Can someone confirm that there are only 22 lockoffs that face MK?
2 on each floor from 2-12. If any of the ones the lower floors are standard view, that means there are less than 20 MK views when the 2BR dedicated and Grand Villas are excluded.

If that's the case, won't it be extremely difficult to get once it's fully sold out?
How will that compare to concierge at AKV?

Interesting question. I'm guessing you came up with 22 by assuming that only outer/center would be considered MK view? Does anyone have a link to a recent overhead photo that includes the full footprint of BLT + the MK itself when you zoom out? Seems to me like that could really help put things in better perspective... But looking at Google Maps where the Contemporary Garden Wing used to be makes me think at least some of the north outer section would be MK view since it is right by Space Mountain. I think I read somewhere that there are only 10? lockoffs in AKV concierge, so I believe BLT MK lockoffs are at least double in headcount...

Can't way to hear others thoughts on this. BTW, is there any official view information from DVC about any of the other resorts that have bookable categories as to which rooms are which? It would be great to find that out for BLT & I hope it hits the internet soon!

good question, and in general just wondering where all the specific rooms and how many of each coordinate w/ the 3 views.

Right now can't wait to go, but glad our 1st trip is a yr into the opening as hopefully many of the newness kinks will be worked out and can get the "word" on good rooms....though I'd be suprised to find a bad one here

I counted the # rooms based on information in this thread, that's when it suddenly dawned on me that getting a 1BR or studio for MK view could be more difficult than I thought.

Today, the OCC web site just showed DVD declared more rooms at BLT. These rooms should show up in the BLT WLs soon. If some 1BR or studio WLs are filled, it should tell us if the first couple Northside 2BR lockoffs are MK view or not.

Ok I thought this was a good place to post this pic I took on our Wishes cruise last month (it's also my new avatar!) It's not as impressive in the larger size, but I still like it!

Does anyone have a TR that's staying at BLT in August?

i bought 205 pts (the first week of sales to existing members) as a founding member and have not yet been able to find out for sure whether they really honored my founder's tile. i talked with my guide about it several times when the internet address they gave would not let me in. she had another disney employee contact me and get the info and he promised to make sure the information was in the right hands and the tile would be there when the time came. i then received a notice that he had not put the information thru and that it was then too late.

i really am not trying to be a complainer, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

i did not have any problem with the akv founder's information.

i do realize that sometimes misstakes do happen and the job is just a little bit overwhelming, but i would like to know whether to look for it or not.

has anyone heard from their tiles?????????????

i will be coming home in sept and would like to look for it.

It is probably too late. but would definitely write to DVC management and complaint - breaking promises like your guide and the other DVC employee did is not what DVC likes to stand for - so definitely complaint.

hey with the rates being better now then - might ask for a refund - still DVC broke it promise to you - not the other way around

don't let your guide get away with not telling her boss that she goofed

not an owner yet... but def. a groupie! Can't wait to go in January!

 

[honeymo78]

Just wanted to share.....we'll be going "home" for one night in a standard studio before heading to our other home, akv, for a week in a concierge one bedroom. Still wait listed for a mk view that one night but we are so excited anyway. We really didn't think we'd be at blt until next year.

I'm so excited! I've been waiting for DVC near MK. Just bought at BLT. 1st trip home april 2010!

 

[tmgandolph]

New owner just this month! The ink is fresh on the paperwork and on it way back via fed ex today!
First planned trip home is not until Oct 2010, but you never know when a quick trip might happen! :

We bought it for the view and the walking convenience to MK and the ability to easily hotel hop easily during the holidays!

We just purchased a 50 pt. add-on at BLT on July 9. We are so excited about it. We would have liked to purchase more, but with banking and borrowing I think we will be able to enjoy that resort as much as we love BCV. We just couls not resist it after we saw it. We are planning on spending our first week there in November of 2010 after our cruise.

Hey all you technical and artistic genuises!

There absolutely HAS to be a BLT owner that has the "know how" to make a logo for us right?

We had an awesome one created last year, but it was sized odd and some people couldn't get it to fit in their siggie. I like some of the ones out now, but would LOVE to have one created for all us BLT cronies

Anybody out there willing to create one for us? I'd really appreciate it and thanks in advance!

 

[spiceycat]

Welcome Home and Congratulations everyone!!!

going for one day in Sept, 3 days in March and finally 5 days next Dec.

can't wait!
