We are buying 160 points at BLT. We are waiting on the paperwork to arrive. I have a room on hold for April (Studio - Standard View). Can anyone tell me what I might have a view of? Should I upgrade and go with Lake View? I know that at the CR the MK view is also parking lot view. Will standard view at BLT be comparable? I am trying to maximize my points for 3 trips next year. The point system will take me a while to figure out. I hope that the paperwork will explain the booking process to me. I want to book a trip in September & November/Dec. If I have enough points a few nights in May as well. Thanks in advance for any information.

Take a look at the views thread there are photos from standard view studio rooms there. I was in 7306 and it was a great standard view studio room.

I know its just me, but I am having a hard time reading the maps!!! I have a ressie for June for lake view studio. I requested North Wing, room facing North. Was this a good suggestion? I also asked for high floor 12th and up. But can I get some room numbers that might fit these requests?

I'm crushed! I tried to make it easy to read, oh well... If you want a studio (yellow rooms on the first map) on the outside of the "C" (face north), then you want XX06, XX08 or XX14, where XX is the floor number. If you want the 12th floor or higher, then your choices would be 8206, 8208, 8214, 8406, 8408 or 8414. There are only 6 rooms that meet your criteria. Why 12th floor? You should at least be willing to start at a lower floor to increase you chances of north facing... I think that 7th or 8th floor would be plenty high enough to have a great view....

Well I was going for the law of averages, assuming they won't be able to meet my floor request, but give me something close to it. If I put 7 or 8, well that leaves the door open, right? Doesn't the building go to 16th floor? Only six studios from floor 12 to 16? Ok, now I need to find your map! Thanks!

The 15th and 16th floor northside on the outer part of the "C" are grand villas, there are a total of 4 studios on the 15th and 16th floor (8509, 8537, 8609, 8637), but they are on the inner part of the "C" and face toward the pool.

I just called MS and changed my request to 9th floor and higher. I went back to your map.. I saw the GV's !

Well I just broke down and purchased a 250 point add on just prior to the rate hike. We have owned SS since 2005 and we love our DVC. Our new point total is 560 pts. We will be staying at our new home in July 2010 with a MK view for 10 days. My boys and I are very excited for this upcoming trip.

Just joining the group.

We are currently members at SSR and we just added 100 points (in 2 50 point contracts...love the tips from this board) at BLT today.

I am kind of kicking myself for not adding on when the price was $96. I almost did, but I was not quite ready, and I guess there is something to be said for being sure about a purchase when laying out that much cash, KWIM?

Anyhooo...off to read the whole thread.

I am way too excited for my first trip home in February at BLT. I was torn between BLT and AKL, but glad I ultimately chose BLT. I figured it would book up quicker and I wanted to be close to MK. My friend and I staying for five days in a one bedroom lake view villa and then moving to a one bedroom villa at AKL Jambo for five days. It works out perfectly! We will do EPCOT and MK area DDP restaurants while at BLT. When at AKL, will do AK, DTD, and DHS area restaurants.

I am so glad I found this thread! We are very happy new BLT owners! I am excited beyond words!!! My daughter & I went to a DVC presentation in Boston in the spring, did not buy because I wanted to see in person what DH and I would be buying. So on our recent trip in September, we toured BLT and were blown away. We are SO looking forward to many, many happy vacations with our family, friends and sometimes just the two of us.
One question, though...I just want to tell everyone I know about how happy and excited we are, but can't explain it well to people who just think it's just for taking kids to the parks. It's SO much more! I guess I just want to share the happy, giddy, excited feeling and hope it never goes away. How do you share DVC info?

 

[starstruck93]

We're in the process of closing right now!!! I've NEVER been this excited in my life..... well, O.K., my wedding day and having DS.... BUT other than that.. NO! LOL! YEAAAAA! I love knowing we own a little piece of the MAGIC! We only have DS (no more kiddos in the future) so we got 160 points.

Congrats and understand your point, people always say didn't you just get back from there? These boards are the best way to share your excited feeling, other won't get it. Just know that you will enjoy!

[Rjsoto24601]

Hey everyone! My dh and I are new BLT owners as well! This past September we bought 260 points at BLT and CAN'T WAIT to go home! We've planned a trip for Feb 2010, but will be staying at SSR since there was no availability at BLT. We are however wait listed for a 1 bdrm. We've already started thinking about our first BLT stay, if our waitlist falls through, and are looking at Dec 2010. YEY!

SOOOO happy I found this thread!
