*** Bay Lake Tower Owners Group***

great news!

 

[DVCGeek]

i guess i will never know whether or not our tiles will be there. i purchased my contracts during the first few days of sales to dvc owners and am a founding member.

I hope they end up in place. Guess people will just have to do a scavenger hunt once BLT opens. I assume you are talking about the "Temp Fountain"... I would have really liked to get on that, but I was a NEW member. BLT is my home , that's all that REALLY matters...

do the MK view - and near BLT is a large pond - my guide thinks the fountains will be here.

Hey everyone! Can I join the group! My DH and I just bought 201 points (weird number, I know) at the BLT and we are so excited to stay there in January!

We bought 201 because that was the amount we needed in 2010 to stay in a one bedroom villa.. We are hoping to buy some more points later so we can get a MK view.

Count me in!! We were originally going to buy into AKL, but after the tour decided on BLT instead. Our first trip is in February 2010 and I can't freaking wait! We bought in at the minimum 160 points, but since it's just the two of us and we don't need anything bigger than a studio I can't see adding on until we have kids. I mean, yeah, the bigger kitchen with an oven would be nice, but we're raw vegans these days, so it isn't exactly a dealbreaker not to have it.

WELCOME HOME all you fellow BLT lovers!!!

New BLT owners here, we went to see the model at SSR on our vacation last week and signed all the paperwork on site. I cant wait to stay the first time.

 

[DVCGeek]

Welcome home tarpat1!!! I think we are all chomping at the bit to stay @ 'the sandwhich'. That could be a fun nickname for BLT... Doubt it will catch on, but if it does, remember who said it!

The traditional interview: How many points, are you new to DVC, what incentives did you get, and will you tell us when you make your first ressies?

 

[tarpat1]

We did a 100 point add on, we are owners at Vero so were looking at options to add on property. Our incentives were $5 a point and a 3 day cruise for up to 4 people. The DW was going to try to make ressies for Feb 2010 today, no news yet but here's hoping.

we were just down this week for our incentive points redemption. I'd swear there are people in the bay lake towers. I wonder if its VIP guests or something, it doesn't look like construction traffic as it was about 10pm.

 

[MrsG]

We did a 150 pt add on at BLT. We also own at BCV, SSR, and AKV. We got the matching developer points and $5 pp reduction. We also just made our ressies yesterday for President's week in Feb., studio MK view.

You know, when we first heard about BLT, we didn't even consider it because our first love is BCV. But the more we thought about it, we felt it would give us the 11 mo window at a place that is going to be very difficult to book during peak times, like Christmas, Feb. break, Easter, etc. So we decided to do it. Now we are really excited about it, especially since we didn't realize it is only a 10 min. walk to the MK! Yes, add us in as BLT Lovers .

I'm sure they're working around the clock putting furniture in place and all the finishing touches to ensure they meet the new grand opening.

I know others have mentioned this before, but when I go in to my contract detail on DVCMember.com my BLT contract (master & currently only one) still shows as:

Home Resort
null

Is that what everyone else still sees?


Also, I was talking to my guide today and she confirmed that dues will be starting August 4th now that the resort is opening sooner, so especially if you use automatic withdrawal make sure you plan your bank balance accordingly!

I'm a proud owner at resort null as well! Still seeing it that way at the Web site. I just received the recorded deeds for three of our four contracts.

I'm not sure if we'll be able to hold out and wait to stay at BLT for the first time in summer of 2010. We'll be at SSR on our DPs this summer.

Welcome home!!! We just became members as well!!! We will be at our new home in early December!!!

 

[DVCGeek]

Welcome home WelovMickey! and goofygal1975

BLT is my home resort also, I joined DVC in Nov. '08. I just started pre-paperwork for a VGC add on, can't wait to have TWO home resorts!

 

[dcfromva]

I received a call from quality assurance on Friday evening (like around 5:30pm) saying they hadn't received my founder tile inscription yet and the deadline for getting the info to them is Midnight on Monday the 16th....

I called back and got the voice mail. I re-sent the information to the email that I was given, but there was an automatic email response saying the person was out of the office through the 16th...

It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling...

 

[DVCGeek]

It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling...

Good luck, I would have loved one of those tiles. I hope you get yours!

Count me in for this thread!! We recently visited WDW for the first time followed by our first ever Disney Cruise. While at the WL, we attended the tour at the DVC Center at SSR but were leaving the next day and didn't have time to fully make our decision. We then went to the DVC presentation aboard the Magic and are now the proud (prospective) owners of two 160-point Bay Lake Tower contracts. Just waiting for the paperwork to go through.

If this seems like impulse buying, trust me, it isn't. I've been researching DVC for over a year now (poor Maribella at SSR didn't have much to tell us that I hadn't read about on the DIS). We did 2 contracts so as to have something to leave to our 2 kids.

Now I can't wait for our first trip home, although I'm not entirely sure when that will be.
