See if this 93 x 100 will work. I first tried a 75 x 75, but it just seems too small.

Love it!!!! How does it look?

the food and wine festavial starts Sept 18, 2009 - so if you go late in Sept you get both MNSSHP and food/wine

Oh really???? We are planning a trip the last week of September & I was not aware that the MNSSHP would be happening then! We've never seen that !! You buy tix for that right ??

Bought 160 points at BLT!! Got the final paperwork back last week. My DS11 has been coveting a BLT stay since the rumors started....needless to say we are looking forward to March 1st to book our first trip home.

There are size limitations to signatures (I believe it's 250 in height)

Hello everyone. Anyone else feel this way (I am hoping to book BLT for early Dec) and while that feels like an eternity away, there are 2 milestones that I am eagerly awaiting as well. First is reading the boards after we all make/get our reservations done on March 1st. (Hoping all of us get what we want) And the 2nd thing is watching the boards during Sept to see just what everyone thinks about the hotel. I can't wait to read/hear about the rooms, pool, Top of the World Lounge etc.

I agree with you Dee. I can't seem to get enough information on BLT. I want to see a real room, not a mock up. I am addicted to searching for new info. We are so excited to be going and are anxiously awaiting for March 1st to make a reservation and then we will breath a big sigh of relief. It is really going to stink if we can't get a res and I am worried about getting through on the phones. Are they really going to be open on a Sunday for taking the reservations?

 

[Dee77]

Yes from what I understand they are open all 7 days of the week but close for holidays. I have the same worry that we won't get the room/view we want for our preferred dates, however we have some flexibility with dates but my in-laws are going to SSR a few days before us and we want to get as many overlapping days as possible. We'll see when March 1st finally arrives.

I didn't even think about the "pictures" we have as being artist concepts, I wonder if in the past the resorts/rooms turn out close to the concept or have there been differences?

Looks great! And admittedly better than I thought it would.

they are pretty close.

sometimes the real thing have stuff the models didn't.(disney's option to change)

plus because the building is so round - expect some of the rooms to have a different size than the models. although the elevators are in the bad areas - where it curves.

the building itself looks as advertised - maybe even better!

want Sept to get here - want to see the real thing up close and be inside it - not just from a distance.

I feel the same although our first trip "home" won't be until August 2010 We leave Florida this summer a few days before the resort opens and although we're back again in October we got such a great deal on the Contemporary that we decided to bank our 2009 points and use them along with our 2010 points for a longer stay.

I'm really looking forward to hearing how everyone got on in March and how easy / hard it is to book either MK or Standard view, then I can't wait to get feedback from people who have stayed there and to see loads of photos

 

[BWV Dreamin]

I am banking my '09 points as well...planning on an Oct. 2010 trip! Can't wait to hear all the trip reports and see all the pics....I am especially interested in any studio stays!! Wish we were going this year....

 

[spiceycat]

now you got me wondering again.

really wanted to stay in BLT this year. especially for the fireworks on the roof thing. that say a trip next year would work better... since really want to see the firework from the roof.

okay March is approaching need to make up my mind.

Same here. The plan is to use DPs at SSR this summer, bank '09 points, and stay at BLT during the summer of 2010. The banked points will give us some additional flexibility over the next few years to splurge an extra day, MK view, and/or bigger villa.

My dilemma for 2010 is should I book 5 days studio in LV or 4 days studio in MK view? I am wondering how hard MK view studio will be, even at 11 mos. I plan to use other points for the weekend if I do the 4 days MK view. For those who have had a MK view, do you get tired of seeing it after a couple of nights?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to log in for the Member Tile. I have my Code, but I dont see a link on the member site.

Thanks!

 

[goofygal1975]

I am the same way...very impatient for March 1st to arrive. This day is also our day to call for our ADRs for our may/june trip! So I'm going to put Dh on hold for the BLT ressie as I figure we'll be on hold quite awhile, and I'll make the ADR's and then take on the BLT ressies

We hope to get a MK one bedroom for the first weekend in Dec...but also plan on making a ressie for the middle of Jan for dh bday. So that will be our back up if we don't get Dec. We'll take any view, but of course will try for the MK first!

If we get Dec dates, ds will go then, and it would be just Dh and I in Jan. Keeping our fingers crossed.

I am also waiting for pictures of the "real" thing!! I have been searching all over for pictures and info!! I love it!

I wonder how long we'll all be on hold that day!

I think that we're going to splurge on the MK view for our 2010 trip with some of the banked '09 points. I'm just worried that we'll like it so much that we'll be spoiled for the LV room. Or, maybe we'll do a split MK view/LV view stay to try both and compare.

I've stayed for short trips at CR in both MK view and garden wing rooms. Either way the walking convenience to MK was a real plus. I really enjoyed the MK view for the fireworks; I do seem to remember that the parking lot below was a bit of a detraction during the day. Since the kids were born, we've stayed at Poly several times and WL once, and we could see the fireworks from both those resorts but not quite the same as my, admittedly dated, memory of the MK view at CR. I can't wait for them to see their reactions to the view from BLT.

Other than the viewing tower, can you see the fireworks anywhere else, say from the beach?
