We love CR, it's our bigger kids' favorite hotel, and would have loved to buy into BLT, but it's not in the budget right now because we would only buy points outright. We'd have to sell our BCV points, and dh isn't ready for that. He was very jealous when he saw our photos from our vacation last year in the CR tower, so maybe if we keep showing them to him, he'll change his mind. (He was in Afghanistan on deployment, so with five of us we could fit into a CR room).

We're hoping to stay for oldest dd's graduation trip in Sept or early Dec. 2011 (assuming she'll be graduating in June, if not, she's in big trouble), splitting with BCV if we can get in at 7 months. Fingers crossed for that. The pool looks great, and we just love the CR. Can't explain why, just something about it. And since MK is everyone's favorite park, it's a no brainer, except to dh, who loves his BCV.

We would LOVE to stay at BLT! We loved the Contemporary the one time we were able to stay there. Does anyone here know if September is likely to be completely booked up? We are bumping our trip up to September & just wondering if BLT is a possibility at all, or if we shouldn't even get our hopes up about it! LOL

We bought BLT points in January-our first DVC purchase. I'm thrilled to join this thread. Can't wait to stay at BLT! I'm a newbie and loving the disboards. It's great to have people that understand my love of Disney.

Welcome to the Disboards. Congratulations on your DVC purchase. We also added on there and can't wait until Sept. to go. Did you book your trip?

We are going August 30-September 5, but using developer points and staying at SSR. We were just there in January (staying off site at Horizons), but we are very excited to go back. Haven't booked BLT yet. We are thinking January again. Did you have any trouble getting the reservation that you wanted? Have you ever stayed at SSR? Any suggestions? Thanks

We're staying in a one bedroom MK view during F&W Festival. We're not owners, just groupies. We own at AKV. Can't wait to see what BLT is like.

We arrive at BLT on 9/4. We have been DVC members since 99 and have never had a problem getting the reservation we wanted. If I know we want to stay at a certain resort I do book at 11 months. We usually go off season so booking at the 7 months so far has never been a problem. We have never stayed at SSR. When we take my parents we stay at BWV that is their favorite and my husband loves the BCV.

We are groupies, staying pre-cruise in a standard studio at BLT. Arrive 9/3 depart 9/6 for the Wonder 4 night cruise. I know DCL does not pick up at the Contemporary, but we will manage to get ourselves to the Poly for DCL pickup.

Have a great cruise. We are arriving at BLT on 9/4. This trip is my dh and me. We got the MKV 1 bedroom. This way he can at least get one day to sleep late without me waking him.

Thanks for information. This is all so new for me.

I checked BLT for some time in January, they were very booked up. No MK views or standard for studios. We are approaching the 7 mos mark for January, so you may want to check availability at BLT now. Once that 7 mos. window opens up, ressie's go very quickly.

Thanks. I would have waited too long if not for the suggestion. Hopefully we can get something.

...ok so here's the plan...and I'd really like to get your opinions on it please.....

We currently own at OKW....and are in the process of purchasing points at the BLT...

We are hoping to book a vacation for w/o April 19th(ish) 2010. Our wish list would consist of a 2 bdrm MK view for 6 nites (including either a Fri or Sat nite).

First of all, can we book 2 nites next month at the 11 mo window with our BLT home resort points, and then book the other 4 nites at 7 mos out with our OKW points? Would that be considered two separate reservations?

Second, it seems that many folks are booking mostly studios and 1 bedrooms (so far). Do you think we might have a shot at a 2 bedroom?

Thoughts??? Thx!!

We just added on 25 more points at BLT so now we have a total of 230 pts. I'm so excited. Signed papers Sunday night and overnighted them to DVC yesterday.

Hope to see some "creative" pics soon. Maybe some sunrise or sunset reflections etc. There some great photography that goes on down there so its coming.

 

[stromboliinc]

I'm In. We just bought 270 points. We got matching points and are doing a trip in August '09 @ SSR. I will go see my home resort (BLT) then. My parents went in April and saw the model and they were at awe of how nice it is to be.... Can't wait....so count me in.....

 

[wdw_adict]

Just joined today with 200 points, very excited about the whole thing!

Hoping to make our first trip 'Home' in April 2010. We've worked out that we can make 2 9-day trips per year with our points and shouldn't have to add-on until about 2012!
