run over to CR for their counter service.

I am not worried at all. All the dvc resorts have opened on time - most open before time.

AKV at Jambo House opened I think 2 months before hand.

now don't think BLT will - really think DVC wants this done right - so Sept is when expecting it to open.

when it opens really expecting all the rooms to be right (the GV were not right at AKV)

DVD (the builder of DVC) really has some high costs to the construction companies and designers if they don't finish on time (think)

We just added 2 - 50pt contracts at Bay Lake Towers in addition to our 220 at AKV. Add me to the groupie list!

How many floors/rooms are to be open in September?

 

[spiceycat]

well I think the entire building.

with the GV on the top floor - they might start down instead of up.

but don't know.

remember what is not sold, CRO can rent it.

so really expecting the first dec to have more renters (CRO or WDTC) than DVC members.

Wow, what do you think CRO will rent for?

 

[spiceycat]

Wow, what do you think CRO will rent for?

well the studios are generally the same as the rooms.

so the MK view at CR will probably be the studios with MK views.

same for bl, probably the deluxe rooms for standard view (this is a guess).

the 1-bedroom and up - who knows. Probably as much as Disney thinks it can get. especially if they have a program going that creates demand - maybe free dinning? who knows?

really want to see what Disney charges for those MK GV - won't be surprised if they are the most expensive DVC rooms to date.

Good to know. Thanks!

We just got word that we are founding members of BLT for our add-on purchase from late December (finalized Jan. 4)! Now we just have to figure out what goes on the tile....

Is anybody else planning on making reservations for Sept? We have our airline tickets for the 4th-13th. I am wondering if I should make a reservations at BW and then wait until March 1st to book at BLT. I am just worried if they don't open on time we might not be able to get a room.
