*** Bay Lake Tower Owners Group***

[MiaSRN62]

We are heading Home Oct. 2, 2011 with DH, DW and DS along with friends and their two youngest children. We feel so great we are able to share with our friends. Without DVC could never 'show off' to the friends.

We are staying in a 2 br lakeview and plannning the going to the halloween party the first night and with hopper passes bouncing around food and wine all week.

With nightcaps at TOTWL.

Anyone else going first week and staying at BLT?

Dh and I will be there Sept 29-Oct 1......then back one more night on Oct 8 in a studio. Looking forward to it. Have a Magic cruise in the middle of that !

DW and I did an adults only trip in May 2010 and we used a PIN code to stay at BLT at 40 percent off. We took a DVC tour thinking we would buy later but we signed that day! 200 points and another 100 by the end of the year! DW, the kids and my in-laws went in March and I'll get my first trip there with the family as DVC owners in October! We've already planned our next three trips!

Does anyone know whether the studio remodelling is finished yet, you know the changing of the bathroom
Sink from the kitchen area? Does anyone have any photos of the new layout?

We were just there in room 7828 (MK view studio). We had the remodeled layout. Honestly, I never had a problem with the old layout and actually preferred it. It was kind of annoying to have to wait for DH to finish in the shower before I could brush my teeth and finish getting ready. I just thought it was weird to brush my teeth and do bathroom stuff in the kitchen sink. IDK. it just weirded me out. That was the only problem I really had with it though.

We are at the BLT right now and we're loving every minute (and every inch) of it!!! It is soooo beautiful!!! And this bed!!!! I sleep like a baby down here (and it's not because we do so much walking..well maybe a little)...I think it's because the A/C just lulls me to sleep under that comfy cozy comforter!!! Been here since Saturday in a 1 BDRM MKV room...staying til Friday. Don't even need the parks....just give me my BLT!!!!

I completely agree. I love that bed, never slept better. And I can honestly say we didn't do much of the parks this last trip at all. I had a lot of training to do for my new job so I sat out on our balcony enjoyed the view and atmosphere while I listened to audio trainings. When we were in the parks, it was stroll to a ride or two then just head back to BLT. We did a lot of resort touring, eating, rented a boat, did Kim Possible in Epcot... a lot of things we haven't taken the time to do much of. (other than the eating... we always do a lot of that at Disney) I me some BLT!

I swear Disney spies were after us! We received pin codes the last three years before we bought and we used them for every trip starting at value resorts, working our way up to a moderate and finally our stay at BLT!

Congratulations your BLT Purchase!! Enjoy!!

I have a question for my fellow BLT owners. You've probably seen the complaints regarding the furniture and it's wearability (not so good).

Are you willing to accept a special assessment on your annual dues next year to do an out of cycle replacement of the furniture with something more durable? if so, how much per point would you accept?

I'm just concerned this may be sooner rather than later, once all the points are sold later this year.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi Chris! One of my 'issues' when I complained after our first family visit last year was the damage to the room fixtures/carpet/ and furniture. And BLT had not been open ONE YEAR! Would I be amendable to a special assessment to replace those items...NO!!! I had stayed a night in an efficiancy last October and it was gorgeous.

What I would be amendable to is holding the occupants of the room when it was damaged responsible for cleaning and/or replacement! Then DVC actually making the repairs/replacements. And I have made that clear to the powers @ DVC.

I am of the mindset that DVC did a poor choice of selecting some of the furnishings and feel that they - or the manufacturer if there was some type of warranty - ought to be the party responsible.
