*** Bay Lake Tower Owners Group***

[kaffinito]

Too funny that I hear things on the DIS BEFORE I hear them from my guide! To that end, maybe the new date will catch some off guard and make the phone just ever so slightly less crowded

Now I REALLY have to finalize our dates and get ready for Sunday morning. Can I hear ya'll join me in singing....
Oh how I love my Bay Lake Tower...baby, I'm comin' home

I'm with you! My guide never did call me back or let me know what was going on. Maybe I need to find a new one...

And I'm singing right along with you!

I am so excited that this is now confirmed, Sunday will definitely be insane trying to get through on the phones. It will be great to finally have the room all squared away, then the real vacation countdown can begin. I look forward to Aug now to read all about everyone's experiences there. Good luck everyone with making your ressies!

Hi everyone, we bought 160 points on 1/31 and we are so excited! We are planning for either January or February of 2010 for our first trip home!

I am so excited to have found this thread.

This may be a silly question but what does it mean to be a founding member?

This may be a silly question but what does it mean to be a founding member?

if you brought 160 points in the first couple of months - then you might get a tile in the fountain if you were one of the first 1,000 members.

you needed to be doing add on - not a new member. (although sometimes it seems like they did allow new members)

 

[pixierella]

I bought my first points at BLT and then did an add on on 01/12/09. I asked about there being any tiles left and I was told no. I was so bummed,

founding members of any dvc villa are the first (set number of people) who purchase the number of pts required. with blt you had to purchase 160 pts. and the number of founding members was something like 1000, but i may be wronge about that number. since existing dvc members have first opportunities to purchase, a lot of the founding members are made up of existing dvc members.

if i am wronge, other groupies please correct my knowledge.

love those founding members, they get everything started off with a bang!

i am still trying to find out if i should get dps for my small add on of 25 pts that was made after my initial founding purchase of 180 pts. does anyone know for sure?

Another Groupies question.....if I am staying in a lake view studio, will I be able to see the Electrical Boat Parade at night?

The only people entitled to a FOUNDING MEMBERS TILE at BLT were EXISTING DVC MEMBERS who purchased an interest of 160 points or more. I bought 320 in the timeframe and was not eligible, since I wasn't an existing member.

No, no DPs for anything under a 100 pt add on. I did 60 and my guide reminded me of this. Couldn't afford to do the 100 at that point.

 

[Disneydonnam]

Does everybody who bought at BLT receive dps? I own at BWV and BCV and purchased 160 points at BLT. I received the plaque promotion and the price of $105 a point but don't remember hearing anything about dps. Not sure if they had different promotions.

 

[jeankeri]

The dp promotion started after the original sales. Contact your guide to get your dps. They will not contact you after the fact or credit them to you unless you ask.

 

[Disneydonnam]

Thank you for your quick response. I will call on Monday. Could you please explain to me the promotion so I have an idea of what I am talking about when I call.

 

[jeankeri]

They added the dp incentive after the initial BLT sales started. Basically you get 1 dp for every BLT point purchased, to be used at SSR by (I believe) sometime in October this year. Hopefully someone will correct me on the expiration date of these points. Those who purchased prior to the dps being offered have reported on these boards that they were able to call their guide and get these dp points credited. It has also been reported that some guides are better at follow-up than others, and other members have had to be persistent in order to get them credited. Good luck Monday!

We just bought into the magic at BLT and are counting down the days until we can make our first booking for March 2010...

Thank You. I will post after my phone call on Monday.

The DP points have to be used up by October 3rd. I specifically asked if they had to be used up by Oct 3rd, or if the reservation could start the third. I'm kinda bummed that they can only be used at Saratoga Springs. For my family of 5, that dosen't go very far. I am actually considering putting them into RCI, where I would have 2 years to use them, but not sure yet.

TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK... Only about 16 hours now. Good luck, my fellow "fast finger" dialers!
