We also received our title 2/21/09. We purchased 200 points at BLT on 11/26/08. It was recorded by the county on 12/08/08. I hope this helps.

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.

I thought you could request additional trash bags and towels from mousekeeping free of charge if you actually went over to them rather than have them delivered / existing trash emptied... However, looking at some other threads I'm starting to think I might be wrong about that, at least the towel part. Then again, I've never stayed @ a DVC resort yet, much less tried this, so I dunno'!

Lets not forget too that there is an option for daily maid service. I've never used it and I couldn't even begin to remember the charge to have it.

 

[dr&momto2boys]

Maid service=big $$$
Towels and trash=doable if you really hate laundry

Sorry I don't know the cost, It's been a couple years since we considered it. I do know the bigger the room, the more expensive the service.

We just added on 110 points at the Doorway to Dreams event in Chicago. We are hoping to go in December. As soon as we get our paperwork processed I will be trying to make our reservations. Of course I want a MK view room. Who doesn't? We are very excited.

We added 200 points yesterday at Doorway to Dreams! But, probably won't go home here until summer of 2010.

you don't need to wait - make your reservations NOW - Dec is going fast.

there are very, very few MK view - they might be gone already.

right now don't want a MK view. will wait a few years to try for one.

After we made our Dec ressies on the 8th, my CM told me that nearly every MK view room was gone for Dec. He said with the exception of one day here or there, there were zero MK views left. However, at that time there were lots of other views. Many could have cancelled their ressies, or something else between then and now. But I agree w/Spiceycat, reserve now, worry about the paperwork later!

We have 200 points. We arn't planning on using them until Nov of next year. We are banking this years points to get a 2 bedroom. We are however using our DP's for GCH in May.

Must have missed the deed we closed in Nov sometime, what does it look like?

We also purchased 225 BLT points to add to our AKL ones. We are founding members at BLT. It took me 2 years to talk my husband into becoming DVC members originally and about 2 seconds to buy at BLT
Booked Dec 26-Jan 2/09 first day. Started calling at 8:55 (with 2 phones dialing continually) and finally got through 4 hours later. Wasn't able to get MK view for New Years but hey...as long as we're "Home"

We also bought/closed in Nov and we received our title documents late last week. You can't miss them, it comes in a full page type envelope, nothing folded and has Disney in the address portion for the sender. Good luck!

Yours should be coming soon! As another poster mentioned, it is a large envelope that shows Disney as the return address. I feel even more like an owner now. Yes, I'm a geek too..and proud of it!

 

[CJ&Mickey2004]

We bought 270pts Feb 12. We debated for about 5 years if we wanted to buy a DVC but to be able to own at Bay Lake Towers we had to jump on it. Plus the free 7-day cruise, 1 week thru RCI & $5/pt rebate really sealed the deal. We will be staying at BLT Dec 4-6.

We're part of the group that added on at the Doorway to Dreams event. We initially added on at our home resort (AKV) but after wandering up to the store to see the models we changed our minds! We immediately changed it to 100 points at BLT and I don't regret it for a minute. I had no idea I'd like the BLT models so much... they don't photograph well at all compared to reality!

We're already booked Concierge at AKV in October... so no trip to BLT for us until Nov/Dec of 2010 Not sure how we'll make it that long!! I'll have to check this thread often to keep the anticipation high!

Welcome home neighbors!!!

Great timing It just arrived today! I'm so happy. Maybe I'll frame it to show it off. I paid enough for it.
