Can you post what the BLT incentives were at the tour?

We just returned and took the member's tour. Added another 250 points of BLT to our 150 we already had.. So with our AK points, we are up to 750!

Anyhow, the incentives were:

All 2009 points and prorated 2010 maintenance fees.

$14 off for 250 or more points.
$12 off for 125 or more points.
$10 off for 100 or more points.
$6 off for 50 or more points.

OR

3-night cruise ocean view for 4 with 100 points
4-night cruise ocean view for 4 with 125 points
4-night cruise veranda for 4 with 160 points
7-night cruise ocean view for 4 with 200 points
7-night cruise veranda for 4 with 250 points

You also get VIP fast pass cards just for taking the tour.

They claim that BLT is almost sold out and that the price is about ready to go up again. Who knows for sure on that..

DH surprised me with 320 pts at BLT sight unseen! He's never even been to WDW before!

We had a trip planned in Dec to stay at YC and he said that he might as well get the DVC because he knew I'd be dragging him down every year (just married 1 month ago!!!)

So excited and can't wait to stay at BC and BLT this December (had to split due to availability)!!!!

We're taking our first trip home to BLT in late September - can't wait!

Not sure why I didn't post here before, but we just purchased BLT about a month ago. Won't go home for the first time until next year, but have two trips planned!

We just bought BLT about a month ago - 100 points via resale. We are going to SSR/AKV in October and just booked exactly 11 months out for 4 days MK view next June before our cruise on the Dream for our 10th anniversary. Couldn't be more excited!

I would LOVE to add on more points but will have to wait a bit for the finances to catch up!

Just got back from 2 weeks at the World. First week was a 1 bedroom at SSR and second was a 1 bedroom (7434 LakeView) at BLT. Our first stay at BLT and just loved it. I just loved the decor and the setup of the 1 bedroom. Location, location, location. I liked being able to get to MK and ride the TTA anytime I wanted too. The kids do not want to stay anywhere else from now on (can we say add on). I think with BLT they got it right with having 2 bathrooms and the sleep chair in the 1 bedroom. That's a big step up from SSR. I also loved the Top of World lounge for viewing the fireworks. It was never crowded. I'm not sure how the bar area will make it unless they open it up to more than just members staying on points (I expect that to change in the future) anyway, until I add on I'll be trying my luck at the 7 month mark. Again, DVC got it right with BLT first class all the way.

260 for us. Going home for the 2nd time Jan 15th 2011

Just back from BLT one bedroom! June 26 - July 3 -2010. Everyone is correct about the LOCATION!!! It was sooo convenient! DVC has it right this time!! I have 2 teenagers... a boy and a girl. Now one can sleep on the couch bed and one on the chair that makes out into a bed. It is like a twin sized bed and she said it was comfortable!! AND the extra bathroom was from heaven!! No fights while getting ready! This has really made a difference in where we will stay! The room was clean and really nice.

In my opinion I LOVED the Bay Lake view better than the MK view. The MK view is all parking lot. Yes, the castle is in the distance, but I would MUCH rather sit on the balcony and look at the pool and lake! We watched the fireworks every night from somewhere. The best view is "Top of the World!"

We usually go in November, so we really weren't used to the June HEAT. The lines were long but not too terrible. We just like it cooler! BLT or AK will be our resorts from now on because of the pull out chair and extra bathroom in the one bedroom! LOVE IT!!!

I am SOOO glad to be reading positive reviews about BLT. There was such a string of bad comments for a while there and it was really making us panic that our BLT purchase was not a good choice. Hopefully we don't get too many recent reports of flooding rooms, AC woes or torn-apart furnishings. I guess every project has kinks to work out. From the recent positive reviews, it sounds like the worst of the problems are being addressed and/or are behind us. Our first trip "home" to BLT will be for our son-in-law's 30th bday this winter. We're really looking forward to a fantastic time!

 

[Greysword]

The tale of woe I admittedly have helped to perpetuate will not detract me from staying at my favorite DVC resort as much as I can!

I hope readers keep in mind that many of the comments written about the resort mirror those for other resorts, and I think this is because the long time members have the experience to compare the minutia of one resort to the others and their experiences of the past. The comments are certainly valid, but in the end DVC resorts are fantastic and relatively well cared for by the staff. Also as owners, we have a greater stake in the DVC resorts than cash guests to WDW. I believe this equates to a certain pride and a sense of ownership and responsibility for our home resorts; wouldn't you agree?

In the end once the furnishings show significant wear (maybe sooner than planned by the management company), they will be replaced; hopefully by more durable pieces. Live and learn.

Bottomline, although the rhetoric may seem negative, I think the BLT-CR combo is the best resort on property and worth every penny we paid for it.

 

[spiceycat]

every new DVC resort has it fans and those who would never be happy.

now some of the complaints against BLT are valid. One of my standard studio has the table scratched and candle wax on it and one of the night stands.

very strange.

now lots of DVCers think the kitchen/bathroom sink together is strange - but got use to it. like it now - makes it easier. now don't know how would feel if my family was larger. It might get very small in that room.

Welcome Home and Congratulations to all the new BLT owners!!!

We just joined DVC and bought into BLT. Our entire family is super excited. I can't wait to learn some thing from other BLT owners.

Of course, we are especially looking forward to our first stay.

Where can I get a BLT banner for my signature?

 

[KaySue65]

We are really excited! We have just purchased a contract for Bay Lake Towers. We are looking at planning our first visit to our new home resort
