We bought 160 pts for BLT last January and we are very excited. It was our first trip as a family with the kids and were definitely not planning on purchasing into DVC, but there it was and I can now see many more trips back home to Disney.

Hi guys!!
Have just managed to book 4 nights in August at BLT, 2 in a MK view followed by 2 in a lake view 1 bed!!!
Very, very excited!!!
Does anyone know whether you will be able to fill up your refillable mugs by the BLT pool?

Also, can anyone tell me more about the lounge at the top of BLT...........is it a bar, are children allowed and what does it mean by it having restricted availabilty?

Thanks so much
Debsxx

Congrats, DebHill...Can't answer your questions, but wanted to say you made your ressies just in time!!! The rest of us are waiting for a crashed system to update---whatever that means!! Glad you were able to get what you wanted...

 

[Debs Hill]

Spark,
Oh no!!!! What a nightmare!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed that they get it sorted soon and that you get what you want too. When I rang they had all three view categories left so I'm hopeful for you!

Thanks, DebsHill....That gives me hope that I will be able to get what I want for August....

 

[Debs Hill]

Still keeping everything crossed for you!!!

Does anyone know if the Magic Kingdom view rooms include rooms on the first couple of floors, or whether they are just the higher floors?! Don't want to have spent all those points on a low level view of the car park/bus stop!!! ha! ha!

Another crash? BLT only again?

I wonder if it has to do with not all of the building being declared into inventory?

All- got my deed (and "Policy of Title Insurance) in yesterday's mail! Cover letter was dated Feb. 13, 2009. I signed Nov. 4, 2008 and it was recorded 11/24/2008. I know someone was asking about when they'd get their's, but I don't remember what board that was. FYI, I financed through Disney and first loan payment was Feb. 1st...

Thank you, you posted this just in time. I was beginning to wonder about follow-up paperwork after closing....which I believe was sometime in December.

Hi All,

We just bought 200 points at BLT!! So excited for out first stay there. My DH was sold when he heard "monorail"

Perfect resort for us. Thanks for all of the great information here.

 

[dr&momto2boys]

Just bought 250 pts at BLT yesterday! Yay!

We've been ready to buy BLT since it was just a rumor that it would be built! Can't believe we finally did it!

We knew we would purchase before May and just waited for the right opportunity. We bought at the Doorway to Dreams event in Chicagoland. We got a 7night cruise, a 1 week exhange in RCI, and 4 Mary Poppins in Chicago tickets. Pretty happy with that and so excited about the cruise. I hope to take it this Fall.

Our first BLT trip is planned for May 2010. Hoping to get a GV for a week. We're going with SIL's family (2 adults, 2 kids), MIL, FIL, and us (2 adults, 3 kids.) We did this in a GV at BWV in 2007 and it was a blast! Can't wait!

We just got our deeds in the last 10 days (we split our 280 purchase into 160 and 120), with one coming about 10 days ago and one coming on Friday. We placed our order early so it would go in as soon as they opened sales to non-members.

I posted this somewhere, but I don't think it was here... Sooooo, my deed came Sat.. 2/21/09. 160 pts., single contract. I signed 11/4/2008 and it was recorded with the county 11/24/2008. I first met with my guide 10/21/2008 and verbally committed 10/24/2008. Then we had some phone tag & I completed by mail.

Hope that is helpful to people!

We just signed up at Doorway to Dreams in IL to own our first DVC -- BLT, 160 points (which is a lot for a young married couple who usually books on Priceline). Waiting to hear back about financing . . . we were previously approved (in June) for premium financing but this time they said we were approved for standard. Wife had fraud on her credit that is "being dealt with" by the banks and it has apparently affected her score a small bit due to the domino effect. Nothing else has changed -- credit should be spotless other than that. Long story. Anyway, our guide is going to try to get them to look at our documentation and approve us for the financing we were approved for previously. We're signing up as long as they give us the lower rate. Otherwise, we'll have to pass, in which case I'll have to slip into a depressive coma for a few weeks.

I have a question: if there's no housekeeping for a few days, can you get fresh towels and linens yourself without paying extra, or do you have to wash them yourself? Nothing's worse than sheets that are dirty from a hot day at the parks. It's kinda like laying in the boodie grime of all the tourists who have sat on the rides before you.

Congratulations!

Re: towels and linens
I'm pretty sure you have to wash them yourself. It's no big deal though since the washer/dryer are right in your unit.

We through in a load of towels everyday. I shower if I feel sweaty or dirty before bed so we usually don't worry about the sheets.

You can pay for towels and trash service. Not sure how much that is anymore.
