We just bought 100 points while on a cruise last week. It's out first DVC purchase, but I am sure we will be adding on in the future!

I purchased 160 points in December 2010 for BLT to be my home resort. Going to be staying there the first weekend in June to see Star Wars Weekends (snagged the last MK view studio I was told by member services), but may wind up staying first at OKW to visit my sister for Easter.

I've always wanted to stay at the Contemporary but couldn't make it work. Glad I could make DVC work and stay here. It's going to feel good coming "home".

Count me in for 160 pts at BLT. First home trip in dec. 2011

Just bought a small 25 point add on in December. Will be staying there for 2 nights (maybe 4) in November. Bank/borrow--best way to go.

We bought 210 points at BLT in September 2009. Added 100 points this last November, just before the price increase. All points direct from Disney. We love it.
Even with 310 points we aren't sure this is enough as we will need a 2 bedroom at least once a year. Stayed in a dedicated 2 br standard this last September and we were beyond happy. Going back next October.

Does anyone know if the Studio bathroom renovation has begun? And if so, are they starting on the higher floors, lower floors, or what? We are in a Studio in March and I would LOVE to have one with the new configuration versus the sink vrs. sink.

Oops double post!

Why are they renovating ?

When they built the studio, the did not put the sink in bathroom but in the kitchenette area. So, you had them across from each other.

What they are doing is turning it around so that it is now in the bathroom. I think they must have gotten a lot of complaints to make the change only 1 1/2 years in.

We are new owners! We bought into BLT in November 2010. Our first trip is October 2-9!

 

[GettinReadyforDisney]

Added on 100 pts to BLT!

Did you buy direct? If so -- what did you pay per point? (if you don't mind me asking!)

I'm thinking about an add-on.

 

[AirGoofy]

Added at BLT last year. Booked a week in October and am so excited.

 

[WDWCP96]

Just joining in now. We bought at BLT in May of 2009 and stayed there for our first time in October 2010 and because we waited too long to book we are on the wait list for a 1 bedroom in June of this year. I love BLT and am so glad that we bought there.

I'm thinking about an add-on.

Just FYI, BLT is set to go up to a base price of $140 on March 7, 2011. There is supposed to be a brief period where members adding-on can still get current ($130) pricing, but no word on how long that will last...

http://dvcnews.com/index.php/news-program-information-93/1489-yet-another-blt-price-increase

DVCNews.com is currently listing member add on pricing as:

Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Villas****

$130 per point 25-99 points
$130 base price less $13 promotional discount; 100-249 points
$130 base price less $18 promotional discount; 250+ points

That all makes me glad I bought back at the end of Oct. 2008! Back then I got my 160 points for $107 each ($112 base - $5 incentive; it was my first [master] contract).

We want to join, my DW and I bought 160 point at BLT in SEPT 2010. My DW was so excited since it is connected to the contemporary and that is her icon hotel from her childhood.

Looks like the DVC Salespeople were busy last fall!
We bought-in with 160 pts in October and have already booked our first trip HOME for October 2011!

How do I specify a room request for our reservation? I used the online Reservation Request system, but I do not recall if there was anywhere to add "notes" to the reservation. I assume I need to call MS? Just hoping to get highest floor possible with our 1BR LV.

TIA
